Impressive looking beast in a 2095 sort of way.
I like the late 70s ear but ya...lack of a spoiler did them no favors. Nor did the smogged 305/350s.
Raced and wiped a couple of them on a freeway with my F250. Acceleration AND top end. Which speaks pretty poorly for “America’s Sports Car” of the era. I won’t mention the 485 HP FE Ford Big block that particular truck had under the hood though... ;)
Yeah, I'm trying to remember what year models they chopped the tail fin off of. I said early 80s before, but I think it was only a couple of models in the late 70s.
Buddy of mine had one, and was always kicking himself that he didn't hold off for a couple more years when the tail scoop returned. The ass on that Vette was butt ugly.
