Re: 1970's Street Machines
There were articles as early as 1971 for the street but SS lines I would say really started to be used on the street around 1977-1978..that is when there was ton of how two articles. Some cars used them before then but it was rare. The late 70's Pro Street scene really made them famous.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 68ys8030</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> when did the red and blue AN fittings come into the street scene?

Re: 1970's Street Machines
Dan , it sometimes makes me feel like I was born a little too late! I would have loved to have been part of this era.
I'd love to do a day 2 car one day. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] |
Re: 1970's Street Machines
For anyone who was not old enough to remember these years you have no idea what you missed especially if you lived in one of the car mecca cities. I was in Minneapolis so we had exposure everywhere 7 nights a week. Give anything to go back to those days.

I remember seeing that car in the Car Craft Street Freaks magazines. http://blueicehouse.com/n5ssi/CCSF.jpg Love it. I always wanted to do a blue flake car. Still do, but good luck finding somebody to do it affordably. |

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...stintrack2.jpg My 16 year old boys car. His idea. he painted it patina. Sold his BMX bike to hire a person to letter it up. He then sanded the lettering to age it and flat cleared it in ppg . 289 hi po ,5 speed , 410 posi. He spent every day after school on this car and he couldn't be prouder!

Re: 1970's Street Machines
Did you BUY IT YET ?
$15,500 obo ???? I'd say that's a Deal. unless Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble are the only ones that know how to drive it . |
Re: 1970's Street Machines
I'm holding out for this one. The big block was removed for a 350 but the car is otherwise untouched. Took me years to find it.

Re: 1970's Street Machines
Ive drooled on that picture for years and it took awhile to track it down. I talked to the current owner this morning. All he would tell me is it will take a good offer to sell it. If I ever get it from him its going to get put exactly how it is in that picture.
Funny thing is while searching for that Nova this 69 found me. 1 owner barn car. Bought it for my sons first car. Collecting day 2 parts because he wants early 70s street machine look right down to the tunnel ram and L88 hood. Heres a few: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...zachnova10.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../zachnova9.png |
Re: 1970's Street Machines
Bonus birthday. Slowly getting his parts

Re: 1970's Street Machines
This is his inspiration. Keep the original yellow, black motion style stripe on the hood and it HAS to be a 4 speed

Re: 1970's Street Machines
Wow...that kid is like us older guys opening just arrived boxes ...
Did he get that shiner defending his rite of passage working on the car ? in my book,, a Father and son build to his dream car is far more rewarding than buying someone else's from years ago.....maybe your son's Nova can be your inspiration ad well and maybe "he'll let you add a few things" you like from that Old Nova Street Beast !!! lol... Take a kid to a car show has nothing on...hey Dad, let's go work on it in the garage ! You gotta be proud ! |
Re: 1970's Street Machines
That's what got me hooked. Weekends in the garage working with Dad, going to junkyards, etc. It's how we spent every single Saturday in the summer from about age 11 until I left for college.
|
Re: 1970's Street Machines
Dad got me hooked, car shows and races, polishing the Camaros. His car will be built how he wants it, it's his vision. I have my 71 to build my way and the one I am trying to buy is one I have lusted over for years.
As for that eye, well, lets just say it was a note to self moment. When running in gym class watch where you are going. Lesson learned the painful way. |
Re: 1970's Street Machines
hey dad !!! I think I want a Honda civic for my birthday! Needless to say he changed his mind. He He... No really. Awsome. It will keep him busy for sure. So rewarding to take an old car and turn it into a real street machine

Re: 1970's Street Machines
My first adventure into a car I could actually play with, work on and try my hand at was a Steel 32 Ford 5 window CPE. Sitting on a painted frame, big Olds rear, white big pleated naugahyde with no motor or trans. .
an old Hot Rod from the Early 60's. I had no idea or what to do, had no money or access to mom's purse and at 13 1/2 - 14, I saw a Hemmings ....and parted it out ! and got a 36 Pontiac Cpe that only needed upolstrey and gas tank.... A 32 5 Window. ....still gotta have one |

Pic of my mom with my dads Mach1 in the early 70's. She designed the pin stripe layout. Had chrome steel slots on the back. |
Re: 1970's Street Machines
Tough lookin' car! Looks like your Mom is rocking the popular bell-bottoms and bare feet style.

Re: 1970's Street Machines
I remember at least 15 cars set up that way..L60's/N50's on the back with mags and stock wheels up front. Thanks for posting the pic really brings back memories.
