I spent a lot of my high school years driving / riding in my buddy's '71 Chevelle Malubu convertible which had a '70 Corvette LT1 motor mated to a TH-350. Four drum brakes, eighty turn lock-to-lock steering, the works. It was fun in a "we have nowhere to go and we're not in a hurry to get there" kind of way.
Had a really tall final drive, too, which helped with the relaxed feeling, even if the LT1 wasn't exactly a torque monster. It would do 80 in first gear, revving to 6500 RPM. Good times. Old cars can be fun so long as they're not for daily transportation.
