What was done back in the '70s customization wise?

Ghoste

Air shocks and side pipes were big but I don't have any pictures.

My dad was talking about the stuff he had custom on his '70 Camaro earlier today, and it got me thinking


Did he put a Dana 60 under it?

Nope. Cragers, Lifted Rear End, High Rise Intake, Air Shocks, etc.

"Crager rims, chrome engine parts, custom paint, etc." are '70's mods? Seems to me like they're all still pretty popular.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

I've never lost my soft spot for front pushbars, CB antennas, and Vector wheels.  Preferably on orange Chargers.

You don't see to many cars with them today(maybe this is what did them in) but the $99 pop out sunroof was popular in the 80s.

Cutting big holes in the door panels or kick panels for speakers,

Yellow lakewood trackion bars

Edelbrock triangle air cleaner

Russell braided hoses or braided hose covers in assorted colors were really big
