This may sound harsh - but having lived through the underpowered "smog box" period, I just can't develop warm feelings for any American car built between 1974 to about 1979.

Even the late '70's Firebird my aunt gave me - I was so glad when it was demolished. I have 1975 Corvette cylinder heads (smog) - guess what they're worth? Nothing. A dark era in automobiling for a muscle car enthusiast like me. Sorry if I'm stepping on some folks fond memories :hick:

 i love 72 to 84(ford smog years) because i can do any modification to them  , it wont hurt there resale value plus in most cause's  i get to pick them up for real cheep.
remember it easier to fix them, than to find them after they been crushed.

V6 = juvenile delinquency!

Wow, it's nice to see all those mint cars with indoor lighting. Your car looks nice there - that must've been fun.

Actually, what ever happened to World of Wheels? They usually show up this time of year. Holy !! It's this weekend!! (I just checked).


Will you be attending? I wasn't too impressed by it last year. I mean it was alright, I expected to see a lot more. When I used to go as a kid with my father I remember it being larger, although I was a kid I  could have just thought it was huge.

...Says the guy that drives a late 80's sled that made all of 150 thundering horsepower stock :D

I love that '78 T-Bird. Yeah, I know it was a smogged out underpowered sled, but that'd be just as easy to rectify as, say, installing a supercharged 5.0 into an anniversary Cougar ;)

If I ever had a '78 T-Top 'Bird it'd have to be green with the gold trim and fake trunk buckles, though. If you're gonna go with 70's cheese, might as well go all the way...

Me too.  I was there every year when I was a kid growing up in the 70's, with my dad. The last time I went was mid-90's and it was about half the size it used to be.  Then the last couple years it has gotten bigger again.

I had a '76 Torino, too.
