I owned a 1972 302 v8, 4 barrel carb. Manual 3 speed (I thought they orginional came with a four speed). One of my favorite small block sport cars to drive. 1st gear up to 45 mph, 2nd gear up to 95 mph, and in 3rd gear it topped out at 135 mph. The car had the power to go faster, but not the gears in mine. You could not blow up that engine, best 302 I ever owned. I abused the engine. The only cons to the car was the engine was top front heavy to drive in snow - no counter steer, it would just plow and slide in the direction of the turn. Had to park it 4 months a year Heavy car also. My buddy ended up hitting a tree and we put it back together. I didn't know it had a bent frame and the first time I was driving over a hundred mph on a back road and I went up a quick hill slope the car shot over two lanes and I almost crashed the car in the other lane far ditch side. I bought it used in the early 90's and drove it for about 7 years. In those days I always had a couple of cars at the house. The Maverick was a fun toy. I like the Maverick more than the Camaro's. Camaro's could beat me off the line, but that high end 2nd gear caught me back up. I never like the Mustang, I prefered Chevy Chevelle and Pontiacs. Heavy metal cars with powerful engines fell different than modern cars. Terrible road course cars; they drifted too much at speeds over 75 - 110 mph. American cars were designed for drag racing not road courses. Now most people them to bracket race with. Average price now for a Grabber is 40 thousand dollars for a good V8. I paid five hundred dollars for mine in 1990 from my buddies dad.

Convoy was the first movie to use cb,radios in it for the movies 🍿🍿🍿🍿

This was my first car I bought with my first income tax return.

My first car was a 72 Charger My second was a 68

LOOOVED the AMC Kammback .-)

I worked in auto rental and thought the Pontiac lemans and Chevy Cavalier were a couple of pieces of junk.

i don't care what anyone says, MINVANS KICK ALL KINDS OF ASS! The space, car-like driving experience & getting through the snow. Kick these 'crossover SUV's' to the curb!

Peg leg 302s

I miss my '77 Type LT, but EVERYthing on that car broke. The quality by that point was just crap.

Lol hot car for the youth? Bwaaaa you literally know nothing. Must have been why most owners went to escort in 80. That a hot car too? Lol 1.9 do it for you as well?

Station wagon

If I were to describe the Chevy nova, I would only count that as a pony car in my imagination

I bought a used red 1987 Dodge Daytona Pacifica in college (1990). The car was absolutely loaded, leather, digital dashboard / power everything! Damn thing even talked, I felt like Knight Rider in it! I had some awesome times with that car. I don’t recall the video even mentioning that trim level. Well all I have left is one photo and some great memories. Now I have a 19 Scat Pack Charger and a 22 Durango R/T Hemi. All thanks to that first dance with a MOPAR.

I have a 1996, it's my second, this one I'll keep.

My favorite Automobile ❤❤

Oh yes had an old 77 LT Camaro turquoise green with a white vinyl top and 340 hp h.o. 305 cu. In. Motor put a shift kit in that thing bark tires going down n second and bout 75 going out side f overdrive get up bout 120 before the donut gasket blows,Ain't it!!

Olds Cutlass Calais 1979. Big huge V8 engine. It was a stealth hot rod. Good looking car, comfortable interior and a quiet, smooth ride.

Some of the cars back then were truly gorgeous.

Didn’t have a Daytona but had a Laser. It was a cool car for the era.

I love my 1969 xr7 convertible 😁

The scooter version was a glorified Yugo.

I took one one for a test drive. LOts of noise... inside. Not much of a thrill to drive. Handling was soft and lumpy, like ok spring rate but short travel with a bump at the end. Kinda' meh.

The 2.2T lotus head(224hp) Daytona Shelby Z and the XRT4i my two dream cars of the 80s

That's how they kept the prices high and the public under their thumb. I owned a 1974 "GRAND PRIX." I got about 9 or 10 miles per gallon.

My mom’s F-85, bought for her by my dad, was truly one of her worst cars ever. The gas pedal would get stuck and she would have to continually slam on the brakes to stop it.

I had a 1975 Maverick Grabber, Black on orange. Bought it in 1979 with less than 30,000 miles on it. That thing would fly...302/3 on the floor. I put some dual exhausts with glass pack mufflers on it. Looked, sounded, ran and drove great. Wish I could get it back. I sold it with 120,000 miles on it in 1983.

The 80s was really kind of disgusting. Young kids graduating college expected a 6 figure salary and BMW the first time out. They didn't want to work for it. They thought that because they went to college, it was just a given. GREED was everywhere ! Even in the movies ! Yuppies, were those who wanted to appear wealthy but really weren't . They were sometimes NEW money and were obnoxious about always trying to show everyone how much they had. Good times !

the worst car gm ever made and why I stopped buying GM and switched to Toyota years ago. GM still SUCKS today.

‘Mach it to me’ that’s great. I don’t remember that one as a kid.

My family had AMC products though out the 60’s and 70’s a 63 Ambassador 327 4 barrel, 70 Ambassador SST Wagon 360 2 Barrel, I personally had a 68 Javelin SST 343 4 barrel 4 speed and a 73 Javelin 360 4 barrel Auto (still lives) my brother had a 74 Javelin 304 and there were a 61 Classic Wagon as well as a 77 Pacer DPL 258 2 barrel. All were dependable great cars. The Javelins and the Ambassadors were extremely quick for the day.

The 55-57 Chevys seem to be everyone's favorite, but I love some of less familiar beauties that you showed!

True. Comparatively speaking. Cars today are boring. They most usually get you to where you're going without any muss, fuss, or drama. And if you have a mishap, you are more likely than not, to walk away from the accident. Unlike the the older cars which were a bit like playing russian roulette. Boring isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I like the Ford Galaxy 1959 and Studebaker Silver Hawk,my late father owned both

Still riding around in my 1980 oldsmobile, delta 88 royal brougham 2 door coupe. Added a rebuilt 307 5.0L engine and rebuilt transmission and has the super stock wheels.

2014 Ford Focus with Natural Aspirated engine is more powerful than this Daytona, Horse Power and Torque. This Daytona was nothing to get excited over.

I’m fairly certain that the good people at Motor Trend had a yearly party…got really REALLY drunk and threw darts at pictures of cars on the wall. Whichever one they managed to hit was “Car of the Year”. 🍺 🎯 😜 🚗 👀

I own a darn near MINT ‘77 Black and Gold Trans-Am,but I always liked the “Road Runner”. I never really cared about speed too much…I just thought they looked COOL! 🚗 👀

Look at the grill on a 1976 Monte Carlo?

“Pony” cars….. The AMX was a cool car.

They ride the same as a Lincoln,like being on a cloud.

Think of the efforts redesigning , retooling and the anticipation every fall of the new years designs. Post war prosperity never to repeat.

Lol, this was my first car!! I loved it. Black with gold trim, black leather seats, t-tops, 5 speed. I could cherp the tires in third gear. The only thing missing was rear wheel drive.

I owned a 1986 Daytona Turbo-Z with automatic transmission and loved it. My son took it off to ccllege where my son and daughter shared the ride. So;ld it to a work colleague who trashed it.

When I got out of the army in 74, I found a SS350/ 4-speed on Selman Chevrolets lot that was ordered by the dealer's son, then quickly taken away from due to speeding tickets. It had 1900 miles on it when I got it. I did not realize what I had then. Catalina Blue Black Stripes with white bucket seats. Very rare Factory Headers. Beautiful car with the factory 5 spoke steel wheels with beauty rings.

Great video of beautiful cars. Thanks for posting.

My favorites were the 73 Z-28 and the 77 Z-28 and the 81 Z- 28 . Almost bought a 77 Z-28 but my leave from the military was cut short . JSC

1964 was my favorite, actually all of the first generation, followed by the '66 and '67.

AND FAST!!!!

TIME TO DRIVE BEAUTIFUL CARS AND TRUCKS AGAIN!!!!

THANK YOU SO MJCH!!!!
