Take it all in Oppo, the OG Land Yacht, the Buick Electra. It pulls several heart strings for me. My folks had one when I was a teenager. I got to drive it quite a bit in High School. Ours was a 1968 model and had the 430/4-bbl. This one looks good considering it’s 47 years old.

There is enough steel in that thing to make 4 or 5 Civics ....

And there’s the time when I ID’d a ‘64 Electra 225 from half a football field away and won dinner from the GF - relationship didn’t last long after that. She didn’t think I could do it.

I had a 65 Wildcat with a 401 back in college. Great car. Well, mine was a worn out rust bucket, but it was still a great car.

That’s a sports car by comparison.

It had an 8.0 liter engine so yes that would be 5 1.6 L civics!

I don’t know about that. It was 4000-plus pounds of Detroit iron!
