These 1980s cars remind me of a much more simple time in life, compared to now!

That car has the distinction of being the first mass produced American car with 16" wheels, I believe. It's also one of the last GM V8 engines with an actual carburetor. The L69 305 HO was rated at 190 HP, and for it's day was quite a strong performer. Just 5 years earlier, a 400 cube Pontiac only put out 220 HP, and a 301 Turbo only 200, and this was a normally aspirated 305, with better fuel economy and emissions than either previous performer.

If it was a 5-speed, it would be tempting. One of the last Trans Ams that goes WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
