They all need baths, but my fleet is finally filled out to where I want it.

As far as full sizers w/ 6 cylinders, I think the only '71-76 GM B-bodies with 6s would be the Chevy Biscayne/Bel Air in '71-73 (a 3spd manual was standard w/ the 6!), and the '76 Buick Le Sabre had an available Buick V6. That must have been quite the slug.

Took about 20 mins AFTER everything was disconnected, but got the 4bbl & intake off. More visual reaffirmation, in the form of rust, scunge and filth- that a rebuild is in order.

Well, it was to make them loss leaders and to make full-sizes accessible to a broader segment. For one, I could hardly see the previous '76 Grandville Brougham sedan with a 6, or even a 4.3 V8. That would be absurd. I can only imagine where the temperature gauge would go when climbing the Grapevine on I-5, for example. With the downsize, a 6 cylinder, together with a bench seat, blackwalls, and wheel covers, could put people who needed and wanted the roominess but didn't need the power behind a full size for less coin. I'm thinking a retired lady in the flat parts of the interior who just needed to shop and go to church. That is, for the most part, who bought the 6s and the 4.3 V8s in these cars. The traveling salesman would go Brougham, larger engine, and all the power accessories. Edit: I am correcting myself. Either a 229/231 V6 and a 250 I-6 was in fact available for all BOP + C entry-level grade full-sizes (Impala, Bonneville/Catalina(?), 88, LeSabre) in that initial 1977 model. @David I forgot to mention the sticker shown for that Bonneville - $ 8,197. Amazing. And that's with an upcharge for the 400 V8 and the heavy duty alternator! Had they gone with a small block V8 and skipped the upgraded alternator, it would have come it at $ 7,9##. Where do I sign ... for that same price? Stat!

Whoops. Wrong thread. I thought I posted this in random thoughts

Where's the evidence for that figure? Tesla's cannot drive autonomously right now, no car can or will within 10 years - there has to be a driver. If the car makes about what Uber cars make, and you have to pay a driver salary+benefits, there's no potential to earn anything. Fantasy.
