    As soon as I saw the name "Pontiac Tempest" I instantly thought about Marisa Tomei's character in "My Cousin Vinny"
    and how she explains the type of car that made the tire marks outside the Sack O' Suds convenience store.😂

    GM wagons with 454s and 455s were hardly rare. They were so typical they were considered mundane. At one point my brother picked up a Buick with a 501. That was kind of rare and may have been a case of Buick dipping into Cadillacs parts catalogue.

      Agree, I don't think any American automaker pushed the "muscle" car aspect until the mid to late 90's with the 5.0 pony and LS vetts. And by then the import tuners had already gained serious traction and where in truth some nimble and pretty fast sleds.
