AJ’s Car of the Day: 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe

Car: Ford Mustang Coupe

Year: 1966

What makes it special: Ford’s first generation Mustang was produced for the 1964 through 1973 model years, and as it did, it grew wider, then larger. Mustang is credited with the creation of the “Pony Car” class, due to it’s long hood/short rear deck look. It inspired like models from GM, Chrysler and American Motors. When it first arrived, it was in hardtop and convertible style, eventually getting a fastback body version a few months later. The earlier Mustang shared its underpinnings with Ford’s compact Falcon model.

What made it famous: The 1966 model year Ford Mustang had a few trim changes than the prior year, including a new front grille, side chrome ornaments, hubcaps and gas-filler cap. The famed 289 HiPo K-code engine was offered with Ford’s new C-4 Cruise-o-matic automatic transmission. The transmission had stronger internal works and could be identified with the outer casing stamped with a “C.” The HiPo was known for its long duration solid-lifter camshaft and allowed the high-revving horsepower the 289 V8 was now known for.

Why I would want one: Actually, had one. Same thing….1966 Coupe. Loved it.

Fun fact: Ford Mustangs sold in Germany were sold under the name “T-5.”

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1968 Cadillac Eldorado

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1968 Cadillac Eldorado

Car: Cadillac Eldorado

Year: 1968

What makes it special: Cadillac’s Eldorado was a personal luxury car produced for the 1952 to 2002 model years, spanning just over ten generations. It was at or near the top of the Cadillac model line during the early model years.

What made it famous: The sixth generation Eldorado was completely redesigned for the 1967 model year and promoted as a personal Cadillac. It now shared its E-Body platform with Buick’s Rivietra and Oldsmobile’s Tornado. It now had front wheel drive in a unified powerplant package adapted to a standard Cadillac 429 V8 mated to a Turbo-Hydramatic 425 automatic transmission. Disc brakeswere an option, and it  now had standard safety equipment like an energy absorbing steering column and padded dashboard.

Why I would want one: It was probably the sportiest, most stylish Cadillac ever made. Also the beginning of Front wheel drive for Cadillac models.

Fun fact: GM’s Unified Powerplant Package was later shared with the GMC Motorhome beginning in 1972.

AJ’s “Badass Friday” Car of the Day: 1970 Buick Gran Sport 455 Stage-1 Coupe

AJ’s “Badass Friday” Car of the Day: 1970 Buick Gran Sport 455 Stage-1 Coupe

Car:

Year: 1970

What makes it special: Buick’s Gran Sport name has been used on several high-performance cars built since 1965. In the GM brands hierarchy, Buick was surpassed in luxury and comfort appointments only by Cadillac, which did not produce performance models. As a result, the Buick GS series were the most opulently equipped GM sport models of their era.  

What made it famous: The 400 was replaced for 1970 with the Buick 455 cu in V8 engine, used in the GS 455. The base model was rated at 350 bhp. The Stage 1 engine option used cylinder heads that, while using raw castings of the same pattern as all of the other Buick 455’s sharing the same model year, were machined differently in order to accept larger valves, and to produce smaller compression chambers for increased static compression ratio. The option also included a more aggressive camshaft, a specially tuned 4-barrel Quadra-Jet carburetor, more aggressive ignition timing, 5/8 inch oil pickup tube and a higher numerical final drive, and was available with either Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed automatic transmission, or a Muncie M-22 4-speed manual transmission. At the front, you had a silver-trimmed grille with a bold GS Stage-I emblem and a scooped hood, and at the back, you had Buick script between clear taillights set in a chrome bumper with a GS emblem. A rear deck and front chin spoiler was available.

Why I would want one: This is the ultimate Buick performance model, and the last performance models until the Buick Grand National made its debut in the mid-80’s.

Fun fact: There was also a rare “Stage 2” option produced. This was a dealer-installed package known as a “dealer option.” first offered in 1969. It included a cam, headers, intake manifold, high compression forged pistons, hollow pushrods, and some calibration changes to the ignition and carburetor

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1972 Plymouth Duster 340 Coupe

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1972 Plymouth Duster 340 Coupe

Car: Plymouth Duster 340
Year: 1972
What makes it special: Plymouth’s Duster was a semi-fastback two-door coupe version of their Valiant model, and produced for the 1970 to 1976 model years. It gave the buying public a sportier version of the Valiant. It shared the same body platform as the Valiant, but used different sheet metal from the front cowl back. The first year Dusters wore the Valiant badge, but it was removed starting with the 1971.
What made it famous: There were little changes to the Duster for the 1972 model year. New surface-mount sidemarker lights replaced the previous flush mount, the taillights were now larger and one-piece. The 340 V8’s power rating went from 275bhp to 245 bhp due to a reduction in its compression ration from 12.2:1 to an 8.5:1. All horsepower ratings numbers were decreased for 1972 due to a new rating protocol. Electronic ignition became standard on the 1972 340 models as well.
Why I would want one: I’ve always loved and wanted a Duster to this day. They are awesome for a street machine build.
Fun fact: There was a one-year-only air cleaner that had a vacuum operated door at the bottom to allow for more air flow when the throttle is depressed.
