Nicer looking, better ride, more creature comforts, etc.  
For a daily driver Id much rather have rear drums. They dont wear out nearly as quick and the car will still stop just fine.

Talk about anal rape. Back then you probably couldve had a Mustang or Camaro or alot of other better cars for that price.

Funny, the same thing I think about a '90 Honda. I can think of quite a few domestics the same age people want and would still pay a decent amount for- Camaro’s, Mustangs, Corvettes, etc.

In the real world most people would laugh at somebody for paying $14k for '90 Honda anything.
