I'm flabbergasted at the comments about driving comfort. We had a 77 with bench seat and I found it to be very uncomfortable on long trips. It was a 305, a totally gutless POS that wouldn't have been able to do a peg-leg burnout even if you put Crisco under the rear tires. Got rid of that after about one year, and never missed it at all. Had a 71 Monte prior to that and an 84 SS later on and they were both fine.

That sounds like our '73 (maroon, no vinyl on the top, swivel buckets, rallys). Dad saw it sitting on the lot and sort of spontaneously bought it.

I think it had a 1:1 rear axle ratio. It would barely make it up our driveway.

We sold that and got the '74 Chevelle that I still have today.
