1979 Model 17 (Coyote)
For the 1979 marketing year, the Coyote was spun off the Model 15 Mutineer, unlike the previous gen model, which was a cropped Model 12. This platform change meant that the Coyote had to downsize its drivetrains, but the change also benefited affordability, fuel economy and annual running costs.
The Model 17 was designed to ensure that anyone who wanted a fast, stylish coupe could find one at their Bogliq dealer. The lucky Coyote owner would then be rewarded with good performance, affordable running costs and excellent reliability to back up those stylish first impressions. Bogliq USA wanted to ensure that no Bogliq owner found their cars wanting in the one area that mattered: The ownership experience!
