Of all the cars Chrysler ever built, from my experience in having one of these 79 models as an assigned lab Car that we got to pick from anything we wanted in our department while working at Chrysler, it was the best car Chrysler ever built IMO. Solid, handled very well, most comfortable seats ever (ours had the really nice, wide textured cloth bucket seats), quiet, and ran well with its 360-4 bbl engine in it (we chose the California package because it was not a lean calibration at all - and ran like a normal car, nothing like the lean burn junk - it ran much better than either of the federal 400 or 440 lean burn packages and was even significantly faster). Ours was a deep dark blue color all around and almost had a shade of purple in it. It just looked mean and driving it was very rewarding. Ours also had the textured optional wheels that made it "pop".
