If there was ever a car and styling that represented the 1970's, then this has to be that car. It's so over-the-top that it's actually cool. The price was definitely affordable for the time. The 1970's were marred by quality issues, but we did have many unique cars to choose from.  Thanks for the post --

That's hilarious Nick! ... and those odd attributes provide a certain symmetry to the whole thing.

Dang the front end on that thing is surprisingly similar to my 76 Pontiac Astre (the Pontiac version of the Chevy Vega).   :a102:

Tell me I got bad taste....but that thing is awesome.

As cool as mainstream muscle cars and hot rods are something about period correct (original or resto) odd balls are just cooler
