No matter what brand you are loyal to you gotta admit that Mopar really understood the young testosterone crowd with their cars and advertising campaigns. That concept Cuda had _everything_ about 1970 down. The wheels, the slicks, the sidepipes, the rake, the painted scallops, the shaker hood... It really was Hot Wheels all grown up. It would have sold like _mad_ if it could have been made affordable enough. The taillights on that Ford Mirano made a lot of sense. What a great safety feature that really telegraphed what driver was doing to following traffic. Way, way ahead of its time.

In my opinion the Cuda was too rounded and bubbely as far as the sheetmetel went, the interior had real cheap and boring door panels etc, the other E body the MIGHTY DODGE CHALLENGER had great sharp body lines, more curb apeal and one of the best door panel and seats combos ever, the Challenger was the hottest looking of both Divisions, just look at the grill and tail lights on the 1971 Challenger no other manufactuer ever came close to that futureistic design.

Yes, they did. 69 in 1969 only, to be exact, and I believe a few made it into Corvettes that year as well. RPO ZL1 had the COPO 9561 427 CID aluminum engine. I’ve seen 1 of the 2 garnet red Camaros. My brother restored it for a collector on the east coast back in the ‘90s. At the time, there was only 1 garnet red car believed to be produced which was in the Floyd Garrett collection. Upon making his way thru layers of repaints and verifying the paint code, my brother uncovered the 2nd known garnet red COPO 9561 ZL1 Camaro. It was part of the Dick Bridges collection and featured in one of the muscle magazines of the times. An incredible unexpected find!

My ex father in law had an emerald green '69 ZL1 collecting dust in his garage in El Cajon, a suburb of San Diego. He moved to SD from N Hollywood due to health issues. He told me that the car used 4 tanks of gas which was hard to believe as it's only 125 miles. He passed away back in 2008 and his widow sold the car along with his professional tools for about $100k. It was a very easy resto.. just needed freshening up. Can only imagine what it's worth today..

Looked great too. I modified the gauges and used them as working gauges in my Chevy Van for a few years before switching them out and putting them up in a box for later.

U R SO RIGHT, Bean counters running the show. Same went for Plymouth, Chrysler, Dodge. The Ram Charges designed and raced, the Scat Pack Studio made em sell (always look for the little Rumble Bee decale on the quarter glass) Dodge was my favorite but they got to expensive to find so I went back to next favorite, Poniiac where you could find good T/A s cheap until just a few years ago. Seems the old Vetts still havent gone up in price, if you even want one. Killing Pontiac was a fatal mistake for G M! Chevys were popular affordable cars as they were intended to be, Buick was legendary even Grand ma's Wildcat was beast like the Riveara but Pontiac ruled the G M corp. Except of course the Corvett which had some pathetic generations just like the Mustang did,.

The story behind the king Cobra is interesting. After Mopar debuted the winged warriors in nascar Ford and GM knew they had to do something to compete. Ford decided if you can't beat them then join them and developed the king Cobra. But at GM they took a different path and since the nascar was mainly run by former GM guys they pressured them to make aero cars illegal. It's things like that that makes me hate nascar and GM not to mention their cars are rolling scrap piles

Those taillight features based off Ford Milano changing color to green to signify the car accelerating...is truly a masterpiece design. Wish some performance muscle car took notes and adopted this fantastic feature! 😎

Think maybe the NTSB might have had something to do with quashing taillights that could operate like that? Me thinks maybe so 😅

You are correct. AMC proposed that exact design to the Feds around 1968 and they said no way Jay. @@walcoman

Some really cool designs! As far as concept cars fleshing out as production vehicles: It seemed Dodge started a trend of "concept as production precursor" after their Viper was put in production nearly identical to the concept, which brought A LOT of visibility to the brand.

The craziest thing is that most cars actually looked at least relatively close to their concepts back then.. Now none of that happens.

I can tell you where one of the ZL-1 Camaros resides. How many were made? No idea. One day I was cruising South Park in the south end of Pittsburgh, Pa. I noticed a silver 1969 Camaro that was a little bit "different" from other Camaros. This one had dog dish hubcaps, gray steel wheels, black interior and a 4 speed. The guy was parked by the ice skating rink there and I went over to the car. The emblems on the front fender said '427' and I was asking him about the car. He got around to opening the hood and there it was. The all-aluminum, big block 427 engine. It idled like it had a timing problem. He said that's the cam that makes it sound like that. Didn't know that much about cars back then. I was 18 at the time which would have been the year 1980. True story.

There's been an effort to bring a fiberglass reproduction AMX/3 into reality. Last I heard they were at the point of getting a transaxle adapted to fit the AMC block.

IMHO...The Best Looking AMC car they made was the AMX..69 -70..it didn't have or need the flared fenders. Oh to go back in time with an armor truck full of gold...buy some of them classics before they even got 10 miles put on them...and bring them back to...me...I mean, to 2023 and the world...yeah...sure...why not? :D (Y)
