Yes, it is a fun car. Has 3.73's with a Gear Vendors Overdrive. 2.91's with the OD. Just put 275/60-15 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials for the street. Have to spin them a few times to get them sticky, but then they hook on the street, and that is lots of fun.  |

yeah that's us. I'm driving it to work tomorrow. FI 455 makes a nice commuter 
We drove it to Kentucky a couple of times for the GSCA Nationals in Bowling Green. (Andy, listen up!) I also drove my '86 455 powered suburban to Bowling Green in '01.

| My college car was a 70 Olds Toronado with the 455. It was not as fast as my friends 70 Buick Riviera GS.
Was looking at getting a 3 year old Riviera, Toronado or Grand Prix. but the Toronado was the first good deal that I found. Flat front floorboard and drum speedometer were unique. Wish I had gotten a 66-67 Riviera GS. They still look good to me. The boatails were too new ($) back then. I really like them too.
