The 280c has classic potential, IMHO. I think they are great looking cars, and for some reason I prefer the Nader bumpers over the old euro ones, on that model. The bad news is that engine won't get you much more MPG than the pickup with a tuneup. The old european big sixes were not exactly economical.... Mac
