Wow, interesting comparison. This well documented if proven Olds engine option can currently fetch 80 grand plus in nice condition. I disagree on the ride as this was a luxury mid size. As far as gas mileage, who on earth cares? If you want to look at an investment that increased 20 times since purchased new, that may offset your concern. Time will tell if the Camry will. My 77 Celica GT easily doubled in value from when I bought it new.
Last, it’s great doing car shows with this 70. I had a 68, it was a nice car. Add the 1970 and 442 with W-30; it will be like having an investment to sell when you retire. Not all older cars appreciate, but this is truly an exception. It’s got everything going for it if restored properly.

1970 442 W30; A piece of Detroit ground breaking automotive history built by one of GM's most innovative divisions.
2015 Camry v6; a boring everyday plastic appliance that looks like every other generic 4 door sedan on the road today.

And the Camry doesn't come close as far as being fun to drive, beautiful styling, thumbs up and comments, appreciating value, nice V8 exhaust note, smooth ride, and I would even say reliability compared to an iconic Oldsmobile muscle car.
