Chevy once put a V8 in a small truck.  It was called an el Camino.

The newer truck looks like a goddamn tractor-trailer next to the square body.

That would be my choice.  But some want something more polished.  Plus, the Merc probably hasn’t idled most of its existence.

A quick Google (Does one capitalize proper verbs? Is there such a thing a s a proper verb? Any grammar nazis in the house?) shows that to be around 55000 smackers today. For that price I would expect at least 400 HP, so, high but in the ballpark.

I remember this! I don’t necessarily think the decision to mothball a brand new 1 of these was unwise, just odd. My choice would’ve been a Cadillac CTS-V/Chevy SS/Holden Commodore SS, or Corvette, with all 3 pedals of course.

Mixed feelings today, but I’ll go with a NP vote. Musclecars of yore are going for at least this much these days. Here you have something with a shorter shelf life, mechanically solid, & better in almost every way than something from the ‘60s, the unavailability of a pedal being the most egregious fault of these. It…

Grand National a sleeper?  I get the same goosebumps seeing 1 of those as I get seeing a Panther body.

My parents bought the ‘87. It had the 2.8. At 125 HP, it was 5 above the Iron Puke. My parents apparently didn’t know what horsepower was for, or any luxury item really. It’s like they grew up with horse drawn buggies.  Oh, wait, they kind of did.

Ah yes, memories.

Buick had sold an actual coupe in the form of the RWD Regal. That Regal received an optional turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine and special badging to create the Grand National,. . . .

I’m so tempted.  I think that I’ll pull the trigger.  If it comes with a stack of paperwork, then it could be trouble free long enough to get 5000 bucks’ use out of it.

Start again lol.

Nothing American. That’s for sure.

Most anything that pisses off a HOA is a friend of mine!

Be careful what you wish for.

CP only because it’s a RR. I’d rather drive up a rock in a Pinto with someone closely following me than deal with repairs on a RR.  If this were a Toyota LC, then the asking price would be money in the bank.

That’s C5 money. Plus, slushbox?  CP.
