Power was ok for the time. Also doesn't look too bad. I like it.

Cool.
 
This car makes me think of another heavy drinking, middle-aged, fat American, that seems to not be very useful at anything you could ask for it to do.

Homer Simpson.

And even though Homer isn't too bad when it comes to TV entertainment, at least not when it comes to the 90s Homer, if he was a real life person he would be very, very uncool. It's the same situation for this car.
 
Perfect for those with weekend Huggy Bear fantasies.

Uncool.

Uncool. Nothing cool about it.

I can tell you that this car is cooler than something. A Yugo is more exotic than a Magnum and it isn't as cool.
 
Nothing special.

Meh.
 
So guess what? The Junkman had a Magnum that played a prominent role in the movie as an assassin's car. He and a woman in a Thunderbird try to stop this movie star in a Cadillac Eldorado.

Of course, this happens to the Dodge in the movie.

A happy day for those who could care less.

Uncool. Not recognizable enough to folks: they'll just think it's an old piece of American iron that the creepy uncle in a movie gets to drive. Saved from the depths of SU because, like most Malaise-era cars, it's not trying to be cool.
 
:lol: but surely they build the best zambonis?

I knew where it was going. Hence why I went the route I did. :p
 
It could very well have been a compensation car for some I suppose lol, Saturday night fever style? Needed the platform shoes to reach the pedals, at least I would have.

That may not be enough, combined with weight and compared to useful and lighter cars from europe of that period.

Slap a supercharger on it some headers and triple your horsepower :lol:
 
Doesn't look bad. I'll give it a "Meh" rating.

I'd rather save my my superchargering for a car that looks like it missed being crushed in the 90s for some other reason than a mistake. :lol:

It's the way these turds look is kinda why I think they are cool. No one likes them, so in a way it's kinda like a big 🤬 you :lol: besides, no one would see this coming.

No self respecting pimp would be caught dead in one of these. Lincoln still sold the "real" Continental in 1978.

That's why they're only weekend fantasies. Plus through the telescope from Britain, the car just has to be American and of a certain vintage.
