It wasn't until 1986 for me, but I had a small block v8 Oldsmobile Rocket 350. Sadly it was fitted in one of the ugliest packages it could have been - a 1976 Cutlass Supreme - white with a fading blue fake convertible top. EWwwwwww... Of course, it was fitted with the best aftermarket stereo I could afford from Crutchfield from my lawn mowing/caddying money at the time (at least that Mom would let me spend). I'm convinced that both doors on that coupe weighed more than my GR86. Got thirteen miles to the gallon (if I was lucky), but when you pushed hard on the accelerator, you could almost feel the carburetor open up and just dumping gas into the cylinders.
It still pisses me off that my sisters got to drive a silver 1969 Chevy Caprice Classic - now that car had style.
