There were rotary engines and Betamax players, what else can you think of, and will electric cars be next, lol?:devilish Mazda RX4 MotorWeek Porsche 944 Vs RX7 Betamax tape Betamax card

The Big Bird T-bird has the short rear deck, long hood proportions that are associated with muscle cars. Later Thunderbirds were too sedan like in shape. Put a blower and some Cragars on that large T-bird and it might make it. Swap the 460's cast iron take manifold for an aluminum unit and you...

Would you say the 7th gen T-Bird, was perhaps the biggest muscle car of all time?;) 1972-76 Thunderbird Just always had this thought seeing Jack Cassidy chasing Clint Eastwood in The Eiger Sanction (1975) movie, lol.:biggrin

Nice article with the late George Barris. I have always liked the car (the wide body and Mohawk bias belted rubber), but some might not, lol. Discuss!!:biggrin2 Feverish Urban Cowboy Bird!

In one interview Burt said when car movies were at their height, they did everything but have a car chase through the Vatican, lol! He certainly starred in a few classics.:bow Movie trailer Banditmobile

Looking at this comparison report with the BMW 325e and the Mercedes 190E, the little Caddy comes out not too bad. Even 30 years ago the German car buyer would never have considered a Caddy, regardless of how good it was. Originally conceived as a BMW 320i & Audi 4000 import fighter, on basic...

From the unusual side of the ledger I would add the Matador X 401 Coupe, and the Olds Rallye 350 insurance premium fighter! Matador X

The eventual wrecking of the Porsche 928 was priceless! Seeing the movie again made me realise how much that car looked like a squashed Pacer, lol! Risky Business On You Tube Porsche 928 AMC Pacer

Yes, Studebaker had some hot, and barely streetable, small block engine options for the Lark in the mid '60s. Studebaker people hoped and did some designs for a revised 1967 Lark, but the car business was sadly shut down before that could happen. Production finished in Canada I think.

It ain't domestic, but as the only street legal car capable of 12s and sub 5 second 0-60 mph in 1975, the Porsche 911 Turbo was quite something. Porsche 911

Not one of the best Bond flicks, but it had a great car chase.:cool: Matador Coupe in Bond Movie Matador X

Which ones would you select from the past and the present. Classic T/As had style, and the Chrysler SRT8 Core seems to represent modern muscle best.:cool: Firebird T/A

One really special gem is Used Cars (1980) starring Kurt Russell. Columbia made the mistake of releasing it too close to Flying High (Leslie Nielsen). Everyone went to see Flying High and overlooked Used Cars. The few people that did see it, like myself, loved it! Used Cars Trailer...

Kewl! :)

Needn't be a celebrity, but should be tasteful lol.;) Sofia Vergara Susan Coffey Hidemi Aoki

Maybe that should be Afternoon Delight, if anyone can remember that popular Starline Vocal band song? Lol. Cars from that time can get a bad wrap, but there were some worthwhile things from those days like GM's radial tuned suspension (RTS) and ESC ignition, and some interesting rides. What...

You have to feel sorry for the Sony Betamax, good concept but Sony didn't get the film companies to release movies on the format early enough.

Don't know if Wayne & Garth could work a VHS player, lol! Bohemian Rhapsody Garth's Mirthmobile

First season of Knight Rider is gold, especially the scene (episode 21. Nobody Does It Better) where K.I.T.T. is chased by an AMC Gremlin!

The demise of video rental seems to have encouraged people to build up a large collection of titles, but which ones do you particularly cherish? I enjoy the nostalgia angle of the fugly Vette in Corvette Summer.:D The Gumball Rally Seven Nights In Japan Hidemi Aoki

Poor Burt, to paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield, he doesn't get no respect.:D And this is probably why, lol. Stroker Ace, includes Lonnie Anderson (batteries sold separately)

I will never understand why this film never won an Academy Award.:D

I recently picked up a new DVD copy of Cannonball Run II (1983) in shrink wrap for $5, and it reminded me what a great light entertainment star 'ol Burt was. Maybe we should start honoring his films while he is still alive?:cool: Hooper (1978) Firebird 6.6 liter V8

Van Nuys also used to be a place where car customizing was busy in the '70s, remember the CGE (Carl Green Enterprises) AMC Pacer pickup truck? That came from Van Nuys. And of course there were a number of little supply companies that supported the customizers. They were industrious times. Now I...

Ha, ha, the only place I thought they were still using wood to make cars was the frame of the English handmade Morgan. Trust the Chinese to destroy the environment just that little bit more.:angel: At one time the GM F body Camaro/Firebird factory was located in Van Nuys. I am wondering what...
