My wife had a 3.1 euro...black ice killed it in 1996

Pretty fun little car...i drove it a few times when we were dating

I had a red 1991 Euro. It had 170k miles on it. Got a $1,000 towards our 2010 Malibu when I traded it in. Pretty sure it got sent to the crusher. It was my first car.

Remember how the muffler on these would go out a couple years into ownership and they would all run around roaring that V6 bellow? Almost every one of these around here back in the day and currently (it still is a white trash dream car along with a red Pontiac Grand Am in most of WV) sounds like shit.

When I was a kid my dad was looking at these vs. a Taurus. He got the Taurus. These seemed much cooler.

The Taurus was a tank. I owned a second gen SHO with the 3.2 V6 and auto and it was amazing even at over 100K miles. It prompted my mother to buy a second gen for a daily with the 3.0 Vulcan. Not much power, but also not bad for as light as they were, and the car lasted forever.

The Nascar version of it was pretty badass. The heyday of Dale Earnhardt and Cole Trickle.

The 90s lumina and the Tbird were prolly the best lookin stockcars ever...next to the aerobird

My uncle had a white Z(34?) when I was probably 6 or 7 years old. Don’t know squat about them but my mom drove me around in it once or twice and she said it had some pep.

I just found this build thread where a guy is doing a LS swap on a Z34, keeping the FWD and making it manual using a mix of parts from later V8 Monte SS

Nostalgic video, Travis. Brought back some good, and not so good, car related memories. I forgot how darned ugly that car was. We are really spoiled now. LOL.

Terrible memories for me. I got rid of a nice 73 K-5 Blazer for a Chevy Citation X-11. I was a moron at 18.
