Where are the lower class cars?

What's the problem with FWD cars? Hey, if you want to spend more money...

1980 Plymouth Volare 225. More cam, more compression, more carb than Billy's 230 straight six Nova, both factored the same at 140HP, and I presume a 3spd over a Glide would make a big difference in one of these slower cars.

MMM! Can't find the Chrysler Conquest or Plymouth Sapparo in the Guide!

I thought for sure someone had one at one time, running P/SA. Guess that must've been a turbo combination anyway. Found a 1980 Dodge Challenger inline 4 for V/SA.... hm. Dunno. 400# lighter than the Volare or Nova in V though....

That's all I've got for now... back to work.
