Not a proud era for automobiles in general. There's a few goodys that came out of that but not many. I could count them on both hands vs now or 60s models which I could turn into Jay Leno with if given the $ and space!
I agree. I feel fortunate to have been an older teenager...young man...during the muscle car era of the late '60's to and about 1972/73.
Quite true from the early '70's to late '80's there wasn't much available that IMO, could compete with the golden era of musclecars.
The later '80's Buick GNX turbo 3.8 V6 comes to mind, but other than late 80's Mustang/Camaro/Firebird V8's....it was a dry period for performance.
