Yeah, I remember those days. Got my first new "muscle car" in '73. Mustang Mach 1 w/351 Cleveland. Because of all the bogus, useless, counterproductive emissions controls, it had ~173 horsepower.

I couldn't even hop it up because we had federally mandated emissions inspections every year.

Yeah, my parents car was a ‘70 Mercury Montego wagon. He traded it in on a ‘74 AMC Gremlin. What a step down! But it had a straight 6 and a 3 speed manual and was good on gas.
