In 1985, Oldsmobile took a G-body based 442 and made it into the famed FE3X , aka Darth Vader. This car had special ground effects, a 5-speed manual transmission, Recaro seating, and modified suspension . One thing that set the car apart from the rest , was it's monochromatic black paint, lowered stance, and just a general attitude of what kind of cars Oldsmobile was capable of building .... but unfortunately never did.
