Gentile prodding only, sir. I actually liked that era bowtie. Back when they dominated the wrecking yards, they were very cheap transportation for "poor, but handy" types like me. I looked for a decent one some years back and decided they had all rusted away to crap or were way overpriced... so I bought the 98 intending to eventually absorb it's parts into the 99 Burb if necessary someday.If I could have gotten a Pentastar with something bigger than a 360 I wouldn't have bought this.
