    It was a boat on wheels. But mine only got 7MPG. And that “twilight sentinel” nonsense never worked right. It did have some decent pickup for its size though.

      Oh wow. The one my friend had got almost 20. He gave me a hard time because it got better mileage than my Jeep XJ of the time.

          20mpg doesn’t really sound that far fetched for a 305 if you’re mostly doing highway. Mine was a '78 and got around 14 in the city when just commuting. That thing could drink a lot more with a heavier foot though, lol

          Maybe yours was a 350?

            For a 350 to get 7mpg it would have to be a race built engine or simply run like garbage. I don’t even know how you could get a 305 to get that poor mileage but 🤷‍♂️
