According to the ProfessCars™ estimation this Buick would accelerate 0-60 mph in 19.1 sec,

Yikes......
Got you beat! 1977 Mercedes 240D. Bought it from my parents in 1999. Estimated 0-60 in 22.5 seconds, but my recollectionis more like 25. Thing couldn't get out of its own way but sure liked to belch diesel soot when you really hit it. Engine was simple and bullet proof and it just looked awesome. Id been working on it with my dad since i was about 8 years old Great first car. Finally sold it to a restorer with 250k+ miles on it (estimated. Odo quit working at 217k).
