What part of Alternative bodystyles did you not get??,,,

Some people have complained that my "Fine Lines" series wasn't exactly like Car Craft's. Like Steve Martin used to say on Saturday Night Live-"Well Excuuuse me!!"  I said I wanted to highlight cars that people didn't normally think about that were great bases for a hot rod. So sorry-I didn't include Mustangs and Camaros and Chargers and Chevelles-the cookie-cutters that we see at every "Show and Shine". I'd much rather see a '65 Galaxie done in NASCAR style than I would an umpteenth '65 Mustang with a Fuel-Injected "5.0" and a T5 five speed!!!  I didn't include 1970-74- Chrylser E-bodies? Why? Because Chrysler screwed up big time. First off the big-blocks were discontinued after 1971. From '72 on your engine choices were a 150hp 318 with a 2bbl or a 240 hp 340. Replaced by the 360 truck engine in '74. Pontiac made major bank even before "Smokey and the Bandit" because the Trans-Am was the only game in town if you wanted a musclecar. Even Chevrolet was stupid-the Z/28 took a 3 year hiatus from 1974-77, and was only resurrected because T/A's were selling at a record pace. The 440 was available in trucks and "big cars" through '78. If Chrysler had done with the Cuda/ Challenger what GM did with the Camaro / Firebird-not change it-do you think a 440 / 4-speed Challenger could have competed with a 400 / 4-speed T/A??  Ditto for the Javelin / AMX and the Olds 442. AMC and Oldsmobile could have kept the 401 and the 455 going until 1979 like Pontiac did with the 400. But they didn't. They listened to the bean counters. Anyway-no I'm not going to say how great '67-'69 Camaros are or '68-72 Chevelles. The focus is on bodystyles people didn't normally think about.  And if you don't like that I'm sorry. Mastermind
