Odd that it only has 20k miles on it. Hope the mice enjoyed living in it.

LOL! 20-30K miles is pretty good for the garbage being put out by Detroit back then. My wife inherited a 71 Olds Cutlass Rocket 350 a few years back. We drove it back from Denver and got it licensed. We drove it around a bit, it was really cool with the thrush mufflers. It was also one of the crappiest cars ever built. The muffler began to fall off after a few hundred miles. The heater blower didn’t work. The A/C has been gutted. It handled for shyt. We sold it to some collector a few months after we got it.

Nostalgia is fun. But those old cars are crap. I played with some old 60s/70s motorcycle restorations back in the 90s. Same story. Those bikes that were so cutting edge are dogs with sh1tty suspensions, lousy handling and worse brakes. Now I just keep photos of old bikes. Damm they were pretty. But crap. I’ll keep my Tiger1050 ABS thank you.
