    No matter what brand you are loyal to you gotta admit that Mopar really understood the young testosterone crowd with their cars and advertising campaigns. That concept Cuda had _everything_ about 1970 down. The wheels, the slicks, the sidepipes, the rake, the painted scallops, the shaker hood... It really was Hot Wheels all grown up. It would have sold like _mad_ if it could have been made affordable enough.
    The taillights on that Ford Mirano made a lot of sense. What a great safety feature that really telegraphed what driver was doing to following traffic. Way, way ahead of its time.

    • @velocity5918
      @velocity5918 Před rokem +3

      In my opinion the Cuda was too rounded and bubbely as far as the sheetmetel went, the interior had real cheap and boring door panels etc, the other E body the MIGHTY DODGE CHALLENGER had great sharp body lines, more curb apeal and one of the best door panel and seats combos ever, the Challenger was the hottest looking of both Divisions, just look at the grill and tail lights on the 1971 Challenger no other manufactuer ever came close to that futureistic design.

    • @velocity5918
      @velocity5918 Před rokem +4

      U R SO RIGHT, Bean counters running the show. Same went for Plymouth, Chrysler, Dodge. The Ram Charges designed and raced, the Scat Pack Studio made em sell (always look for the little Rumble Bee decale on the quarter glass) Dodge was my favorite but they got to expensive to find so I went back to next favorite, Poniiac where you could find good T/A s cheap until just a few years ago. Seems the old Vetts still havent gone up in price, if you even want one. Killing Pontiac was a fatal mistake for G M! Chevys were popular affordable cars as they were intended to be, Buick was legendary even Grand ma's Wildcat was beast like the Riveara but Pontiac ruled the G M corp. Except of course the Corvett which had some pathetic generations just like the Mustang did,.

      Yes, they did. 69 in 1969 only, to be exact, and I believe a few made it into Corvettes that year as well. RPO ZL1 had the COPO 9561 427 CID aluminum engine. I’ve seen 1 of the 2 garnet red Camaros. My brother restored it for a collector on the east coast back in the ‘90s. At the time, there was only 1 garnet red car believed to be produced which was in the Floyd Garrett collection. Upon making his way thru layers of repaints and verifying the paint code, my brother uncovered the 2nd known garnet red COPO 9561 ZL1 Camaro. It was part of the Dick Bridges collection and featured in one of the muscle magazines of the times. An incredible unexpected find!

He told me that the car used 4 tanks of gas which was hard to believe as it's only 125 miles. He passed away back in 2008 and his widow sold the car along with his professional tools for about $100k. It was a very easy resto.. just needed freshening up. Can only imagine what it's worth today..

      The story behind the king Cobra is interesting. After Mopar debuted the winged warriors in nascar Ford and GM knew they had to do something to compete. Ford decided if you can't beat them then join them and developed the king Cobra. But at GM they took a different path and since the nascar was mainly run by former GM guys they pressured them to make aero cars illegal. It's things like that that makes me hate nascar and GM not to mention their cars are rolling scrap piles

      It hasn't stopped. Cars are still getting bigger and heavier today. Compare a modern Corolla to a 1970's Corolla.
      It's really about marketing. If you have a 5 year old Corolla, why would you buy a new one if it didn't offer some real advantages?
      But if it has more legroom in the back and more luggage space...

    A Friend of mine had a "Reverse" Starsky & Hutch-mobile. His was Factory White with a Red Stripe (rather than Red with the white stripe) that he got from his Brother in Law. His Brother In Law was a Police Officer down in Houston who would buy a new vehicle, keep it for a couple of months, then get Rid of it. So my Friend's had very little miles/ no body damage/ and was pretty much like it came, straight from the Factory. WE, however, put a LOT of miles on it, LOL!

    Some really cool designs! As far as concept cars fleshing out as production vehicles: It seemed Dodge started a trend of "concept as production precursor" after their Viper was put in production nearly identical to the concept, which brought A LOT of visibility to the brand.

    I can tell you where one of the ZL-1 Camaros resides. How many were made? No idea. One day I was cruising South Park in the south end of Pittsburgh, Pa. I noticed a silver 1969 Camaro that was a little bit "different" from other Camaros. This one had dog dish hubcaps, gray steel wheels, black interior and a 4 speed.
    The guy was parked by the ice skating rink there and I went over to the car. The emblems on the front fender said '427' and I was asking him about the car. He got around to opening the hood and there it was. The all-aluminum, big block 427 engine. It idled like it had a timing problem. He said that's the cam that makes it sound like that. Didn't know that much about cars back then. I was 18 at the time which would have been the year 1980. True story.

I'm stuck in the 70's still drive my 76 Silver T/A that is mint restored by me, but I did pull the 400 and built a low end torgue 455, got the Borg Warner rock crusher 4-speed with the Hurst shift but updated the car with 1981 interior, disk brake rear, 2nd gen Snow Flake wheels and new issue FIRESTONE WIDE OVAL meats, so it is original but what wouild have been called future dealership installed parts replacements or upgrades, excepting the 455 of course. Put on the Ram AIR 3 aluminum exhaust manifolds, 2 1/2" stainless steel exhaust, Hays trans scatter shield and 2 drive shaft loops for saftey. New rebuilt 160 mph full gauge cluster, Delco Remmy 8- track with the usual C D player mounted in the console map pocket, one of the rare cars ordered with the Silver Leaf TRANS AM decal installed on upper windshield interior. 600 miles on new engine. Going to sell thru broker on world wide market, we are asking a fair $62,000.00. No accident or rust history, super nice collector/ driver unit. The car is of course Silver. Send a buyer we pay a finders commisson. Live in Costa Rica now and this car is my final fairwell to my years of great cars. Car is located in Biloxi Ms. It's funny but my favorite car down here is my mint cond. 2006 Silver Nissan 350Z, another great sought after sports car, Central America is more Japanize cars than any other but we do have a lot of Dodge Trucks because the are tough enough to hold up here like we say down here "Never bring a Chevrolet to Central America" that brand is viewed as weak junk down here.

    Good Video with plenty of great photos
    Why don’t some car manufacturers build an old style muscle / concept car with the body of the 70s and the luxury and comforts of today. The problem with the Muscle cars are they Rust, Rough Suspension and Steering, and No Safety but if you incorporate today’s standards in a car the Suspension and Steering is much better and comfortable, Modern cars don’t seem to Rust and Air Bags everywhere so you blend the comforts with the old style like the 70s and they would sell. Today’s cars look boring and all very similar to each other but you take this video of concept cars and they look stylish classy hot and wanting.🙀🇦🇺
