Love em.
I had one for a bit. 1972 Skylark (poor mans Chevelle)......got a great deal, was in good shape, had it for about a year, redid the interior, upgraded the suspension (all corners....springs, bushings, ball joints, shocks, sway bars...made it handle great) then I realized it was going to cost me another 12-15k to get it where I wanted (engine, transmission, rear end, etc) and was going to take time that I didn't have so I sold it and bought something that was already built, modded and ready to hit the track.
It had the Big Block 455 (which sounded so good but just felt like a turd due to the 3 speed TH350 & 2.xx something rear end. I was constantly going back and forth in my head about pulling it and rebuilding it to handle a single turbo and be in the 600-700 hp range or just dropping a 6.0 LS & turbo in it.
I faurkin loved just cruising in that thing though. Got so many looks, thumbs up and just general interest and love. It was an experience every time....the sound, the smell, the "it might die and I might not make it home" lol......I do miss it.

looks good. I love the body style but prefer the 70 grille/head light look.
I'm a Ford guy now and come from a Ford family, back when I was about to turn 16 in the late 90's the local bank had a silent auction for a 70 Barracuda that was repo'ed. It was a decent driver car, kind of an ugly green color, with a 318 and auto. My dad put in a bid on it for it to be my first car but we didn't get it. Its interesting to think if i had gotten that car I'd probably be a Mopar guy rather than a guy with a bunch of Fords in the garage.

That’s awesome OP , pretty much the pinnacle of car collections . I always wanted a Cuda or Challenger back in the day . I ended up being a TranAm guy , but srs it’s no Cuda obviously, and only had 180 hp .
I sold it as I have no room , but really miss cruising around with the T-roofs off .
To tell you truth I’m more of a truck guy . Here’s my 84 , same story though , sold and should have kept .
6” lift , 35” mud ta’s
I had this 81 Z28 back in 84 . Miss those days .
As you can gather I’m a Chevy , GM fan .
This had a 4 speed standard ,as did the truck . Much funner to drive

Loved the 69-70 Mustang fast back , my favourite body style . I’d be ok with a 428 SCJ though . My stepbrother had a 71 Mach1 with a 351 Boss . The 351 Boss only came with a 4 speed , was an amazing car.
I had just bought my TransAm , and at work I just run across this guy who just rebuilt and was selling a 70 fastback mustang . I was disappoint.
If I would have bought it , I would have thrown in a 428 SCJ and a 4 speed standardMake Misc great again

We used to cruise around after school in my buddies Cobra Torino . Probably the fastest accelerating car I’ve ever been in .
It had a 429 CJ , and I think the reason it came off the line so hard is the front suspension would unload and transfer most of the weight to the rear tires .
We actually killed a cougar with a built 351 clevland in it , and we had no first gear .
Here’s a pic of what it looked like . Rare car that not many have heard of .

Man, I'm rewatching Rust Valley Restorers on Netflix - Mike is a fukin clown when it comes to his business sense but he's put out some beautiful machines reasonably cheap - Super Bees, a Roadrunner, a Cuda, a Parisienne - then Avery sells a 70 or 71 Stingray for like $7500
In Australia, you're not paying less than $60k for a decent condition anything like thatRAW DOG CREW LIEUTENANT
