OLD CAR MEMORIES
1970-1976 Plymouth Duster – Ultimate 1970s & 1980s High School & College Car. March 4, 2021 March 3, 2021. Pete Dunton. Back in 1970s and 1980s one of the more popular cars found in high school and college parking lots was the 1970-1976 Plymouth Duster. Other popular cars found there were the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang, VolkswagenBeetle
1973-1980 CHEVROLET L-82 (L82) 350 CID V8 There’s no doubt the Corvette, even though a 2-seat sports car, was one of the meanest muscle cars on American streets during the 1960s. The high-revving small-block Chevrolet 327 CID V8 along with the monster big-block 427 CID V8 solidified the Corvette’s performance reputation during that time. Unfortunately everything changed in the 1970s, Chevrolet’s big-block 1969-1970 RAM AIR III 400 The Ram Air IV’s output was also underrated, it was factory rated at 345 horsepower and 430 lb-ft torque when found in the 1969 Firebird and 1969-1970 Trans Am. It also had a factory rating of 370 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque when found in the 1969-1970 GTO and the 1969-1970 GTO Judge. The Ram Air IV’s true horsepower output was a 1993 CHEVROLET CAMARO Z28 The performance gap was so wide between the two for 1993 that even Mustang fans had to admit defeat. In fact performance was so good for 1993 for the Camaro Z28 that it’s 275 horsepower rating was the highest for a Camaro since 1971. It had taken 22 years but the Camaro Z28 was back to its original muscle car era power ratings. 1969 FORD MUSTANG MACH 1 428 CJ/SCJ The 428 CJ and 428 SCJ were the Mach 1’s best performance engine options. The 428 CJ and 428 SCJ were both rated at 335 horsepower which was a wink-wink – “yeah right” horsepower rating. True output for both engines touched 400 horsepower at the very least. The CJ was an engine option, the SCJ the upgraded version of the 428 CJwas what
1980-1981 PONTIAC TRANS AM TURBO 4.9L V8 1980-1981 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo 4.9L V8 – It’s Better Than You Think. The Trans Am made a name for itself with its large displacement 400 and 455 cubic-inch V8s in the 1970s. When the last of these engines, the W72 400 V8, made its last stand for the 1979 model year, it wasn’t just a retirement party for the large displacement TransAm
1966 FORD MUSTERO
Only 50 Musteros were produced for 1966. The Mustero added a hefty $6,500 to the Mustang’s price which brought the total base delivery price to a little over $9,000, as a comparison that was over $2,000 more than a 1966 Lamborghini Miura. The Mustero is the perfect Mustang for any collector who likes to walk to the beat of a differentdrummer.

It is easy to overlook this type of general maintenance. 1982 & 1984 (L83) 5.7 LITER CROSS-FIRE INJECTION V8 For 1982 and 1984, the 5.7 liter (350 CID) Cross-Fire Fuel Injection V8 was the only motor found under the hood of the Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet would give this engine the RPO code of L83.

The 1970 Maverick was a very successful car with an amazing 578,914 units produced for that model year which was a little more than double of the total production of Ford’s popular 1970 Mustang. The figures for the 1970 Maverick are especially impressive when you consider the Maverick only came in a two-door body style. 1962-1965 CHEVROLET FUEL INJECTED 327 V8 Chevrolet was an innovator when it pertained to fuel injection. It wasn’t the first automaker to offer it in a performance car, that honor goes to Mercedes Benz which first released the fuel injected 300 SL for the 1955 model year. However Chevrolet was pretty close, it offered fuel injection on its small-block 283 cubic-inchTHUNDER ROAD
Thunder Road – the First Muscle Car Movie. Long before the drug war, there was another war in American, which raged in the South. It was the backwoods liquor war. Backwoods liquor sometimes called moonshine or white lightening was distilled in rural areas of the South usually at night. The center of this activity was in Appalachian country. CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS PERFORMANCE TIMES The 1970-1971 Monte Carlo SS provided plenty of punch with a LS5 454 CID V8 (rated at 360 horsepower for 1970 and 365 horsepower for 1971) – dual exhausts were standard on the SS. Performance did return to the Monte Carlo for 1980 and 1981 in the form of Buick’s turbo 3.8 liter V6. The turbo Monte Carlo was by a long shot much faster than 1983-1988 CHEVROLET L69 5.0 LITER (305 CID) H.O. V8 The 145 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque LG4 4-bbl 5.0 liter V8 was used in many of GM’s 1982 cars. Even the 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 and 1982 Pontiac Trans Am (GM’s performance F-bodies) used the LG4 as their standard engine. And it was 1982 that marked the first year the 305 became a performance engine.

Chevrolet kept the “396” moniker instead of changing it to correct “402”. 1969-1970 RAM AIR III 400 The Ram Air IV’s output was also underrated, it was factory rated at 345 horsepower and 430 lb-ft torque when found in the 1969 Firebird and 1969-1970 Trans Am. It also had a factory rating of 370 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque when found in the 1969-1970 GTO and the 1969-1970 GTO Judge.

The high-revving small-block Chevrolet 327 CID V8 along with the monster big-block 427 CID V8 solidified the Corvette’s performance reputation during that time. Unfortunately everything changed in the 1970s, Chevrolet’s big-block 1962-1965 CHEVROLET FUEL INJECTED 327 V8 Chevrolet was an innovator when it pertained to fuel injection. It wasn’t the first automaker to offer it in a performance car, that honor goes to Mercedes Benz which first released the fuel injected 300 SL for the 1955 model year.

When the last of these engines, the W72 400 V8, made its last stand for the 1979 model year, it wasn’t just a retirement party for the large displacement TransAm
1967-1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO Great styling was the hallmark of the 1967-1969 Camaro, which was Chevrolet’s competitor to the very popular Ford Mustang.

It is easy to overlook this type of general maintenance. 5 1980S CARS THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN CANCELLED There was probably no decade in the U.S. in which cars underwent such a radical transformation than the 1980s decade. Most American cars during the 1980s shrunk in overall size, encountered massive engine displacement downsizing, and a transformation from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive. Also many good and popular car models went the wayof

The W72 400 CID V8 equipped 1979 Pontiac Trans Am was as good as it got, though rated by Pontiac at 220 SAE net horsepower (320 lb-ft of torque), NHRA rated it in stock form at the more realistic 260horsepower.
1970 FORD MAVERICK
The 1970 Maverick was a very successful car with an amazing 578,914 units produced for that model year which was a little more than double of the total production of Ford’s popular 1970 Mustang. The figures for the 1970 Maverick are especially impressive when you consider the Maverick only came in a two-door body style. CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS PERFORMANCE TIMES The 1970-1971 Monte Carlo SS provided plenty of punch with a LS5 454 CID V8 (rated at 360 horsepower for 1970 and 365 horsepower for 1971) – dual exhausts were standard on the SS. Performance did return to the Monte Carlo for 1980 and 1981 in the form of Buick’s turbo 3.8 liter V6. The turbo Monte Carlo was by a long shot much faster than WHY THE 1970-1981 PONTIAC TRANS AM IS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL A total of 374,233 Trans Ams were produced during the 1970s decade. If you include the last 2 model years of the second generation Trans Am, 1980 and 1981, 458,462 second generation Trans Ams were produced. That’s almost a half of million Trans Ams. The 1960s decade was a golden era for cars, fun cars like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet 1982-1993 MUSTANG GT There’s no doubt that the best attribute of the 1982-1993 Mustang GT was its 5.0 liter (302 cubic-inch) H.O. V8 which generated between 157-225 horsepower depending on the model year. It was the Mustang GT’s very low curb weight in the low 3,000-lb neighborhood accompanied by the powerful 5.0 liter H.O.

Unfortunately high insurance costs and legislative action were catching up with the muscle 1993 FORD MUSTANG COBRA With the R, Ford managed to shed close to 200 lbs off the Cobra dropping the weight to a mere 3,089 lbs.

There’s no denying the the 1993 Mustang Cobra was 1965 SHELBY AC COBRA 289 The 1965 289 Cobra was the last year for the Mark II platform. In a lot of respects it was a more balanced car than the heavier 427 Cobra which had the large Ford FE big-block 427 V8 under the hood. The 289 Cobra was small in stature with a length of only 151.5 inches, a width of 61 inches, and a height of 49 inches.OLD CAR MEMORIES
