    Lol. I hear ya but i'm not h e a r i n g you.

    Of course power left the muscle cars after 72. Now, is that car in the Golden Era of Muscle cars? No. But for it's time, it was a Muscle car. Think of it in boxing terms. It's not a heavyweight on power, more like a Middleweight....but in the Married Cousins department....it is a Super Heavyweight baby.

    So it's all in terms of relative.

    The car has no rust because it's in Mexico, assuming relatively north near the border?

    This car was built at the peak of the energy crisis with oil being equivalent to $100 a barrel back then just as it was a month or two ago.

    So compared to most of the other "economy" cars on the road at that time this was a muscle car

    Awww my first 3 cars were Firebirds. 77, 79 and then a 78. Had 82 T/A as well. Love those old birds. My Dad had a 78' Bandit edition with only the bird on the hood, no pin stripes.
