'70s rides, decade of disaster or delight?

[GillesBigCowboy]

My first car was an indestructable 4sp 71 volvo 142s.
Traded it for a horse then traded back same horse for same car 4 years later.
Also had a couple 240z and the best of all:
1977 Porsche 924 - weak engine amazing in the sweepers on the drive to my gf house.
79 mustang with straight6 and autotragic sucked aaas
Overall a good decade of cars.

This sounds amazing. Foot pegged on a long sweep is a thrill.

Oops, You are right.

The Plymouth Barracuda is a two-door car that was manufactured by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1964 to 1974.

yes the 64-69 was an A-body and 70-74 was an E-body.


How about a 76 Plymouth Feather Duster? It isn't no race car, but built for economy in mind. Used aluminum parts, included aluminum replacements for the inner hood, trunk bracing, bumper brackets, and intake manifold, cutting weight by 180 lb (around 5%). It had a smaller single barrel carburetor, economy distributor calibration, large exhaust, and a 2.8:1 rear axle ratio, with a choice of three-speed automatic or four-speed overdrive manual transmission. Got 22/31mpg with Auto and 24/36 with manual. (from valiant.org)
