I would love to have a 70s Pinto. You can mod out the safety concerns.
Besides any pre-mid 70s car is pretty much a scary ride based on brake capability. People are used to being able to stop on a dime now; back then you were given some space between cars, just because. Now you give someone 12 feet in front of you and someone is going to fill it.
The days of non servo braking made us better drivers, as you never knew which way your car was going to lurch when you applied firm brakes. You had to be on the ready.
