I had one, a 75 with the factory 5.7. I swapped that out for a 400 small block after my ex hopped an island on Saratoga Ave and holed the oil pan, and drove until it threw a rod through the side of the block. Fun to drive, but traction was a constant problem.
I had a 79 I think, that thing would go into full spin mode if you touched the gas pedal wrong. It always ran kind of lumpy on account of not being able to get at all the spark plugs without lifting the moor. I kind of wish I had that little car today.
