I had one to, in 1981. It was a high school graduation present from my now late father. Blk with Gold Velour interior. Every factory option but -T-tops. Had the 6.6 liter Olds 403, with the automatic, but still enough power, to break the tires from a dead idle... Not fast by today's standards at only 185hp, but Definitely fast in that Era. As a matter of fact, the T/A 6.6 engine option, in that year, with the four speed manuel, rated at 220hp, was the fastest production car for that year...
