The redesigning of Ford’s mid-size cars in 1970 did not get the response they were hoping. Experts claim that maybe they spent more time in NASCAR promoting the 69 model thus neglecting the newer model.

Featuring a colonnade style body, these mid-size cars were the last traditional mid-size GTO. Most of the builds packed a 230-hp, 400-cubic inch 6.6L V-8 with an optional 7.5L. However the squishy-nosed Grand Am became more popular, offering a sedan and coupe variation at a fair price.

Late 70’s saw the influx of Trans Am prices though the less flashy Formula lagged behind. However, in 1978, the Formula introduced a 220-hp true Pontiac 400 6.6L V-8 model. Additionally, the WS6 handling package with four-wheel disc brakes and the stunning snowflake along wheels set it apart as a flashy yet affordable option.

The second-generation El Camino didn’t reach showroom floors until 1964, and the new model shared the #Chevelle platform. Chevy chopped a two-door Chevelle at the B- pillars, which yielded the El Camino, a plain Jane clone of the Chevelle, but it displayed the badging of both vehicles. The available power options of the utility designated El Camino in ’64 were limited to a 194-cubic-inch and a 230-cubic-inch six with a 283-cubic-inch #V8 that produced 195 horsepower mounted with #ElCamino ...

Folks willing to pay top dollar put great trust in them to cook up something magical, whether it’s on a plate or on four wheels. Building cars, like cooking, is big #wheels #ProStreet #Chevy ...
