Shucks. Amoco or Sunoco high test was $0.31.9 per gallon and you could burn your whole paycheck on a Friday night in one of these beasts. OPEC and politicians certainly had their hands in the demise of muscle cars, and certainly quickened it , but the doom of 6 or 7 miles per gallon ground pounders was bound to come anyway. Now you need $70,000 plus to join this club, and even someone with those means can only drive them in parades and special events, and then only rarely.
