Hate to sound like i’m commenting on everyone, but there really isn’t much variation, most of these cars look the same to me.[/quote]
I’m probably going to piss off a bunch of people with this, BUT…
To me, American muscle cars of the era pretty much all looked alike, except for paint schemes. Pony cars were a little more distinct in the 60s, but not so much in the 70s.
So them all looking alike in this competition? Not exactly a coincidence.
As an American, I actually tend to agree. Change the front, change the back, the rest of the car generally looks the same. Sure, some tried to be different, but I think car manufacturers go through cycles. They build unique and different cars until something changes in the industry and then everyone’s cars look the same for a few years or so, then the cycle repeats again.
So, yeah, the 70’s muscle cars all tended to look same-ish to me.
I can’t help but notice that I’m the only one(I think) who has used the 1965 body in this round. Is there a particular reason why nobody else uses it?
I didn’t use it because it’s too big.
Isn’t my “Eh Camino” enough of a wildcard? 
I think I used the 4-door version of that body. And I picked it for making a wildcard, and because I’ve never used the 4-door version before, so it just felt right to try something new.
This was the car in the older version of Kee engine. It is enough drivable to not be a concern.
I think it should have become even a bit more drivable with the latest update of Kee engine.
The guy down the road bought the farm, and his daughter wants his stuff sold. She asked me to take care of it. Some dude offered me 8 grand on the spot, so I figured it might be worth a bit more. From what I can make out, it’s a U.S.-market only version of a British sports coupe with a “near 500 cube”… whatever that means. Hard to find any real details on it, so it must be a little bit rare.

Not ever since the Performance Tuner Time Attack 95 did I see people going over the top this “little” 
And that was full of cars with turbos bigger than their engines pushing as much as 700hp from 2 liters and 1500hp twinturbo v8’s with turbo kick as painful as Chuck Norris roundhouse to the face.
For sale is my well kept second gen Barracuda.
Numbers Matching Original
Clean interior
333ci Small Block (one of the earliest 333ci blocks built)
Was repainted factory color back in the 90s, but it is starting to show its age.
Special Options:
The engine is the 1969 333ci Hi-Po V8, which was equipped with the best cylinder heads AEA ever designed in that era. It was advertised at 290hp back in '69, but it was really underrated. The previous owner had the small block rebuilt to factory specs, but I’ve heard that if you cam it a little, you can really make some power from the small block.
Some Company History: This was the body that was originally sold in the Fruinia markets only until the oil crisis caused AEA to bring it into the Gasmean markets to replace the first gen body in 1973.
No Lowballers! This is listed for the fair price of $12100 FIRM

Likewise, I could have submitted one of these, but rejected it for being too expensive:
Also, the '68 NMI Arrowhead GTX has an independent rear end, four-wheel disc brakes and a five-speed gearbox plus an auto locking diff - few, if any, real-life classic muscle cars had at least one of the first three components. And as I learned from CSR51, an auto locker can be a poor substitute for a primitive LSD at times.
@BobLoblaw & @abg7 REALLY???
@strop - new rule…You submit a car and then STFU about what you could/should/would have entered if x,y or z!
well, for at least one of them, that’s the problem you have when you want to submit five cars to the challenge but none of them quite fit the bill 
I apologize. I’ll even delete the post if necessary.
Although Gasril was known for some truly crazy inventions during the heights of the '60s (such as the 400hp Machismo SUV), its most enduring car through the '70s was the simple and dependable Gasril Hustle. The Hustle was a no-nonsense pony car, delivering excellent power and speed with no excess cost. This example comes in stealth blue and is equipped with the 247hp 5.0L V8. It’s good for 0-60 in 6.4 seconds and a 15-second quarter mile. It may not have been the most advanced or the most exciting car of its time, but it had excellent performance for its price, was reliable and easy to upgrade, and offered surprisingly high efficiency for the time period.
Today, all of those advantages are still just as valid and just as applicable to anyone seeking that classic V8 rumble from a bygone era. The quintessential, working man’s pony car. For just $9800, you can own this piece of history and restore it, tune it, or do anything you’d like!

Description:
It’s come time to sll my beloved 1969 Solo Harrier 400, I just can’t properly care for her anymore. Bought new and owned her since, never driven in rain, always been in Sacramento. She’s 100% original and still going strong. Always been properly maintained and had anything issues taken care of before becoming a serious problem. The paint’s original and starting to fade a little from the hours of joyful driving in the sun.
The Solo Harrier 400 was introduced for the 1969 model year and only available until 1972. Solo crammed a 400ci V8 in there making 362 hp (figure I got from the dyno a few years back) to bring it against hte higher performance Mustangs and Camaros. It’s got the lip and spoiler from the Harrier Sport, but wider arches and wheels and quad exhausts, so you can really tell that it’s a special car. The purple paint was one of the special colours for it and is probably the most recognised one.
This is your chance to own a little piece of muscle car history at a good price. No low ballers and no trades, I’m in no hurry to sell her.
Packing a well maintained twin cam 258ci V8, size doesn’t mean everything. The Piranha can sprint to 62mph in under 6.5 seconds and tops out at 140mph, with that engine screaming all the way to 7000rpm.
It’s recorded multiple high 14’s on the 1/4 mile but there’s definitely a bit more in there, interior is is good condition and the radio is working, asking $12,500
i will review them and post results a soon as i can
I wonder if the Machismo’s big-block V8 could fit in the Hustle’s engine bay… It seems big enough to take it!
And regarding the Piranha:
I don’t think there were any muscle cars with DOHC engines back then, but it’s nice to see one here, for variety’s sake.
Edit: I must have forgotten about SOHC… His wording is ambiguous as to whether or not it actually means dual overhead cams per cylinder bank.
Unless twin cam means two SOHC heads.
