Sounds like a beast.  Mine had the standard 199cid straight-6 with the auto
transmission on the column.  It was odd, though... where (D)rive would be on
most cars I have driven, I think it had an (S), which meant it started in
second and then went to third.  The middle setting was for all 3 gears, (D)
Drive, and then the last one was just like most other cars from back then,
(L) for low gear only.  That (S) setting had no real purpose, from what I
could tell.  Trying to take off from a light in it usually meant killing the
engine.  But she ran great in (D).  :)
