    That’s awesome that you took regular 70s cars instead of all v8 swapped like the cool kids do. I think more classics should stay l6

    This is an absolutely awesome lineup of “normal” cars from the era. Great photo!

    Did y’all average the fuel economy? I had an Early Bronco with the 170 and 3 on the tree that averaged 17-20 in mixed short drives.

    This is screaming tell me you’re a Top Gear/The Grand Tour fan without telling me you’re a Top Gear/The Grand Tour fan.

    Hammond: “The producers have given us $12,000 to buy an American car made between 1970 and 1980. Except that it had to have a 6-cylinder engine.”

    Clarkson: “Yep, and we would be undertaking an 850 mile journey. Where we will face many perils…..”

    On today’s Top Gear. Jeremy yells at a opossum… Richard spills his his drink… and James talks to a girl.

    Dad had a 74 (I think) Valiant /6 light blue. I remember it ran on the hot side. Little work horse.
    Keep em rolling….
