Available engines included the base 200-ci V6 rated at 94 horsepower, the optional 231-ci V6 rated at 115 horsepower, as well as the V8-standard 267-ci rated at 125 and optional 305-ci V8 rated at 160 horsepower.

Mostly is the classic styling and individuality that the car exudes. A secondary point is the extremly comfortable ride, whether you're driving it, or a passenger. The size of the car is also impressive, as the styling makes it look larger than it actually is. They just don't design cars like this anymore.

My first car. It was great. I put Cragar rims with deep dish on the back. Only problem was the rims didn't fit due to the drum brake weight so the back end shaked violently over 65mph. It had a 287 V-8. It always started and was a warrior on road trips. It was a Landau Maroon with Maroon interior. Bench front seat.

Well first off I'm only 16 so I basically use it to run to school, work, some car shows, and wherever else I need to go. Right now it has a small block chevy 350 with a rochester 4-barrel quadrajet carb and a superstock cam in it, otherwise its basically stock. Overall it runs great, sounds excellent with the true-dual exhaust and dual glasspacks, and is pretty reliable for an older car. It is a two tone car with black up top and silver below with an arcticat green flame lick separating the two. I do have some pictures but only from when my uncle Dean and I did the painting but hopefully I will get some more. I got it when I was 14 for $800. I have been working with Dean at my grandpa's repair shop, Dan's Repair, since I was 11 so I had a nice chunk of money in the bank. Across the cost of paint, rebuilding the engine, regular restoration parts, and aftermarket interior panels I've only spent about $5,400. Engiine runs great, puts out about 370 horsepower and 390 ft. lbs. of torque and will still get about 20-24 mpg.

This car rode like a dream - just floated on the pavement! Learned a lot about working on cars with this one - they don't make 'em like that anymore! She had a 267 cu. in. "baby" V8 and I wished I still had it today! Restored it after a wreck and won an award at a car show.
