You are correct - it was the LA version of the 318 which was
a bored out 273.

Roget's Thesaurus defines "classic car" as a vintage
automobile, and suggests "antique automobile", "antique car",
"classic automobile", and "vintage car" as synonyms. Also,
most car value guides have definitions for "new", "used",
and "classic". New being the current model year, used
going back to 1980-1990 or so, depending on the guide, and
classic being anything older than that.
So.... yes, I would absolutely consider all of your examples
to be "classic cars".

After careful consideration, I have elected to take your
suggestion under advisement, but will perform no such action at
this time. :-)
