Since I can only find.. this one and the pale green one... What happened to the GT40 Roadster that Custom Car builder Dean Jeffries had?... When I first met him, visiting his shop in Hollywood.. he let me sit in it .

Oh, sweet baby Jesus, that auto is gorgeous. Back when cars had style, class, elegance. I miss those days.

I campaigned a '72 LT-1 on the streets in the late 1970's. Actually owned the car for about 3 months before I really learned how to drive it. It was a 3.70 geared car. For maximum performance, I'd come out of the hole above 3500 rpm and keep it there. Below that, the factory 780 double pumper would cause it to stumble, but above 3500 it was a monster. The best shift points were actually around 6300 rpm, but I never really watched the tach all that closely -- you listen to the engine. The car would easily run 60 in 1st gear, 95 in 2nd, and 137 in 3rd, and bark the tires shifting into 4th. Some may doubt that, but it's the truth. I raced against some fast stuff, and some of the races were close -- until 4th gear. And then it was over for them -- every time. From there the car would quickly run on up to about 160. I raced other '72 LT-1's and beat them all, but not by much. Had I raced a '70, I would have expected to lose. From what I understand, they were crazy fast in the right hands and with the right amount of traction. I bought my car in 1976 with 38,000 original miles on it, paid $1000 more for it than it cost new, and owned it 4 times.

Id rather find one to fix up myself cheaper than pay a rich mans full value price.

Are you kiddin me? 90K for a super duty 73? All original low mileage. Even tho it was an automatic, I thought it would've gone way past 100. must be an old auction. Why the drop in trend?

The funny part is the car was in valet mode and all the power was suppressed during the test drive. Guess they should have called me to unlock it :)

I remember going to my local Ford dealer in April 69. They’re sat a black on black 69 boss 429 the sticker price of $5500. I was foaming at the mouth. Man I wanted that car bad. Most are right it was under carbureted and under cammed

My first car in high school was a 1973 Datsun 240Z. Married at age twenty, the first car we bought together was a 1980 Datsun 280ZX. Loved the Z cars. I like the newest Z that is out, may have to get one…..

Why would you have a car and not drive it? I get the sentiment, but the fun is to drive a car you buy. A car is NEVER a good investment and should never be looked at that way. It’s a machine that will degrade and depreciate over time. Might as well have fun driving it.

He probably doesn’t have intercourse with his partner to “keep the miles off” for the next guy 😂

World tour it is!

This guy must own a few vettes

BUY A CAR, DRIVE YOUR CAR!!! A car is designed to be a toy not an investment, you can baby your car, but you will be happier driving in it than looking at it.

this is not what i do with my low mileage cars, I drive the crap out of them, some poor guy worked really hard so i could enjoy his car, and I'm gonna enjoy it myself and not let some other guy enjoy something I worked hard to keep new instead of enjoying it myself. obviously still keep it as nice and maintained as you can, but never be afraid to use enjoy and yes abuse something that WILL wear out. it might as well be you that gets the most fun out of the things you own. also older super low mileage cars always have a ton of weathered, decayed, and dry rotted stuff that no one notices until something breaks at the worst possible time, the one time you are trying to have a really fun time. but if you regularly put the car through its paces, you will find all that stuff, and she will be ready to go when you want to take her out on a road trip, or a fancy date, or a twisty back road. and for the sake of your sanity and the car, if you love the car, DO NOT use big box store parts. they are junk. use OEM parts, they cost twice as much, but last four times as long.

PORSCHE HAS THE SAME LOOKS FOR 50 YEARS AND IT STILL HAS SNAP OVERSTEER

Wait 6 months you will get one for38 thousand

Love the white interior

One word, AWESOME 👌

Easily 1 of my favorite cars. 1970 Grand Sport , Chevelle, Skylark...

The LT-1 was fun and powerful.

Driving with the hood open? -_-

👍👍👏👏

Not correct. The wheelbase does not change because the vehicle has the WS6 package. It is not a cassette player it is a 8 track. They were two different things. That radio is a half year only radio.

Gorgeous car

That price seemed kinda low to me

Fun fact…engine designed by Honda…

Is this show even on anymore? I loved when it aired. Wish it was back on the air.

🏆Awesome ride🏆 I had a 69 Super Bee 383 4-speed plus the Coronet 440 don't sell it will hunt you 🧌forever👀✌️

I had one when I was in the Navy from 59-63. I was stationed in Key west and drove it home to my parents in Boca on the week ends. I loved that car. It was a 1955 BN1 4cyl 100/4 3speed w/electric overdrive. Wished I had it today.

The engines weren't 'overrated'. It was BS pooped out by the auto rags to sell magazines.

Great car, good review! Unnecessary loud and crapy music.😢

Awesome!

😍

TraMs Am?

I was 1985 ... I before I am 1974... I was 19 yr. Call to from... Worth willing? I met the 1985 ... I was 2007... That got to him... Some that some thought... 2024... 2030 that... Think... That's why you ... 911...

Quit reliving the past or trying to

Best performance car of 1973. Hands down. When Pontiac was great.

They were capable of well over 500 hp. Motor as installed in a Boss 429 Mustang was severely strangled by a much too small carb, mild cam that wasn't even tailored to the Boss's valvetrain geometry, and horribly restrictive exhaust manifolds. Somewhere between 375 and 425 was actually probably the real output of a stock Boss 9. I knew a guy who's father bought him one as his high school graduation present right off the showroom. He drove it a year or so and parked it behind their farm's shop after it broke a rocker arm. He didn't bother fixing it because he was tired of being beaten by small block cars. The motor was awesome and exotic in race form. In stock homogulation form it was not that impressive. Not its fault, but the truth. Ford should have put the Boss motor in Torinos and give it a decent cam, bigger carb, and freer flowing exhaust. The Torino platform would have made much more sense.

1973 Was the best year for the Trans Am, taking both performance and styling into account.

Cool car. Classic muscle.

"I don't like gated shifters" Well, you're 'murican so you don't like shifting at all.

Winter of 69, Lancaster NY, suburb of Buffalo. Waiting for the school bus in New development, every morning white Boss 429 goes by and turns right into the new construction homes in the winter. Black wheels and snow tires on the rear, factory mags on the front.

I don’t think I’ll bother watching this site. You say burning rubber, give us burning rubber.

Correct 1970ss lS6 black white stripes number 3 right behind green viper and black ZR1 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

American pushrod dinosaur sound? No. Dual overhead cam 4 valves per cylinder flat 12 Italian masterpieces sound 27 times better

Hello, my American luxury cars promotion CZcamsr friend, I see that everyone on CZcams is doing car promotion advertisements, but in their lives, they want to attach a small camera to the back of luxury sports cars, shoot a full hour long video and record it. People in the world are always doing car promotion advertisements. What about CZcamsrs? Well, these CZcamsrs are in their lives. They do not think of installing a small-scale video camera on the back of luxury sports cars for even one day in their lives. I mean, there are some people in the world who have never had a luxury sports car in their lives. I mean, while people are always driving in luxury cars, they always tell the details of the car inside the car. Wanting to attach a small camera to the back of the car to reflect the thumping sounds of the car

I just love to get in that car and hit the golf course.

This is an A12 Car

Exactly color was in the neighborhood of Lancaster NY back then. We couldn't believe Dodge and Plymouth came out with such a bad ass supercar, especially the hood scoop and plain black steel 15" wheels with chrome lug nuts from the factory!

The 70 LT-1 Corvette is a real performance car, power steering not air conditioning was available. Duntov was keen on this engine and in a Motor Trend interview back in 1970, he said that street Corvettes should use the wide ratio four speed versus close ratio.
