cars of the 50's and 60's were never meant to handle they were sold under the adage of luxury ride. they were softly sprung had narrow wheels and tires and of course non radial tires under them which added to the problem. these cars can be made to handle with the proper suspension upgrades, wider wheels and radial tires and of course adding disc brakes to make them stop properly is necessary as well. the late 60's muscle cars can be made to handle as well as C5 and C6 Corvettes pulling over 1g on a skid pad.
my son built a 70 chevelle powered by a 540 Big Block with air ride strong arm suspension and it handles almost as well as my Z51 vette.
