"Motor Trend tested one and found that it would accelerate from zero-to-sixty in 9.2 seconds, on its way to a quarter-mile time of 16.1 seconds at 87.5 miles per hour, not bad for a car with a curb weight of over 4,300 pounds."
Yep, not bad at all. = )

This 1969 Buick Riviera "ran when parked," but that was fifteen years ago. Luckily, it looks like a solid car for a winter project.

This 1963 Buick Riviera spent most of the last 25 years in a barn, but it's now running and appears to remain very original overall!

As the seller suggests, “[...]Are you ready to pull into the driveway in something that says, ‘I have a 25-gallon fuel tank and a complete disregard for parallel parking’?

Back when Chrysler actually made passenger cars, models such as this 1967 Newport Custom were popular and commonplace. This one needs some paint!

This thread is worth your time and consideration.
Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

Truth be told I have a thing for Hondas of this vintage and, OMG, I think I might faint. Gaah!
The Honda Accord has been a best seller for years. This example from 1979 has new paint and a rebuilt CVCC engine.
