You can tell how old I am: I saw that at a drive-in theater back in '77 - well, I saw most of it.

Ha, ha I saw the Jerry Reed film "Hotstuff" (I think that's what it was called) on a plane trip, must have been 1979/80. I was so sad when his blue Firebird Formula was blown up.

The legend. :

Burt, a man & his hat.

Any fans of these old car chase movies? They are quite dated today but still have some funny lines, especially from Sheriff Buford T. Justice. :) "She insulted my town, she insulyed my son...nuthin' but but pure and simple, plain old fashion communism!" "Happens everytime one of them ...

Yeah, Pole Position suited the non self centering joystick of the 5200 console, the screenshot above is from the 7800 console though. :

What racing games, arcade & console, would you say were the great games prior to Gran Turismo? Pole Position and Bump N' Jump are pretty legendary. :D http://www.atariage.com/7800/screenshots/s_PolePosition_1.png http://www.atariage.com/7800/screenshots/s_PolePosition_2.png Bump N' Jump http://w...

That's sad how the car got wrecked. :( In those days there were so many trim, paint, sports options you got some unusual cars. :D Yes, the long hood and short rear deck didn't make them much of a grocery getter. Fun, but impractical, most of those cars had really tiny trunks, even with a space saver...

The 1973 shape is pretty good looking. I think it's worth less in collector value than the earlier years so it's a real bargain. :

A 1973 Mach 1 351 was the star in the original 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds movie. Last of the original 1964-73 Mustangs. :

The Dodge Demon of the early 70s, which had a funny cartoon devil decal with pitchfork. :D And the comparatively saintly Mustang Stallion package. ;) http://files.conceptcarz.com/img/Dodge/71_Dodge_Demon_DV_05_Cleveland_01.jpg http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/timeline/74-78/76/1976Stallion.jpg

The original 2 seater AMX was somewhere between being a pony car like the Mustang, Camaro and in some ways competed with the 2 seater Corvette. http://www.musclecarnationals.com/gallery/amx/68amx121.jpg The 1970-81 Camaro's & Firebirds had that swoopy, racy styling. :cool : http://www.nastyz28.c...

The Studebaker Avanti with blown V8 was very nice too. http://pages.xtn.net/~6cabbage/images/x/avanti_r2.jpg Nothing like the C3 Corvette, still turns heads on the street. :cool : http://ncarboni.home.att.net/images/82CE_AtAFC_Small.jpg I love this advert. :D http://www.cogulus.com/archive/charger/c...

Some nice Fords. :

64' Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt 427


70' Mercury Cyclone


71' Maverick Grabber 302

More big displacement!

Chevelle SS 454

455 GTO

AMC Rebel "Machine"

Livin large. :

Yeah, that's the one. I think I would have to win the lottery to get one of those.

401-XR Gremlin

455 HO Grand Prix

Anyone here have a classic car they admire from the old days? I have always liked the Boss Mustang, and there was that cool Shelby Mustang in Gone in 60 Seconds. :


Boss 302 (1971 prototype)

Firebird

Dart 340
