Hey all. I'm 17, and have been driving my 1985 300D Turbo for about 7 months now. I think it's an excellent car, [puts on flame-retardant suit] but I drive a lot around the city and it's not a very nice car in stop and go traffic, especially with the clunky transmission. I do enjoy it quite a bit on the highway though! I've recently been getting interested in muscle cars, the 1970's Trans Ams in particular.

I think they look beautiful and I want something...fast. You should see me in my sister's 2000 Corolla, that car is like a jet on four wheels compared to what im used to! Anyways, I want to own one of these pieces of American history, enjoy it, even keep it and pass it down one day for someone else to enjoy. Of course, the insurance might be a problem (as would gas consumption for a 4.9-6.6 liter V8!), but I figure I could get a fixerupper for a decent price and have a fun project...does anyone have experience with these cars from the range of 1970-1979? Any advice etc from the wisemen?
Thanks.
