In 1970, my next door neighbor bought a Hemi Cuda new under $4,000. Superbirds were 4800-5200 : )
Great memories.
Note: Everyone I knew well said my 68 GTO was a freak. It was WAY faster than other 68 goats. We never learned why either.
You probably had the 400HO in it. That was a beast of an engine, put out some crazy horsepower, like damn near 370 hp - almost one HP per cubic inch.
My (future) brother-in-law had a 67 Goat with a 428/4bbl/4-speed. It was, as he put it, a “raped ape”. I remember it well, dark brown with a convertible top.
Pontiac made MONSTER muscle cars. I miss them. I’ve had two Bonnevilles over the years - beautiful machines.
Pontiac - Another piece of Americana that got ruined.
Plymouth’s gone, too. Who can forget the Road Runner with a 383 or 426 Hemi? Geez... absolute beastly.
At least Dodge is still around, keeping the muscle car legacy alive, and Chevy went retro with the Camaro, and Ford with the retro Mustang.
