The performance was way better than from factory as the engine was a 283 bored to 301 and it had 2 four barrels. Also the bumpers and top were off most of the time. I never got beat from light to light because I could get 60 out of 1st gear. It came with a 3-speed.

This car was so much fun to drive. It is in excellent condition. Pereformance was great. 4 speed, shift was very smooth. Had a few squeaks and rattles but don't they all. This car was the most fun to drive of all.

The car is great for car shows and it turns heads.

LIKES - Good looking, Girls liked riding in it ! In shop once to have shifter stalk welded up so it quit sliding around when shifting. Jeez I was cool then ! The fit and finish was ok for those years. OIl changes and air filters were cheap back then. But ! The car was a dog from the first stomp on the gas. Good fuel economy. Gas was 17.9 cents a gallon. It was a blast driving to the pubs at night with the top down. Except for the winter.

A lot of fun to drive... Easy to work on, with no computer. The car gets a lot of attention any where you go. I do not drive it in rain or snow, like we get a lot of snow anyway, here in Texas.
