1973 to 1985 Carburated Vehicles
Emissions laden vehicles, but still simple enough to work on and we still love 'em!

My first truck was a 1978 GMC with a 350 that I bored out to a 383 and had some othe rmods. Man talk about simple and easy to work on. Plus the power it had was not shabby with 35's! I would take it back in a minute even with 5 mpg. Still have my grandpa's truck with a 396 not stock and lights up the 35's no problem. Only thing I do not miss about them is gas mileage. Everything else I would kill for to bring back some metal to vehicles.

My, there's so many cars for yesterday that are much more memorable than 3/4's of todays; makes it hard to know where to start. Many of you have already mentioned some excellent cars.

Some of my favorites are:

1970 Buick GSX w/ stage1
1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator
1967-69 Chevy pick-up
1967-69 Pontiac Firebird
1967 Dodge Coronet 440
