      @@BikerJim74 They're not about speed, it's all about the smooth ride and comfortable interior. Nothing rides like these cars anymore. The seats are like a comfy recliner in your living-room. Now, they make the seats hard and cheap. I spent 12 hour driving a fairly new vehicle as part of my employment and my butt and lower back was killing me. Drove my old 1985 Crown Victoria for 18 hours and I felt great. These old cars were wonderful on our roads today. The new ones today, you feel every single bump and jars your spine.

    My parents had one of these in the mid 80s. Dad loved that car. We lost him 11 years ago to cancer. I would love to buy this! Dad used to take me out every Saturday morning in his T-Bird for breakfast then we would wash it and just cruise around. This takes me back! My favorite test drive video yet! And I've watched a ton of your videos over the years. Thanks for this Nick!

    As a Brit with relatives in the the States I remember being so impressed with these land yachts. So iconically American. Not another country was making cars like this back then. No country had the roads for them! Glad that they’re is starting to be a little following for them now.

    All these 70s boats are amazing to drive, nothing was ever better. But you will need to maintain them! Regularly. And repair from time to time. My friend's dad had a Buick Electra, 77. Man that thing was a serious couch! But it didnhave its problems like all the 70s cars. Cars today can't measure up to this. This car and others from this era are simply the best possible ride you can get. Super quiet, super comfortable. Love it!

    Nick, I believe the mileage is accurate. The exhaust system is the telltale sign. I saw the Ford Oval on the muffler. This is a classic example of an estate car. I really like it!
