More one or two year wonders that might be cool.....

Here's some more one or two year models that many people overlook, but are still cool. # 1. 1975 Plymouth Road Runner. These were based on the Sport Fury platform and had special badging, the trademark "beep-beep" horn and rally wheels. 318 versions are dogs, but the 360 and 400 V8 models can be made to really run. Rougly 6,500 were built so their not a moon rock.  # 2. 1977 Pontiac Can-Am. Hoping to cash in on the Trans-Am's immense popularity this performance package for the LeMans included a Gran Prix instrument panel,a T/A style "shaker" hood scoop, a ducktail rear spolier and "Judge" style striping. Mechanics included a 400 4bbl V8 ( a 403 Olds in California ) a TH400 with a shift kit, front and rear sway bars ( basically the Police package ) and a limited-slip rear end. They only lasted one season because the "A" bodies were downsized for 1978, but they are a cool ride if you can find one. # 3. 1978-79 Dodge Li'l Red Express Pickup. These were a 1/2 ton 2wd stepside pickup with a special red and gold paint job, fat tires on chrome slotted wheels, vertical semi-style exhaust stacks and a 360 V8 backed by a Torqueflite and a 3.55:1 posi rear end. Except for the L82 Corvette and WS6 Trans-Am, this was the fastest American vehicle built in those years. They have kind of a "cult" following among Mopar fans, but if you look hard enough you can find them at a decent price. # 4. 1982 Corvette. These had the C3 body that had been around since 1968, coupled with a Cross-Fire Injected 350 and the new 4-speed automatic. They were decent performers for the time- 7-second 0-60 and 15 second 1/4 mile times. However their are a million ways to build power into a small-block Chevy, and since 'Vette collectors snub these cars like the plague, you can actually buy them at reasonable prices. # 5. 1984 Corvette. There was no '83 model-these debuted in April 1983 as an '84 model. These were the 1st of the C4 body that would last until 1996. They had a Cross-Fire injected 350 backed by a 4-speed automatic or the BW "4+3"-a 4-speed manual with an electric overdrive that could be engaged in the top 3 gears, effectively giving you 7 speeds. 'Vette enthusiasts snub these cars in favor of the 1985-91 "Tuned Port Injected" models, but that's why I have seen these cars on used car lots for as low as $2995!! You don't normally hear the words "Corvette" and "cheap" in the same sentence, but it applies here. # 6. 1984-86 Ford Mustang SVO. These had Recaro seats, 16" wheels and a Tubocharged 4-cylinder engine that put out between 175 and 205 hp depending on year. They didn't sell well because the "5.0" V8 models were both faster and several thousand dollars cheaper. However you can buy them fairly cheap now, and the 2.3 liter 4-banger is tough-you could turn the boost way up and it will withstand it.  #7. 1989 20th Anniversary Trans-Am. These had Recaro seats, a special white and blue paint job, and instead of the LB9 and L98 TPI Chevy V8s-had the vaunted Turbocharged,Intercooled V6 out of the Buick Grand National. Since the V6 was a few hundred pounds lighter than the V8's, the car was not only faster, but handled better as well. Pontiac collectors have driven the prices up, but they are dynamite if you can find one.  Mastermind
