Their customer base will be dead before you know it, and those buyers can just try and come up with the couple thousand extra to buy a Cadillac.

Yeah, a 1970-73 Ponitac Trans Am looked cool in their day. My parants owned one and I drove it to death. Nice interior; way ahead for its times. Exterior looked sleek. Handling was sub-par by today's standards; and other than a Stage IV version (very rare) would be slower than a 370Z. A good restoration car with upgraded suspension/brakes/engine should be fast and fun to drive. Today Buick's are big sellers in China.
