and crossovers offer similar everyday usability but also include a higher seating position that many drivers prefer. At the same time, this Roadmaster isn’t a bad choice for someone who loves horsepower and an old-school driving character.
Under the hood is a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 factory-rated at 430 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque. It sends that herd of ponies to the rear wheels only through a 4L65E four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Take a listen to it doing a full-speed pass below.Let’s be clear that this isn’t even a very impractical choice for someone in the market for a vehicle with SUV-like qualities.
For example, did you notice the rear-facing bench seat that expands occupant capacity from five to eight? Those rear-facing seats even have grab handles on each interior d-pillar and a little storage cubby too. On top of that, the Roadmaster comes complete with a functional “magic tailgate” that both drops like a truck tailgate and swings from the driver’s side hinge too.Of course, the real reason you’d want to buy this Roadmaster is because it’s just so damn cool.
