The orange one in my post is a 72 Hemi Cuda.

Love those.


Yeah the Barracudas were cool, what's not to like?  Basically just a Challenger mini-me.

Another cool MOPAR in that same family:

Not sure we've posted one of these yet, not exactly obscure but definitely overshadowed by its more famous sister car:

The Nova feels like it has had a real renaissance around here. It used to be the poor man’s muscle car—at least that was my impression—but nowadays it feels more and more cool. I guess age and nostalgia are powerful things.

Yeah I think the established pecking orders from the 60s/70s, the hierarchies of coolness, have somewhat melted away over the years.  Now, some folks just look at ANY muscle car or pony car from the era, and think they're pretty cool.

I think that's definitely true of my views.  Back in the 80s when I first got into those 60s and 70s classics, I had some definite biases toward some cars, and against others.

Now, although Mustangs are still my favorites, I have a much deeper appreciation for all muscle/pony cars.  I'd be pretty happy to drive around in any of them, honestly.

Heck, even a freaking OLDSMOBILE can be pretty darn cool! @SeattLion

My Nova was pretty smog choked, still pretty fun for the day.  My Tucson would outrun it handily.  But not fun.

You're trying to draw out Seattlion from board retirement, I see.

Yeah I shoulda tagged him.  He stopped by here briefly a while back.  Now he just seems to live his best life on FB.

Our oldest has a 62 Nova. He's in the process of doing a frame-up restoration - himself and friends.
