    "......I would have thought there would be a Mopar Hemi in there somewhere ?????...."

    Not in 75 mellow, they were all gone by then.


    34_40 this is likely the only time I think I'd disagree with you. We had one of those we used to work on at a shop I was at. A dirty rotten ***** to work on, cramped and pretty temperamental motor and transaxel.


    The mid 70's was a pretty dismal era for factory performance....it says something when the quickest 0-100 MPH in 76 was a 360 powered Dodge pickup.

    A lot of us who were still into street/strip racing at the time were stuffing V8s into Pintos and Vegas and keeping the late 60s muscle cars running by then.

    I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

    You don't have to disagree with me Mike, we're on the same page.. I've ridden in a couple and been around them enough to know that I don't want to work on it!

    But if I have to pick something from 1975.... it certainly won't be a thunderchicken!
