The 70s had some great cars. In America you had some great Muscle cars before the 1973 oil crisis caused a trastic redesign of most American cars and by the end of the decade most American cars where pretty forgettable and generic. So here is my top 10 favorite cars of the 70s along with a lot of honorable mentions:
My top ten:
1 1970 Dodge Cornett Super Bee My favorite American muscle car powered by 425 hp V8.
2. 1971 De Tomaso Pantera Italian build sports car that was powered by a American build V8 Ford engine.
3. 1971 Plymouth GTX 426 Hemi American muscle car and the sister car to the Super Bee.
4. 1974 Lancia Stratos HF Strale Italian spors car that is powered by a Ferrari V6 engine also was a successful rally car.
5. 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 High performace version of the first generation Mustang its also pretty rare since only 499 made in 1970 and 859 in 1969.
6. 1977 Aston Martin V8 Vantage British grand tourer powered by a 5.3 liter V8 engine.
7. 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS Early performace version of the original 911.
8. 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am My favorite Firebird of the 70s what it lacks in power it makes up in style.
9. 1973 Mazda RX-3 Rotary powered compact sports car.
10. 1978 Saab 99 Turbo Turbo powered verision of the Saab 99 it was also on the pricey side since for its price in Germany you could have bought two base version VW Scirocco or a BMW 5 series with a six cylinder engine during the same time.
