>>28976835
Yes

Always thought these could make pretty nice platform for a build.

>>28976832 (OP)
would be neat to take one of these and turn it into a proper muscle car. it basically already looks like one. i bet they're a lot cheaper than the other models.

>>28976832 (OP)
friend had that exact make and model as a beer cruiser and he used to pay a local downie girl to drive us around. no offense to her but damn she is down with the down... she tried to do burnouts everywhere but she just burned clutch. it was hillarious.

All those people talking about that era how it was the worst fucking shit ever happening to car design didn't expect what the 2020s had in store.

I'd much rather a 2020s mustang than a mustang ii

Can I see some JDM malaise era?

>didn't expect what the 2020s had in store.

nigger the difference is modern cars can have good power and performance

Late 70s you had unreliable ugly looking poses that made 90 hp out of 5 liter engines

>>28976836
Its almost as though there were options and trim levels....

>>28976949
>nigger the difference is modern cars can have good power and performance
Yeah but you look like a tool, so by extension you are a tool.

we're in another one of these eras all the cars look the same they are ugly jelly beans

>>28976946
There isn't really such a thing, maybe early 50s to 60s jap cars that weren't really nothing special.

>>28976971
I liked the overly plush malaise :<

>>28976943
>Screen takes a dump in your path
No personnel in the building or something

>>28976883
Actually, no. All the stang 2s got used up for kit cars; you can't find one anymore and thus they command a premium even over 5.0 foxes.

>>28977340

And they've been fucked up by government fuel and safety regulations again.

You are a flare stack fag pond and your post makes no sense. Your incestuous opinions can safely be disregarded.

Sure, 13B Rotary, with Mazda's first 5-speed gearbox. Many were scrapped for the running gear for earlier,ligher models.

>>28977419
Stop using that

>Malaise Era
Why have I never heard anybody use this term IRL?

>>28976832 (OP)
I know it's not a real Mustang but I like the Pinto as much as the G1. It's just too small and weedy. All in all my favourite bodies are from this time frame but the built quality and performance were just objectively terrible.

>>28977599
White eloquence is at an all time low.

>>28977599
Because most people you meet actually love these cars

Remember what they took from you

>>28977599
So what are you trying to say?

>>28979823
The second one is a bit too much. I like the first one much more.

>>28977599
Do you regularly have in depth conversations about the history of the automotive industry with people irl?

>>28977599
idk how to pronounce it

>>28982257
Bitchin' Camaro

>>28979889
Yeah I work for a lot of boomers and old people who own classic vehicles. None of them have ever used that term.

>>28982335
Yet I'll bet they'll know exactly what you mean if you say it.

It kinda was a dark age, you had 5.0L engines that from oldsmobile that made 140hp due to emissions, thays slower than a Honda civic, the car is fucking ugly due to regulations, and its still a piece of shit American car of poor quality and handling, that would be like taking an Infiniti G35, taking away its beautiful looks, the 298HP, the lovely driving dynamics, and leaving in the terrible Nissan build quality in an ugly car that sucks to drive and is slow.

Its a nightmare, I feel bad for anyone who had to deal with thay crap in the 70s, thays why the Jap cars took over, it was a joke.

>>28983737
>the car is fucking ugly due to regulations
what a retard

>>28983740
They were anon, they literally did not know how to make the car have a real bumper and look good, yoy got nostalgia goggles on over something you weren't forced to deal with.

>>28983747
shut up retard jesus

>>28983751
You're the one liking slow ass ugly cars that don't even know how to fuel inject or catalytic convert properly

>>28983762
retards like you are why this board is dead. there was a thread that sat on the front page for multiple hours with zero posts in it because nobody wants to talk to mongoloids.

>>28983771
>Liking good cars is mong
Alright, anon

Did the Ford Pinto ever have it's fuel system improved for it's final years, or was it too little to late for Ford to even bother.
