Test drove a 70 Buick Skylark when looking for my 2nd car. It was the floppiest steering vehicle I've ever driven. The steering wheel moved 4 inches without effecting the steering at all. The very best you could do was maintain a general direction. My Dad told me that's a Buick. Never looked at another Buick after that.

The Treasurer of the company my Dad worked for was sellng his son's Skylark, another Son's 65 Chevelle, and his 70 Monte Carlo. Wasn't at all interested in the Chevelle. It was an in-line six, 3-on-the-three that the shifter messed up and wouldn't go back to first. You had to get out and monkey with the shifter linkage under the hood at stop lights. Oh, and you could unlock and start it with a flat blade screw driver. Already had a vehicle, wanted a nice car.

Really wanted that Monte Carlo. He refused to sell it to me. Claimed it was too much car for a 16yo. He would sell me his son's crap cars, but not his nice one.

2nd car was a Mopar muscle car. Funny cause a few years later I bought that same Monte Carlo really cheap from another employee. It had a blown heater core. Took the 400 small block out, rebuilt it and stuck it in an 81 GMC Jimmy that only had a 305. Sold the motorless Monte Carlo, and the 305 from the GMC for enough money to pay for rebuilding the 400 adding hot rod bits.
