This car could be anyones pride and joy,.And back then in the 70's they were trying to promote cars like the Chevette and Pinto. People still wanted cars with character, style, and power. Not a tin can, throw away econobox. This car still had close to 300 horses ! These cars run and drive like they are on a cloud, With its 455 V8 you will have plenty of power and can still squeal the tires . The interior is as comfortable as any Buick made today. These cars were made for 6 people to ride in,not your typical convertible of today. Equipped with all the power options, it was luxury packed in a convertible shell for you to enjoy. Even with the big 455 V8, if driven conservatively, can achieve close to 18 MPG on the long trips. Keep in mind the car was designed for comfort, style and power, not fuel economy.
