I have a early bronco and attend the Georgia early bronco meet and greets a couple times a year

There was a guy showed up with a scout and everyone was fine with it
Especially since it had ford engine and axles

He said he got asked not to come back to the scout club meet and greet

I'm a car guy. Gear head

I can appreciate just about any kind of car
Stock or modified

Except the The rice boy stuff with the fart can exhaust
And the guys with pickups where they lift the front but not the back
Leave me scratching my head.   

Performance per dollar you can beat a used , last gen Firebird/Camaro

Almost same performance as a corvette but a semi useable back seat and much cheaper insurance

Just be glad you didn't buy it new
They depreciate a lot   But yours should be right in that sweet spot where it's bottomed out or close to it

I've owned two F-bodies.  A 70 and a 78
Also owned a lot of 60s mercurys
And several 66 thunderbirds

Oh.  And I'm a little embraced to admit ,   a Chevette
Needed something cheap to drive after I crashed my 78 Formula Firebird , before I bought the 70 Trans Am

That depends on the Chevette...
I've seen a 440 in a Dodge Colt, AMC big blocks in Gremlins and Pacers, a 455 Oldsmobile in a Chevette, and a Northstar 4.6 in an X11 Citation.
Fugly cars are great sleepers.  Can't see the tube frames sitting next to them.  Amusing to see a Z28 get spanked by a Citation or the Mirth Mobile.

Mine had a pathetic carbed four banger with a 3 speed automatic

My brother has a 88 Fiero GT fastback with a all aluminum 4.9 Cadillac V-8 in it

Car has about 200K on it
He's has never washed it , it's (was)white  ,now covered in mold  and mildew , has a torn plastic fender and a leaky exhaust

And it will out accelerate just about any vehicle on the planet
He works at a law firm and is always drag racing the lawyers on the 2 lane get-on ramp to the interstate .

He's beat every  lawyer in their BMW, Porsche , corvette etc that will race him down the ramp

He sold both his corvettes because the V-8 Fiero is so much faster and handles curves better than either of his  corvettes

The Fiero is automatic.  Which actually accelerates quicker ,
No wheel spin because the engine is right in front of the wheels
When you nail it , the back squats to the bump stops and  the front tires will almost come off the pavement and then it's gone .
