Indeed all these models have Legend status, how cool is it you had a Supra, a great car, was it manual? A new addition to your list is the Lexus LFA, HAGWE
That 70s Car
If a Picture Could say a Thousand Words Two Pictures can fill a Book Girls + InDebtButOnTime ...
Looks like my old neighborhood! . . .
. . . how can you beat a '74 Trans-Am for '70s nostalgia?
If I had neighbors like that I'd be one lucky guy :-))
what do you think of the paint job on the Trans-Am?
'70 454 Chevelle SS? . . .
. . . wish I still had the Car & Driver issue from 1970 comparing the Mustang Mach 1 and Chevelle SS to a '65 289 Cobra.
The last two legit muscle cars (other than the three verified . . .
. . . '72 Dodge/Plymouth 440 Six-Paks) were the '71 Mustang Mach 1 (high-compression 351 Cleveland) and '73 - '74 Pontiac 455 HD Pontiac Trans-Ams. (There were a few 455 HD Grand-Ams, too.). All the others were gone after '71, many after '70. The Trans-Am...
Here's one more I'd completely forgotten . . .
. . . about, the '71 Mustang Mach 1 . . . . . . 429 Super Cobra Jet. So rare that I don't recall ever seeing one even back in the day. 375 hp thru a Ford 4-speed into 4:11 gears. 😓 ...
To paraphrase a well-known watch manufacturer, you never really own . . .
. . . a biological machine. 😉
I went to grad school in the ‘70’s in LA
In my memory all women looked roughly like these two girls … At a USC party I heard a guy complaining that USC girls wore bras but the girls at UCLA didn’t … a USC coed retorted “they don’t wear bras because they don’t need them; they don’t have enough to...
Fabulous times ...
.. we will never see again :-(. This is one cool picture my friend. Bim
Such a cool shot 👌🏻😋
At first glance I thought there was a Citroen SM in the background (in my defense the pic is a bit blurry that far out). That would have made it even cooler 😉
Yes. In Toyota-speak a TE-27. Enthusiasts nicknamed that particular model Mango. Corollas had been using 1200cc engines but in 72 (maybe 71 1/2?) Toyota offered an optional
2-TC 1600cc motor which I opted for. Oddly it was OHV. Iron block, aluminum cross flow hemi head. It red lined at 6000 rpm and was happy to go there. The 4sp transmission shifted like butter and had fantastic synchros. Top speed was just a tick over 100mp...
Yes my MKIV twin turbo had the Getrag 6 speed. And the LFA is certainly another grail car from Toyota. Have you ever heard one in person? That F1 derived
Yamaha V-10 makes some of the sweetest automotive music I've ever heard on its way to 9000 rpm! Winning lotto ticket required for that one also. ;-)
