I never heard one of these cars running. Does it sound hilarious or it has some growl to that engine? I'd love to see a 0 to 60 time. I don't think there are many 4cyl left.

Uh, are you sure? The unit in the auction has a cassette slot under the preset buttons, and the sticker even says its a cassette deck.

My first car was an '83, Iron puke, t-top, sport coupe, Camaro with a 4spd and rally wheels.

They will do about 65mph tops, and that feels like the nuts and bolts will start exploding from the motor.

I at least bought it to small block swap it, but a buddy totalled it before It happened.
