  1. 5. It has a classic GT profile, and sports some incredibly cool headlight shrouds that drop down out of view when you flip the bulbs on.
  2. 10. It had a V-8 like a muscle car, and sounded wonderful. They're pretty hard to find these days, and when they do come up for sale, they're incredibly expensive.
  3. 13. The 3.0 CSL was a homologation special built by BMW based on its 3.0 CSi grand tourer. The "L" stood for lightweight, representing all the weight-saving measures BMW took to make the car as nimble as possible.
  4. 14. ut it was sold until 1978, so we'd say it counts. Stylish looks and a wonderful straight-six engine are just some of the reasons why people love it.
  5. 15. It was stylish, lightweight and incredibly fun to drive. This convertible model is up for bidding right now on eBay.
  6. 18. Taken from the 911T, the motor made this baby Porsche into a serious performer.
  7. 20. The 1970s saw Porsche's first turbocharged 911, with widner fenders, a big wing, and a whole lot of power.
Down
  1. 1. Fiat's quirky mid-engine '70s sports car was designed by Bertone, and still looks great today.
  2. 2. Chevrolet introduced the second-gen Camaro in 1970, with wildly new looks. People loved it, and examples like this one are now extremely desirable.
  3. 3. It seems like the G-Wagen has been around since the beginning of time, but really, it got its start in the late 1970s.
  4. 4. First hit production in 1975, sporting stunning looks and a magnificent V-12 engine
  5. 6. The RX-7 first hit dealerships in 1978, amassing a large following thanks to its lightweight body and wonderful rotary sound.
  6. 7. Chevy offered some big-power engines, and the looks are top-notch. This one is painted in a lovely shade of green, and it's up for bidding right now on eBay.
  7. 8. Is perhaps the most recognizable vintage rally car of all time, sporting a distinctive wedge shape, a deeply curved windshield, and some period-correct pop-up headlights.
  8. 9. The first Challenger made its debut in 1970, and it remains one of the coolest vintage muscle cars you can own.
  9. 11. The Celica takes a lot of its design from American muscle cars of the time, but really, it's just a fraction of the size. Still, the looks worked, and it drove great.
  10. 12. The 2002 was around before the '70s, but its most desirable non-turbocharged trim, the "tii," didn't come around until 1971.
  11. 16. Dominated Le Mans in the early 1970s with its 917 race car, spawning different variants like the 917/20 shown here.
  12. 17. The 928 was originally supposed to replace the 911 as Porsche's flagship vehicle.
  13. 19. Like the Datsun, production for the Mach 1 actually started in 1969, but was sold until '78. It's a true 1970s car, and one of the coolest muscle cars ever made.
