The boss ran through 1970
The 440 six pack through '71 some say '72.
The Hemi through '72.

In the early seventies the government began its successful affray into boredomizing the auto industry. The nation's enthusiastic passion for cars in the 70s was surpassed by nothing, not the NFL, not the MLB, NASA, nothing. And now, after 40 years of government regulations and a couple indoctrinated generations we get excited over a six cylinder Buick from 1987.

You guys don't know what you missed. That's raining on a parade.
