The Blues Brothers cop car and Jag were the first two thoughts I had.

I'd love one of these, minus the striping:

Many of the cars I once considered 70's are actually late 60's, so they don't count.

The Impala from Dirty Marry, Crazy Larry nearly upstages the more famous Charger. Although I think its a 66. Oops.

4 doors from the 70s can never be more bad ass than this.

Geeze man. Make it a four door Ford and I think you would have an aneurysm.

I just thought of something, the LTD in white lightning. Both four door and Ford. I like that car.

I know I would.

I'm with nicksta. I think all 4 doors should be scrapped.

Word. My '78 rocked, though I don't miss it yet.

The 4-door sedan is my second-favorite variant of the 99. Strangely, all of mine have been 2-doors which I think look totally awkward. 5-door is the ultimate.

I traded a TR4 for one of these years ago when I was in college (I know, crazy), but I liked it. Except when I had to change front rotors. They're inboard and real PITA to change when all I had at the time was a flat blade screw driver and an adjustable wrench!

The good for a college kid; the headrests pulled off and the seats folded flat to the rears to make a bed.

Wow! I had a 71, same color. Didn't have the Crager SS rims though. Had super stiff Gabrial Striders, BFG Radials and ½ ton springs to replace the mono leaf. Had a 307 V8 2 barrel which was a dog. Do not miss, but cool looking at this one.

Some of us work very hard to forget that hideous creature ever existed.

I've always had a thing about Delta 88's and 98's. This is what I would like to drive from Chicago to Florida in.
