Something else that hurt the musclecars were the new breed of superbikes that appeared in the '70s. These crotch rockets could easily humble any production musclecar with their 11-12 second 1/4 miles and still get good gas mileage doing it. The joke at the time was: "My 442 can pass anything on the road but a gas station or that little Kawasaki!".
@CJColvin11 ай бұрын
@larryjex6485 Only problem with those super bikes is that one you can't fit any passengers nor have any safety features as well and not to mention that they're unreliable as well.
@larryjex648511 ай бұрын
@CJColvin From a practicality standpoint, there's no question that a musclecar is a better choice than a superbike. That being said, nobody bought musclecars for practical reasons, they were sold to look cool and blow the doors off the other cars. In the '60s, they were the fastest thing on the planet, but all that changed in the '70s with the advent of the superbike, which looked cool, could carry your girlfriend, and could make mincemeat of those pesky Hemi Cuda's, which were lucky to pull a 13 on a good day. And in case you didn't already know, Honda's are about as reliable as a ball peen hammer and still do 50 mpg.

I have to thank One particular '71 Calypso Coral Torino GT for igniting my love for all classics, in the late 2000's and early 2010's It sat in a guys' yard, paint fading away, but It looked awesome even in that condition, I grew up noticing it while driving by. I think it has since been saved. I want to get my hands on one that I can restore myself. But they are not easy to find, maybe one day.

I actually rode in one of these all summer long, back when you could buy them for $1000. It was the 429 SCJ with the 3:91 and top loader . It ran 14.5 at the strip with semi slicks , which was a joke compared to his neighbors 1969 428 SCJ Mustang which ran 12.8 bone stock using the same slicks . The 429 just had no torque and by the time you got it going, it was 5 cars behind the 428 Mustangs . Those 428 SCJ engines were the best Ford ever produced , And Bulletproof "

I grew up in the back seat of my mom's `68 Torino Squire wagon with a 250 six. As a teen and younger man I had a a few `70 Torino GTs with 351 Clevelands. One was a rare silver color, one was green and another was maroon. My favorite though was a `71 grabber blue CJ Cobra with blacked out hood which was a TON of fun. She was my baby, but I sold it and bought a I had a `71 GT convertible with a 351c that got totaled while waiting at a light right after I gassed it up for the NY winter garage hibernation. It was really rare to see them so it got a lot of looks and questions. After the wreck I got out of cars or many years. Then in 2014 the Torino bug bit, and I scratched! I bought an original owner `68 Torino GT sportsroof sitting in a Manteca CA garage, covered with boxes. I did a ground-up resto on it, but over the past few years I modded it by swapping in a 468 BBF. I can't have enough torque, what can I say.

It turns out that second generation Cobra's do not come with a CJ as standard equipment. 70's come with the base 429 and 71's with a 351 Cleveland. Also, the sport mirrors are standard on the fancier GT, and an option on the Cobra.

The Torino was Ford’s Chevelle/Cutlass/Tempest/Skylark. It was right in that same size sweet spot. Large enough to be comfortable, smooth riding and take the wife and 2 kids on vacation, but small enough to be lighter, quicker, more nimble and sporty than the full sized cars of the era. My high school friend’s father had a ‘68 Cyclone with a 390 that was very different than the gutless ones we had in our Ford station wagons. Until he took me for a blast in that car, I thought all 390’s were boat anchors. Not true. The 390 in that Torino was a whole different animal. A few years later, I owned a 1972 Cutlass S.

Torino's an intermediate, not full sized and it's a '70 not '74 as introduced on the film.

This guy just annoys me, complaining about how they built the car 50 years ago. Look how he picks apart the dash. He makes it sound like the Mustang was not an adequate daily driver 50 years ago.

He nit picks like he is a know it all and could have done a better job than Ford.

I never said the Mustang wasn't adequate, what I said was the the Torino was more refined, which it is. As for the tach, can you honestly tell me where it's located is the best placement for what many consider a key informational gauge in a performance car?

@@drivebigmuscle8080 Ever consider its put there because of other dash requirements or maybe whats behind the dash taking up space making the decision to place it there? A lot goes into designing cars, cost time, manufacturing, profit, keeping prices low. It ain't just about putting something there just to be putting it there.
