Please excuse this bit of fun as I finish the current Car Tale... and provide a brief look at the next... The 3rd gen Pontiac Firebird. Oh, and yes there will be some due respect to a childhood favorite... Knight Rider Oh and for those that were a bit bummed by the reduced amount of cultural references in recent Car Tales... take heart, they will return. And HUGE thanks to @SYNTHONY for the ama...

    The Pinto was unfairly maligned. It was no more apt to go afire in rear collisions than most cars of the day, and that infamous “memo” wasn’t what Mother Jones said it was.

    At the time, performance enthusiasts reviled the mustang ii. It wasn’t fast. Couldn’t get out of its own way, if the truth be told. But it was an appealing car anyway. Ford sold a ton of them! In time, they shoehorned a V8 into it and things started getting better. But remember this. The Mustang has always been on the chopping block. The Probe was nearly a mustang. So, the mustang ii, gave the mustang at least a chance to become something better. And the front ends are very popular to build race cars with.

    I had a '74 Mustang II coupe that was set up for drag racing, massive drag radials on the back originally it had a HiPo 289 with an aftermarket forged crank and a 4 speed toploader transmission. I still have an apparently ultra rare Mustang II Cobra II white with the dark red LeMans stripes.

    The 71-73 Mustang was a bloated shell of its former glorious self. I'm glad Ioccoca had it redesigned to bring it back to its roots. The Mustang II looked great but the Malise Era engines let it down. I'd love one with the 2.3 Liter Turbo that was used in the 80s.

    • @RollingRigTraction
      @RollingRigTraction 3 дня назад

      The 71-73 are likely my favorite at least the Fastback and the Boss 351. Otherwise it's the 65-66 Fastback and the '85-86 Fox Notchback 5.0l.

    GM built this T body car all over the world and it had quite a long run. It was kind of a latecomer to North America. I always thought they were not a bad little car and knew several folks who had them and drove them for years without any real issues if they kept up with normal maintenance. They were certainly much better in that respect than the Chevy Vega.

    We had a 78 tbird. It was customized by the dealer valley motorrs in Hunt valley MD. The gawdawful rear window was filled with a white vinyl top. It had T tops and real wire wheels. It was a beautiful car. It didn't last very long. The transmission went at 88k and we got rid of it. A lady came to our door one day and gave me her number one day begging us to call if we ever were to sell. We sold it to her for 500$. She totally redid it even better than it was. Im sure she still has it if she is still alive. It was dark blue with a white top. Wish we kept it and did what she did.

      My cousin's wife had a square bird. It may not have looked as good but it drove better, was a lot faster. We had the 6 she had the V8 and hers was really really nice inside. Ours was just plain old vinyl and the dash had NO gauges just speedo and fuel.

    Never liked the 87 gt tail lights. My next door neighbor was a sales mgr at plaza Ford in MD. That lucky guy got several saleen's to drive as one of his perks. What a car! It was very hard for me to believe that was the same engine and transmission as the regular gt. Drove like it had Velcro tires

    I was gifted an 87 trofeo in blue with blue leather. I temporarily put my current license plate on it and brought it to my house and parked it in MY spot that I paid for. I took a shower and the car had been towed away by an overzealous tow truck driver who is presently or soon to be residing in hell. I had such hopes for that car. It was sooo cool. It had the talking dash, needed work but was cosmetically vg. They wanted 380 to get it out. I had no money to get it. Very very 😭
