The reason it sat on the lot so long is proberly because that at the time it was on the lot we were going through our 1st. gas crisis & I remember it well as we were all sitting in gas lines trying to get our $ 5.00 of gas on sunday so we could all get to school & work. We could only get $ 5.00 of gas at a time at that time. Because of that the cars with big engines didn't get sold very quickly. It took a good salesman to sell a car that only got 10 miles to the gal , because at the price of .42 cent a gal. gas was expensive. You only got about 10 gallons of gas for the $ 5.00 back then so you had to watch your money just in case the gas went up another couple of cents. I know went I bought/ well ordered my 73 GTO the salesman tried to talk me into a smaller car so I could get better milage, but I got my 73 GTO instead. If your not old enough to remember this , then find a guy or gal that was old enough to drive & own a car back then & they can explain it to you better. I can't tell you how many gas lines I had to sit in to be able to get gas so we could go & run the streets at night & not run out of gas going to work & school the next day.
