Yep that's neat but their info is WRONG. The most favored muscle option in '71 was W-30 of course and the L-69 was in '66 to answer the Goat's 389 tri-power. And of course the 365 HP '70 442 did NOT have tri-power.

Pretty bad, huh? "Olds" is synonymous with "misinformation". So how do you like the '71 442 pictured which happens to have the '72 grilles and headlight bezels?

Also, i don't imagine the 442 ever being a or THE "most sought-after classic muscle car".

I thought the L69 was for the 1967?

That is a '72 they have pictured as a '71. The L-69 was an option for the '66.

Didn't they start with pollution control equipment on all 71 models? And didn't that reduce the value and desireability of 71 an newer as a collector muscle car? Everything I have heard and read about muscle cars says that 69-70 was the pinnical of performance/HP years for such vehicles and as such makes them (any make) the most sought after.
