I remember all the cool musclecars that were around during the '70's. They were just used cars then. Neighbor up the street had a bright red '67 Grand Prix 428 convertible. The son would do 100 ft burn outs in it down the other end of the street. Cops didn't seem to be around as much back then. His own '64 Tempest wasn't tagged. A buddy of his would come around in a '70 Z-28 blue with black stripes an do burnouts. A young family living in the trailer park across the tracks had a black with red interior '66 GTO hardtop. One of my best friends dad had a '70 Plymouth Fury GT 440. The guy was 60 years old then and still kickin around right now at 90 something. But he doesn't have the Plymouth anymore. We had a red '70 Impala 4dr with a 454 in it.

This was probably my favorite thing about growing up in the late 1960's-1970's. Even when I was a kid, I could identify most all of the cars going down the road back then,and the year of the car, from about 1955-1977 model years. May be why I am still intrigued by them today. I service vehicles for a living, yet could not tell you what most of this newer stuff is (or what year, or in some cases what decade it was made in-(and don't care) unless I read the emblem or nameplate on it.
