Coolest cars of the 1970's
Across
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 15. It was stylish, lightweight and incredibly fun to drive. This convertible model is up for bidding right now on eBay.
- 18. Taken from the 911T, the motor made this baby Porsche into a serious performer.
- 20. The 1970s saw Porsche's first turbocharged 911, with widner fenders, a big wing, and a whole lot of power.
Down
- 1. Fiat's quirky mid-engine '70s sports car was designed by Bertone, and still looks great today.
- 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. 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. First hit production in 1975, sporting stunning looks and a magnificent V-12 engine
- 6. The RX-7 first hit dealerships in 1978, amassing a large following thanks to its lightweight body and wonderful rotary sound.
- 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.
- 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.
- 9. The first Challenger made its debut in 1970, and it remains one of the coolest vintage muscle cars you can own.
- 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.
- 12. The 2002 was around before the '70s, but its most desirable non-turbocharged trim, the "tii," didn't come around until 1971.
- 16. Dominated Le Mans in the early 1970s with its 917 race car, spawning different variants like the 917/20 shown here.
- 17. The 928 was originally supposed to replace the 911 as Porsche's flagship vehicle.
- 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.
