That's a sexy car, Bob.
I guess I already have a 70's car in my garage, huh? |

Not exactly in the theme of the '70s gas crisis, but this is what I learned to drive in and would rock another one in a heart beat. Purchased in 1973, it was the first new car my parents ever owned.
AMC Javelin

 . If I remember right some of them had V.W. engine . We had a '90 FESTIVA with 3 speed auto and a '93 with a 5 speed manual . These were actually a MAZDA 121 ( 1.3 ltr. engine ) produced in MEXICO . Great little cars , the 1.3 ltr. can take serious punsihment . Seen it in person , felt pity for that '88 FESTIVA  , still managed to make it to 150,000 + miles , amazing  .  to the 1.3 .

There are some people here who would have gone bankrupt during the fuel crisis with their picks

due to '79 > '80 winter had to get a loan to pay the oil bill , took quite a while to pay it off . Drove an automatic DODGE Dart with slant 6 at that time . Did quite well in the snow for a rear wheel drive . Fun car to drive . Wasn't very good about maintaining a car or practiced good driving habits in those days
. Life is a learning process .

I'd buy a Mazda Rx3 with the rotary engine. A gas guzzling fun machine. I'd romp the gas and redline it every chance I got just to make all the gas misers angry, muahahahaha!!

My first vehicle was a 1978 chevy stepside pickup with a shortbed.
It had a 383 stroker motor with a posi rearend. My parents hated it. I wish I still had that truck it was the most dangerous thing I've ever owned lol. |

1975 Chevy Nova. Straight six, THD 350. You could get decent mileage and the car was almost bulletproof. Properly tuned they ran great. Remove some of the Emissions Control crapola and they ran even better - yeah it was illegal, so were other things.
I owned one in the 1980s and early 1990s. With a working catalytic perverter. Wish that I still had it for Megasquirt purposes. Been great with that straight six, a THD 200R4 and some other goodies. Gene |
