They were daily drivers when originally sold so why not?
Damned right!
Shit, this is just the smaller 340 V8. It was literally driven by women to get groceries and pick up the kids from soccer practice.
Better than a lot of cars though still
It lacks air conditioning.
It's fun, and definitely better than a bunch of cars. But, a modern Honda can be just as quick and will handle better - while having all the modern conveniences.
Of course, if you don't want those conveniences then this would be 'better'. Except the lack of A/C... Also, the sound system is pretty archaic.
The pistol shift is pretty silly. Back in the day, it was pretty cool. Today, it just seems cheesy and like a holdover from decades past.
It's not as brutal as a 440 ci 'six pack', but it's fun. It'll happily roast the tires. You can chuck it sideways, but you should probably leave that for wide open spaces. The suspension isn't all that great - by modern standards and it handles like a car from 1970. So, chucking it sideways is more terrifying than fun. I suppose if you do so enough times you'll get used to it.
