[71LS5]

A "jet black" or gold colored '67 big block car are the only ones from that era that are very attractive to me.

My first car was a '68 Firebird 400. Even the 396 Chevelles, as long as they were stock, could not handle me. Oh that Pontiac passing gear!!!

IMHO, '69 was really the first year for the eye catcher colors and style. A Hugger Orange Chevelle SS or Daytona Yellow Camaro was the best looking and best running cars on the street. Z/28's decked out with those runway stripes on the hood that year were awesome.

Then Chrysler had to do one better and go completely crazy on their colors. I must admit, the price/performance for the old Mopars was better than GM or Ford at that time. Duster and Demon 340's in the early '70s were a great buy as were Roadrunners and Cudas. Buddy of mine had a '70 Plum Crazy Roadrunner. Bone stock 383. The only options were pistol grip Hurst four speed, and my personal favorite, the ram air hood. Looked meaner than the flapper stuff on the Chevelles. And could that thing ever fly!!!

One of the wilder looking cars I saw was a lime green Hemi SuperBird over at Frank Scott Chrysler in Joplin, MO. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
