Just the way a fun car should be. No frills or J. C. Whitney crap. I never found out how fast my Olds went. It had a 3.23 posi rearend and at 4000RPM the speedo needle was long since buried and it would do the half lane side shifts so I would back out of it. With that rearend ratio I could actually achieve almost 19 MPG on the freeway. It was turning 2700 RPM @ 70 MPH. Mostly I managed 4-6 MPG because of chronic right foot seizures.
Very nice looking car Wayne. I was talking to a young man the otherday who was extolling the virtues of today's high tech ricers. While I can appreciate the reality of what they can do I told him "they are great but they still sound like Geese farts on a muggy day." Which is a line I stole from Leo Kottke the guitarist
