What is left unstated in the thread is the fact that this was the low end "fuel economy" model. We had been through 2 Arab oil embargos in the 1970's and gasoline trippled in price, our wages did not. That same year also had a "Crossfire Fuel Injected" Z-28 5.0 liter V-8. It is kind of like buying the 1 LS now. By the end of the production cycle, these cars had 5.7 liter V-8's and had gone through the IROC era. It took the car makers about twenty years to undo what the Tree Huggers did to us. The LS series of engines didn't just leap off of a blue print to take the place of the sixties engines, they were developed from the lows of the 1970's to the present. Remember, with the stroke of a pen, our government can ban our beloved V-8's.
