A great looking car, but from a period when virtually all the muscle had been stripped from American cars by emissions regulations and new technology had not yet appeared to restore the missing horsepower. I clicked like because it looks great and in the game you would be able to tune it up, but American cars from this sad period hardly had the power to pull the skin off a rice pudding!
 
It's sad, but it's true. Fortunately in real life, aftermarket has come around well enough to strip off the crappy stock parts and put on performance parts that will make this car a fire breather rather fast.

If it lacks power, at least it still has the classic loud ass American V8 sound as something redeeming. Here's a few more pics.
