@@docmccoy9813 yep. Take the Toyota emblems off my wife’s Venza I’d be hard pressed to pick it out of a half other makes that look almost identical. I’ll keep my old Alfa Romeos
I wasn't aware of the Mustang Milano but good God that may be one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen and I think it's dethroned the GT40 as the best looking thing Ford has ever made in my book.
No matter what brand you are loyal to you gotta admit that Mopar really understood the young testosterone crowd with their cars and advertising campaigns. That concept Cuda had _everything_ about 1970 down. The wheels, the slicks, the sidepipes, the rake, the painted scallops, the shaker hood... It really was Hot Wheels all grown up. It would have sold like _mad_ if it could have been made affordable enough. The taillights on that Ford Mirano made a lot of sense. What a great safety feature that really telegraphed what driver was doing to following traffic. Way, way ahead of its time.
In my opinion the Cuda was too rounded and bubbely as far as the sheetmetel went, the interior had real cheap and boring door panels etc, the other E body the MIGHTY DODGE CHALLENGER had great sharp body lines, more curb apeal and one of the best door panel and seats combos ever, the Challenger was the hottest looking of both Divisions, just look at the grill and tail lights on the 1971 Challenger no other manufactuer ever came close to that futureistic design.
@@lancelotlink3907 yes, I can dig it but dig this, I was never a Ford man but as far as auto sex appeal goes, nothing was cooler looking than the Shelby line of Mustangs, 20 feet of hood, a FAST BACK design that was almost flat, today I would cut em both off to have a Boss (any CID) yellow with black secondary paint! The very best Detroit design studio effort ever And I am not a Ford fan but those cars were the hottest! Now , as far as we go my fellow muscle car enthuseist(?) goes ....DODGE RULES OVER PLYMOUTH every time. But just for fun in 1968 my neighbor had a slingshot small block dragster, i was 13 at that time, he would take me to Cordoba drag way and the US 30 Dragway and to this day I can still see DANDY DICK LANDY in his Super Stock Dodge running the track with his open face helmet and a long cigar in his mouth. Them was the days! But for you my friend we also pitted next to the legendary HEMI UNDER GLASS Cuda.
My wife actually came up with that idea before Ford. That is how the universe works: once a thought is thunk, it floats around looking for mind that will make it concrete. Careful what U wish for folks....😁
I'll take the 70 mustang Milano the 64 banshee and the 70 rapid transit out of all these. The Milano looks totally badass, they need to build one for us today with a 428 cobra jet in it.
The story behind the king Cobra is interesting. After Mopar debuted the winged warriors in nascar Ford and GM knew they had to do something to compete. Ford decided if you can't beat them then join them and developed the king Cobra. But at GM they took a different path and since the nascar was mainly run by former GM guys they pressured them to make aero cars illegal. It's things like that that makes me hate nascar and GM not to mention their cars are rolling scrap piles
It truly is a shame that magnificent designs like these never show up on the road and so often we end up with boring, nondescript, ho-hum production models.
and sometimes, a car company goes ALL OUT, and produces a phenomenal work of art and driving machine, like mazda did with their 3rd gen RX-7, and sold very very very few, even though the car out-competed cars 3 or 4 times its price, and with gorgeous, timeless, classic good looks to boot.
I always thought GM should have made Pontiac their performance brand. Most concept cars could have been made it to production. From big cars to small sports cars this could have worked but to many bean counters running the corp.
U R SO RIGHT, Bean counters running the show. Same went for Plymouth, Chrysler, Dodge. The Ram Charges designed and raced, the Scat Pack Studio made em sell (always look for the little Rumble Bee decale on the quarter glass) Dodge was my favorite but they got to expensive to find so I went back to next favorite, Poniiac where you could find good T/A s cheap until just a few years ago. Seems the old Vetts still havent gone up in price, if you even want one. Killing Pontiac was a fatal mistake for G M! Chevys were popular affordable cars as they were intended to be, Buick was legendary even Grand ma's Wildcat was beast like the Riveara but Pontiac ruled the G M corp. Except of course the Corvett which had some pathetic generations just like the Mustang did,.
I agree. Pontiac should have always been the "Well what about this?" division. They kind of did that with the Aztec, Lemans, and Vibe but never in a truly performance (power) way.
@@velocity5918 Oldsmobile was a brand that deserved to die. Chrysler, Cadillac, and Lincoln were luxury. Fiero was neat and like a Boxer or MR-2. The mid-engine Corvair only needed a brand change as the balance of a mid-engine avoided spinouts without deflating the front wheels.
The AutoZam Kei car from Japan is a 650CC 3-cylinder Suzuki gullwing door 2 seater mid-engine at 64 bhp. If you put a 1200 axle driven 4 cylinder water cooled BMW at 174 HP, or 1000CC Honda, or 750CC Honda, that would be a pocket rocket.
@@Douglas-yf6nb I don't think you mean Aztec. How about the Soltice instead? The Vibe did have a 195 hp six speed version starting in 2005 - the same engine/trans that Lotus used in their Elige, but way lighter. I have a 2003 Vibe as my daily driver. 225K miles and still going strong. Not exciting, but it still gets 32 mpg.
Also a lot of the Milano styling cues wound up on the 1972 Australian Ford Falcon XA GT coupe including Naca scoops and fender scoops. Also the fast back design.
I actually pulled the gauges out of a factory S&H replica Gran Torino back around 2010. I was blown away that it was in a junkyard and had no idea that it was factory ordered like that. Looked great too. I modified the gauges and used them as working gauges in my Chevy Van for a few years before switching them out and putting them up in a box for later.
Yes, they did. 69 in 1969 only, to be exact, and I believe a few made it into Corvettes that year as well. RPO ZL1 had the COPO 9561 427 CID aluminum engine. I’ve seen 1 of the 2 garnet red Camaros. My brother restored it for a collector on the east coast back in the ‘90s. At the time, there was only 1 garnet red car believed to be produced which was in the Floyd Garrett collection. Upon making his way thru layers of repaints and verifying the paint code, my brother uncovered the 2nd known garnet red COPO 9561 ZL1 Camaro. It was part of the Dick Bridges collection and featured in one of the muscle magazines of the times. An incredible unexpected find!
My ex father in law had an emerald green '69 ZL1 collecting dust in his garage in El Cajon, a suburb of San Diego. He moved to SD from N Hollywood due to health issues. He told me that the car used 4 tanks of gas which was hard to believe as it's only 125 miles. He passed away back in 2008 and his widow sold the car along with his professional tools for about $100k. It was a very easy resto.. just needed freshening up. Can only imagine what it's worth today..
I am so tired of people’s obsession with trucks and suvs I mean most of these suvs can’t even go off-road and they look so ugly, most of them don’t even have as much space as full size sedans
One of the 427 camaros race in Australia by Bob jane, in the early 70s, he brought in 2; one manual the other auto, the manual race car still exist today
If you are racing a rear drive automatic. It needs to act exactly the same as a stick shift. A friend of mine has one of each. Guess which one he lost control of left the road and tore up the under carriage? Oh and I have never had automatic engine last as long as a stick. The automatic adds heat to the engine and worsa vicsa.
Best looking pony car on this list in my opinion. I had a 69 AMX which bears a little resemblance to the rear quarters of this car. Had they gone with this design though, I'm sure it would have been a huge hit! Especially that deep plumb color!
Selling specially made cars wasn't how dealers made their money. They would pre-order plenty of 'almost as good' cars, because they knew most drivers couldn't drive the top of the line hemi engined cars easily on the street. So while you read about the Hemi Cuda, what you would find on the lot were 440 tri-power wedge engines. NO HEMIS.
The 60's and 70's production lineup that did get produced was adequate enough to keep people dreaming of the era, being older I got to drive or ride in most versions of muscle cars and whereas these people talked down the AMC Gremlin and admittedly it was not a pretty car but You could order it from the factory with a 401 cubic inch big block and a 4spd it was a monster of a car.
You could order it, but good luck in getting one. The wait list for performance special orders was long, plus add in the special 'dealer mark up' fees to get those cars. Most buyers couldn't afford to wait several months plus pay UP FRONT for the special dealer fees for those cars.
AMX 3 was a very cool concept. I immediately, saw resemblance to the Pantera. Some great concepts featured here. But why did manufacturers start making larger vehicles in the first place?? Had they kept making relatively smaller vehicles, maybe there wouldn't have been such an issue with oil and fuel shortages in the 70's.
It hasn't stopped. Cars are still getting bigger and heavier today. Compare a modern Corolla to a 1970's Corolla. It's really about marketing. If you have a 5 year old Corolla, why would you buy a new one if it didn't offer some real advantages? But if it has more legroom in the back and more luggage space...
Those taillight features based off Ford Milano changing color to green to signify the car accelerating...is truly a masterpiece design. Wish some performance muscle car took notes and adopted this fantastic feature! 😎
A Friend of mine had a "Reverse" Starsky & Hutch-mobile. His was Factory White with a Red Stripe (rather than Red with the white stripe) that he got from his Brother in Law. His Brother In Law was a Police Officer down in Houston who would buy a new vehicle, keep it for a couple of months, then get Rid of it. So my Friend's had very little miles/ no body damage/ and was pretty much like it came, straight from the Factory. WE, however, put a LOT of miles on it, LOL!
I remember in the 80s there was a prototype of a chevrolet minivan that could be 2 in 1 because it was a small car and joining as a minivan was a change for our times ahead of the future
I was a mere child by the end of the 70s but, coming from a poor family, the late 80s and early 90s were fairly kind to me. I, at least, was privileged to have driven at least half of those actual production cars. The cheaper half of course, lol.
As a child of the 70's my self in 83 when I could drive all of these cars were dirt cheap and owned many of them .My first car was a 71 Deamon duster I got for 100.00 bucks1983 in primer and a new exhaust in the back seat. 360 and she was fun at 16 it was too much of a car for me, now I wish I had 1/2 of the cars I have owned over the decades. Edit the car had to be sold to pay fines LOL
Lots of GM representation in this group of concepts, so 2 more to add in. The Hurricane, GTR X and EFIJ, fully functional, built on very low budgets and stunning. . As for the ones shown, well the AMC takes my vote. Thanks
Asymetric design can work so well and I wish it was played with more. The El Gato fuel cap is pretty cool. I think it also doubles as the reverse as well.
Some really cool designs! As far as concept cars fleshing out as production vehicles: It seemed Dodge started a trend of "concept as production precursor" after their Viper was put in production nearly identical to the concept, which brought A LOT of visibility to the brand.
Ford's Cougar II was a beautiful little fastback coupe based on the AC Shelby Cobra. It looked a bit like a slightly shrunken Corvette. Unfortunately, only the name made it to a production model.
that side line on that AMX 3 is peak auto styling. Stunning.
Love the El Gato! Such a beautiful, minimalistic car.
Wow. That AMX3 looks awesome, a real beauty. What a missed oportunity.. Love the El Gato! Such a beautiful, minimalistic car..
What I find truly sad is that alota these car designs are better than what we are seeing even now.😥
You just read my mind. Now car means SUV and coupes and sedans are rarities
Truth brother.

Amen!

AMC's AMX/3 should have been produced. I loved my three Javelins ,(68, 70 and 71) and 68 AMX. I'm still an AMC enthusiast, decades later
My bucket list car... check out the Prestone Javelin that was built...insane!!!!
Nice first name you have...😉
I love the "oddballs".
Biggest mistake they made. Not having produced it was, in the end, the reason for their demise.
It's a shame the AMX 3 was never produced in numbers. My God it's a beautifully designed car... WOW!

The vehicles needed added weight to go with the added horsepower. Gas was 28-32 cents.

The Milano was the biggest winner from my point of view. It's a pity the Milan looked nothing like it.
first video of your's i seen, and i'm totally on board; these were some super sick whips, thanks for sharing 🙏👹🖤
The craziest thing is that most cars actually looked at least relatively close to their concepts back then.. Now none of that happens.
I have pics of my mother in the Aero Vette. It was on display at the GMAD Fremont plant and the car was right outside her office window.
Fantastic video!!!
Glad you liked it!
If AMC would have came out with those cars and not had a issues with the pacer. They might be still around.
Great vid and nice bits of humor!

I grew up in Nowheresville, Missington and a neighbor owned a Starsky and Hutch Torino 10:31 More weird is that he purchased it used.
My favorite from this time was the Mercury Cougar II, a two-seater sports coupe.
Ford's Cougar II was a beautiful little fastback coupe based on the AC Shelby Cobra. It looked a bit like a slightly shrunken Corvette. Unfortunately, only the name made it to a production model.
AMX3 was soo stylish.
Some nice looking cars in this video. And a few that weren't so nice looking.
the "el gato" looks wonderfull
the pontiac banshee and the ZL1 were the nicest IMO
Gotta love concept cars , thougn its a shame that some never made it into production
Interesting video. Can you talk about Gr-1 on your next video? Thanks!
Out standing, sir!!!
The thumbnail car though 😍😎
The Banshee was an interesting concept car. Definitely see it in the Opel GT. Definitely beets the current SUV's being sold by GM and Ford.
