Guess that car

car20103.jpg
 
Don't know what it is (Plymouth/Dodge/Chrysler??), but what I do know is that it is butt ugly.....dang. Mid 70's I would guess when the big 3 lost the plot and made massively overweight underpowered behemoths and named them after their previous generation muscle cars....ughh.
Dart/Charger/Fury....and with the rednecks' love for stickers it would not be funny if in fact it's a Mercury.....:erm:

Well, for once the MOPAR sign on the windscreen actually does tie in with the car - and that's as far as I can go on mid 70's Mopar Generics!!

AMX

These has their own cult following if you'd prefer something a bit different than the normal Mustang or Camaro. I checked out a red one about a year ago around Pinetown area.

Even when standing still the AMX looked like it was travelling 100 mph. Performance was the word, only V-8's were available, and those were all equipped with Carter four-barrels and dual exhausts. The baseline 290 ci produced 225 hp at 4700 rpm, the optional 343 ci produced 280 hp and the top-of-the-line 390 was rated at 315 hp with a tire smoking 425 ft.lbs of torque. (note: all AMC V-8s are smallblocks! the 290, 304, 343, 360, 390 and 401 engines are all based on the same block. This is NOT a Ford 390!) AMC advertised in its factory literature and ads that "once the 390 was broken in, you could roll right onto a race track and be ready to do 130 mph". If that wasn't enough there were the Group 19 dealer-installed factory performance parts; Aluminum intake manifolds, hi-lift cams, roller rockers, Detroit Locker rear-ends with gears as steep as 5.00: 1, side pipes, and rear wheel disc brake kits, to name a few.

The AMX was the only American steel bodied two seater of its time, the last being the '55-'57 Ford Thunderbird. The starting factory price for a 1968 AMX was $3,245.00, nearly $1,500.00 less than a Corvette. Hitting the show rooms in March of '68 resulted in only 6,725 AMXs being built, but the company's larger goal for the AMX was met, to bring younger customers into AMC showrooms and to show that AMC was finally serious about performance.

Stokkies is correct with the Plymouth.. 1975 Roadrunner and Fury were the same platform AFAIK. Not a good period for American cars.

I think it might be a Nissan Sylvia from the 60s...
