Congrats. My first car was a hand-me-down '76 280. 120 HP in a 3500-lb car was a lesson in momentum-conservation. Particularly as we lived on a hill.
Vapor lock left me stranded a couple times. Hard acceleration on a hot day up a long hill, followed by waiting at a stop sign or red light would stall the car. And then you'd have to wait 30 minutes for everything too cool down so that you could restart it.
The car was built solidly, though. It makes the supposedly vault-like door of a 911 feel like a tin can in comparison to the closing the door on a Mercedes.
