This and the 76 Starsky and Hutch I had until 2003 were my favorites. I grew up watching the TV show S&H and always loved the car. Then Smokey and the Bandit came out and I really loved the Trans Am. But I'm a huge fan of muscle cars and if I ever hit the lottery...
Ive never liked the mid to late 70s cars...blah styling, and blah performance. My dad had a 79 T-bird Diamond Jubliee Edition (only 14,000 made). It had a single exhaust, with a 351 Cleveland---it looked like a pimp mobile...due to the oil crisis, they stifled most of the cars performance that came out. Even the TA with it's big ass 455 (I think it was)---it still didn't have the go to match the show. besides I never liked that bodystyle---my mom had a first gen Firebird, it was gorgeous.
The only old cars from that era that I like are the MGs, 911, e21 3 series...generally the small displacement cars, as they were not that much affected by the oil crisis like the big displacement cars were.
