Easy there, tiger. "Early '70s" is a bit iffy with respect to these things... The last really good looking Mustang was built in 1970, in '71 it became bigger and bloatier and not as nice (I know, I had one) and was largely unchanged body-wise in '72 and '73 but with ever decreasing engine output due to emissions controls and then in '74 it went super fugly primariliy due to the fuel crisis. For comparisons sake: 1971/2/3 http://www.perogie.com/72ready.jpg 1974-77 http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~bmclean/pics/77ghia.jpg (this is a '77, but you get the idea). Similar (although less disturbing, aesthetically) story with the Dodge Charger, too. Last nice one was prolly the '71, it went bloaty in '72 -- | Wik -UKRMHRC#10- 2000 ZX12R-A1 -DC#1 -'FOT#0 'FOF #39 - BOD#12 BOB#12 |# You don't believe me | "Experience is the worst teacher. |That the scenery | It always gives the test first |Could be a cold-blooded killer. | and the instruction afterward." ***** human response from wik at blueyonder dot co dot uk *****
Lozzo was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever: Hmm? A proper Carerra RS doesn't have any refinements.
Timo Geusch said.... Thinking about it, I think the same model was called the Carerra RS over here, it was based around the body/powerplant of the refined Carerra, whatever that was called. It was so de-refined that there was none of the sound deadening or seam sealer that you find on normal cars, and no underseal where you'd find it on the refined version. It was seriously lightweight for a Porsche and went like stink when I was taken for a drive in it. -- Lozzo ZZR1100D, GPZ500S, CB250RS x3 BOTAFOT#57/70a, BOTAFOF#57, two#49, MIB#22, TCP#7, BONY#9, ANORAK#9, DIAABTCOD#14, UKRMT5BB, IBW#013, MIRTTH#15a/16, BotToS#8, GP#2, SBS#10, SH#3, DFV#14, KoBV#3.

[belatedly] There was one for sale at the London Lotus Centre in Welham Green a coupla months ago. About £11k they wanted for it, IIRC. White it was (bleugh!). Want me to swing by there and see if it's still there? It's kinda on the way home. -- | Wik -UKRMHRC#10- 2000 ZX12R-A1 -DC#1 -'FOT#0 'FOF #39 - BOD#12 BOB#12 |# You don't believe me | "Experience is the worst teacher. |That the scenery | It always gives the test first |Could be a cold-blooded killer. | and the instruction afterward." ***** human response from wik at blueyonder dot co dot uk *****
