Would it be possible to proffesionally install an airbag system on a 60's or 70's muscle car? ex. 67-69 Camaro, 67-70 GTO

it is possible, but very expensive. a dedicated cpu to monitor the sensors, the sensors, the air bag, steering wheel and the wiring harness will get upwards of $3,000. plus, depending on the horsepower and amount of torque you are producing could trigger the system accidentally. then you are looking at about $800 for another bag unit. five point buckle and roll cage would make more sense and is just as safe when used correctly.

Probably, but why? If you think you're going to wreck a classic muscle car, maybe you shouldn't drive it!
You'll probably end up destroying the value of the car, to begin with, and airbag equipped cars have ugly steering wheels besides.
If you really want a muscle car with air bags, try a new Mustang, Camaro (wait until the '08 is released) or MoPar. That'll give you better performance (better handling, brakes, suspension, engine) than any 60's or 70's muscle car ever built. Trust me, I've driven my share of the eras muscle cars and, whuile they acclerate like a raped ape, the don't, as a rule, stop or go around corners very well.

Yes it is possible of course, However, You would be a lot better off with installing some real brakes, that way you wont crash your car in the first place and need an airbag to save your face.

It is possible, but it would cost a fortune, because many of the car's structures would have to be re-designed to accomodate the sensors, and airbag. You'd also need a different seat belt (with shoulder belt). I'd say it would not be worth it, and you'd have a tough time finding someone willing to do it because of the liability.
