Did I hear that correctly? 2+2 was 18K, GN was 14K? No wonder there aren't many around. Unless you were a Pontiac or NASCAR lover you may not have bought one.

The most expensive out of all of them with the least performance at that.

The only thing the 2+2 had on any of them was the aerodynamics. It really had an edge on all of them along with handling. That paltry 150HP 305 and 3sp Auto killed it though.

UGH.

Can't wait to build one and make it RIGHT...:D

Yeah the 2+2 got the shaft for sure. I never understood why they gave it 3.08's either.

Sure would have been nice to have one of those cars brand new. If only I was born in the 70's....
