I had a '76, too... last year before they went to the square headlights. Loved that car, was crazy fast. Mine caught on fire after parking it in a grass parking lot... exhaust was too hot I guess.

Miss that car...

Jim_Gunn · 04-12-2013, 10:59 PM

My first car ever was a '77 Firebird in high school. I purchased a '96 Ram Air WS-6 Trans Am brand new when I lived in NJ with a 5.7 litre engine, T-tops, 17" wheels, sport tuned suspension, functional hood scoop and loaded with nearly every other option. I had a lot of fun cruising the Jersey shore and strip club scenes back in the day in that car for only $28k at the time! I bet these new special Hurst TA's cost way more than that!

ottopottomouse · 04-13-2013, 05:45 AM

Looks like a messed up Camaro.

Best-In-BC · 04-13-2013, 05:49 AM

Yep, It Started WIth THe Mustang, Then Chev copied it to make the Camero and now they took the Camero and put a bird on the hood and some t tops, jess.

hah, yah, a fat guy and a bald dude pitching a trans am in a shitty youtube vid with 4-5 mainstream songs playing.

i hope their production values in the garage are much better than their video production's, especially with those t-tops!

Robbie · 04-13-2013, 08:26 AM

Boy, when I was in highschool the movie "Smokey And The Bandit" was out. And there was a guy in town who went and got a black Trans Am just like the one Burt Reynolds had in the movie...he was King of the town for a few years with that car. lol

Yeah, but the Camaro was lame and the Trans Am was freaking cool.

It's very similar to the difference between a Capri and Mustang. One was cool, one was not.

I had two mid 1970 Camaros growing up. They were freaking boats!

Only the second generation Mercury Capri shared a chassis with the Ford Mustang from 1979-1986. Not the first generation or later models. Don't you guys ever check Wikipedia before arguing about easily verifiable facts, lol?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_Capri

Quote:

During this period, a version of the Ford Mustang was sold through Lincoln/Mercury dealers as the Mercury Capri, giving Mercury a pony car for the first time since the Mercury Cougar was upsized in 1974 to complement the Ford Thunderbird. The Capri was built on the Ford Fox platform, which was used for the Mustang from 1979 to 1993 with a design change in 1994. It was the only Mercury Capri generation with a V8 engine.

LOL...I wasn't saying EVERY one was...just that it "generally" was...
but, ya. 79-mid 90's was even when I was only paying attention, anyway! LOL!

...and I also shoulda used Cougar / Thunderbird as an additional example of shared platforms...thanks Rochard for the reminder! ;-)

Robbie · 04-13-2013, 10:21 PM

Those late 1970's and all the 1980's and 90's cars that were called "mustangs" were NOT Mustangs.

I owned a 1970 small block Mustang and 1972 Cleveland 351 with side pipes.
The box cars of the 80's and 90's that were branded as Mustangs weren't even close to the real deal.

dyna mo · 04-13-2013, 10:21 PM

the cougar is the mercury version of the mustang.

Yep, those are the ugly ass things. Ugh.

Here is the real deal:

My dad had one of those. The one pictured is a 427.
He had a cobra jet 429 engine in his and that thing would literally lift off the ground when he punched it.

He and his buddies used to race around Lake Hollingsworth in Lakeland, Fla for pink slips back in the early 1970's. He never lost with that car.

that's because the older cars had more curves and better looks.

Here in the U.S. they started putting a ton of regulations (thank you Federal govt.) to make us all "safer".

Starting around 1973/1974 they set a standard of height for a car from the ground. That INSTANTLY fucked up a ton of small European sports cars here in the U.S.
That same year they also instituted new bumper regulations which instantly killed all the beautiful chrome bumpers.
Most European sports car manufacturers put ugly big black rubber bumpers on their U.S. exports and kept the beautiful low-to-the-ground chrome bumpered cars selling in the rest of the world.

And of course the federal govt. regulated catalytic converters and emissions controls which then de-powered all the cars.

So the car manufacturers started trying to compensate by making the cars more aerodynamic to offset the loss of handling (height raised) and loss of power (emissions controls). And we ended up with all those butt-ugly box and wedge cars of the 1980's.

But now technology has FINALLY gotten up to "speed" (pun intended) and they can most definitely make cars with modern day fuel injection, low emissions, and meeting the height requirement and still have sharp handling (though never as intuitive to me as a low slung MG sitting a few inches off the ground with no power steering and a "primitive" spring suspension).

So they are now making the cars look more beautiful again and going back to the classic designs that most all car aficionados agree are the most beautiful, stylish, and aggressive looking.

I like it! I've seen some of the newer mustangs that made me look twice to see if it was really a "modern" one or just a refurbished old Mach 1 Mustang.

mineistaken · 04-14-2013, 04:19 PM

I agree that old timers had best looks, what I am saying is that it looks "fake" to design "oldtimer" style car in current times. For instance cadilac has cars that people like and their design is up to date.
What I mean is every style has its own years, baroque was nice style but it would be lame to build baroque style buildings in this time.
Tacky or kitsch are the words in these kind of situations.

i agree with you. i liked the previous gen camaro bodystyle a lot. the thing is though, the mustang and challenger had not been in production for a while, they reintroduced those cars by paying homage to the original designs. it has seemed to work as ford is milking this current gen mustang for all its worth for several years now.
