Some more cool one or two year models........

Here's some more one or two year models that you can still gt a bargain on.  # 1. 1967 Pontiac GTO. For some reason everyone wants a '64-66 model, or a '68-72 model. These are overlooked and I don't know why. They have the best of both worlds. The bodystyle is very similar to the '66, yet they have many cool features that the later models had. For example if you get an automatic in a '64-66 model it's a 2-speed ST300 ( read BOP bolt-pattern Powerglide ). The '67 models had the excellent 3-speed TH400. The new 400 inch V8 had much better breathing cylinder heads than the '66 and earlier 389. Front disc brakes were an option for the first time. 81,000 were built, so you ought to be able to find one for a decent price. # 2. 1971 Dodge Super Bee. For this one year only the Super Bee was based on the Charger body instead of the Coronet. Hemi and 440 Six-pack versions are priced in the startosphere, but you can still get a good deal on 383 models. 6,500 or so were built so their not a moon rock.  # 3. 1973 Chevrolet Corvette. For this one year only you got the ducktail rear end of the '68-72 models and the urethane front bumper of the '74-79 models. The L48 and L82 350 V8s were rated at 190 and 250 hp respectively, and the LS4 454 was rated at 275 hp. For some reason 'Vette collectors snub these cars in favor of the earlier or later models-but I think their cool and that keeps prices reasonable. And the catalyst-free dual exhausts make them much more powerful than the later ones. # 4. 1974 Pontiac GTO. Often called the "Best Nova ever Built." This was the year that Pontiac switched the GTO nameplate from the "A" body LeMans chassis to the "X" body ( read Nova ) platform. The buff magazines howled to the high heavens and derided the car which probably hurt sales. The Trans-Am was now the flagship, and the engineers were trying to jump-start sales with a new, fresh package. The buff magazines were wrong-it was a good performance package-they had wrist-thick front and rear sway bars,a Trans-Am style shaker hood scoop,front disc brakes, and a 350 V8 backed by a 4-speed or a TH350. They were good performers for the time-15 second 1/4 mile times. 7,058 were sold-and think about this-a 400 or a 455 is a bolt-in swap, and a Ventura weighs about 3,200 lbs-600 lbs less than a same-year Firebird, and any suspension or brake upgrades that fit a Camaro / Firebird fit these cars. A dynamite sleeper if you can find one. #5. 1977-78 AMC AMX. AMC tried to resurrect the AMX nameplate on the compact Hornet chassis. They actually gave it some cool graphics and a great handling suspension. The bummer was the biggest engine available was a 304 V8 with a 2bbl that wheezed out 120 hp. The upside is AMC V8's are like Pontiacs-they are externally identical from a 290 to a 401. So a stompin' 360 or 401 would be a bolt-in swap. With a curb weight of 2,900 lbs-a 360 or 401 in one of these would give those smug disco-era T/A owners ( and some 5.0 Mustang and other musclecar owners for that matter ) a surprise they'd never forget. Maybe one of these can be your dream ride....Mastermind
