Ha! My first car had the same engine GM dropped in the Tempest body to make the Tri-Power GTO (389 c.i.).

My car's 389 was the "uni-power" version though. 2-barrel carb.




^ Bonneville shown, but my Catalina looked the same. Trunk was big enough to rent out on Airbnb.

What was your first car, and first eco-car?
