Dude! That's a land-yacht!
LOL! It was...with an awesomely huge backseat
My dad had a 1976 Olds Delta 88, had a 454 in it and was 21 ft long. What a car that was.
Hey Nutz, Nice bird ! Poncho's rule !:thmbsp:

I had a '76 Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham...350-erm, excuse me, 5.7 litre V-8, "Whore's Drawers" upholstery....HUGE car, had 3' of dead space under the hood, but the back seat, I thought, was CRIMINALLY small for a car of that size. Teeninecy trunk, too-Spare took up Squatter's rights. I took all the pollution crap offa it, it would run like a scalded dog. It was trained well, too-Took me home several times that I don't remember how I got there...

A 1972 Volvo P-1800 coupe (body by Ghia) 2.0L port fuel-injected engine, similar to this one. Like an idiot, I sold it after I first got married.
Good enough for Roger Moore as The Saint and good enough for me -- plus girls loved those little tail fins. :yes:

Mine wasnt a car at all. It was a 76 chevy van, with the wall to wall carpet, fridge , bed , side bubble windows ,lowered with fender flares custom sound system. You had to understand it was the late
1970`s and vans were all the rage. at least here in cali.
I didnt know they were producing the miura s, must be a special construction or kit.

Mikes off! No recording!
Nice!
my cousin is working on a '72 240Z. he found a parts '83 240Z(MUCH heavier) one with a much bigger engine(straight-6 vs. 4). the 240Z's engine had seens its days, but the car itself was in much better shape. he transplanted the engine, and turbo-charged it(or maybe it already had turbo). now he has ONE HELLUVA AWESOME '72 240Z!

Always a favorite to be parked behind at the drive-in...

THAT is more my speed!
Form follows function. I'd rather have that vehicle than a new Hummer. Cool, Grumpy.
What do you call that? Tell us a little more about that 'babe magnet'.

HI guys,
Here was my first car and Toyota's take on the Volvo P1800S in the liftback version, the 1977 Toyota Corolla SR5 Liftback. I always thought it was a handsome car, if a bit underpowered with a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder. But it was very practical, the back seats would fold down into a flat "bed" that could hold tons of stuff. I learned that the hard way when my wife and I took Highway 1 up the California coast and I thought I could get up on 1 tank of gas to Monterey. Well, I was pretty much dry when we rolled into Big Sur but the gas station was closed and the only hotel was full. She slept in the back bed while I had to curl up in the front seat (cause she was pretty mad at me). However the morning drive to Carmel made up for it.
Always thought though my dad's 1975 Mercury Grand Marquis land yacht was great because you could actually stretch out almost 6 feet in the back seat :scratch2:
Regards,
Bart

That SR5 is like a cross between the P1800 coupe and P1800ES wagon.Sandy said "I liked the "Shooting Break" version of those-a little more practical, & when was the last time you saw one?"

I like the SR5 front end too, plus the body reminds me a slightly stretched AE-86...

You're gonna only pick up stocky women from the old country in that thing.
Ya know it wont have any trouble hauling them
It was at the Chrysler museum last Thursday. If you don't like that one heres a couple that are a little more modern. Not my taste but some may like it.
