Yeah.. too bad the '76 only cranked out 190 horsepower, had a 3 speed automatic transmission, horrible steering ratio, and weighed more than 5000 lbs dry.

So much for the classics, eh?

To be fair, the earlier versions of the vehicle had much more grunt to them.. GM neutered it at some point, probably because of the fuel crisis.

And it was a reallly gorgeous car..
