I think it must be a rite of passage at Jalopnik. Now, Mr. Sorokanich has joined the ranks of Alanis King (https://jalopnik.com/the-most-entertaining-explanation-of-differential-aroun-1752885626), Chris Perkins (https://jalopnik.com/ten-videos-every-car-enthusiast-needs-to-watch-1693485136), Chris Perkins again…

This is GM trying to be exciting, and failing miserably. 200 hp! Only it was still slow as balls and sounded like somebody continually clearing their throat. If you can hear the engine over the rattles inside.  I swear, if someone wasn’t a pickup driver, they had a Lumina coupe.  This is just one of many “lipstick…

What else is in this collection? Intimidator Edition Monte Carlos and a Chevy Celebrity “Eurosport”?

I just fed them nuts and seeds. Squirrels are great if you treat them like pets you don’t have to bring inside.

I like a fun, sporty vehicle myself, but people that buy absolutely stupid shit like this should have to pay much higher registration, taxes and licensing fees every year. Obviously insane gas prices don’t seem to be making a dent.

Chicken prices are sky-high right now because of the ongoing avian flu outbreak. Same for eggs, it really decimated commercial producers. The treatment for a case is to euthanize the entire flock...

I suppose it depends on how minimal the $5k is to you, how much you enjoy driving this, and what a second car would then cost. 

Which raises the question of why someone needs to commute in a 400hp brick.

True but they like to complain about fuel c0sts with a 80mi commute and slap “I did that” stickers to everything but their own bumper.

And blame their bad decisions on Joe Biden.

And I’m sure many of the owners will post pics on social media of their gas bill at the pump stating “This is bullshit...”

This is a replica of the pace car... not the actual pace car.

Personally, I wouldn’t buy one without the obligatory steer horns on the front.

Now I’m thinking of several drivethrus in my downtown area and someone beaching this car on the narrow curbs like the Ever Given

If there is any Indy 500 race mementos that I’d clearly avoid, it would be from the ‘73 Indy 500. The grim race was marred by three tragedies which included the deaths of two drivers and one pit crew member. Furthermore, race officials dragged the somber event over three days due to rain. It was the worst 500 ever.…

I will buy this car and dress-up like Big Enos Burdette and have my daughter dress-up like little En0s Burdette.

Yep, here is a similar condition pace car with a few more miles on the odo for $21000.

Pluses: You’ll have the only one at any show or C&C you attend. Legitimate provenance.

Pace car decals belong in the trunk on their original backing paper.

I think the finned ‘70s cars like this one are, stylistically speaking, the last true Caddies. There’s just something about that land yacht flava that hasn’t been quite the same since about 1976. After that, they fell victim to badge engineering hell, and while some of the recent-vintage models are compelling…
