@ROCKYLIFE: Yeap. Disagreeing with post-catch beatdowns sure sounds like internet tough-guy stuff.
Thing is, employees for other "businesses" (which the police force is NOT) are held accountable for their shitty attitudes.
Maserati are German?
@skaz: and it's not even new :(
STupid old posts.
@POLAЯMISSESEVEЯYBODY: Po-...lar? I haven't been posting here as long as you haven't!
@skaz: Well, almost. It only has two V8s...
@FutureCarDesigner: Ask and ye shall receive.
That same car almost broke my silence, as well.. but I was busy. Truly busy, which is why I haven't been posting.
I'm just glad to see everyone still loves these magnificent jalopies.
Wow, Jalopnik got big.
I don't get to read as much, but I'm very glad to see Jalopnik doin' its best to keep the joint classy.
I still read comments every day, though, so you guys keep it up.
That's not a '71, with the vents on the trunk instead of the C-pillar.
The evil Satellite will always get my vote, for it has slave-like control over me.
ALL HAIL HYPNOTOAD.. er.. SATELLITE!
@Mike the Dog: Is that your car, really? For sale?
Anyways, I do care how I look in a car. But my idea of cool seems to be as hopelessly broken as the Jalopnik guys'. I'd feel like the coolest guy on the street in an AMC Eagle and I already do in my flat black El Camino.
I may have a problem where I think anything but outwardly cool cars are awesome.
@no_slushbox: Agreed. This shit was terrible.
I think it looks fantastic.
Yet, somehow I feel it should be a Buick. I guess it'd be okay as long as they never slapped the name "Geely" on it and simply badge it "GT."
I'm so glad this popped up. I've got a new job where I don't get to be on the computer 24 hours a day, I need something internet-related to squander my days upon.
I've owned two of these, a '73 and a '74 (which I still have) and I'm glad to see the responses to this post are more positive than the last several Maverick posts.
I knew the car would grow on people. And don't forget, they started making these things in 1970, before malaise hit, with 302s. So find one of those and you have a car that weighs a little more than a Pinto with a pretty venomous V8.
I would've thought he'd go with calling it the Brat.
I asked around. The yard is closed but a lot of cars were moved to another lot, at least according to the old guy that works next door.
Said he goes there frequently and the guys do great business, even know where most stuff is. If I can get a current location I'll probably go next weekend, Maricopa is only about 20 miles away.
I dunno, I stared at it for about 6 minutes and decided that I really like it except for everyone forward of the windshield. The wrap-around window and retrotivity actually make it a good looking car to me.
@B: Well, then the reveal would have to be 17 minutes long to accommodate a Genesis song.
And this car is seriously growing on me. Maybe I missed it somewhere else, but do we have pricing at all on these?
@Murph: Now that I've seen that car I'm on a mission to raise the back end of my El Camino very high.
And paint my exhaust in the color of "rust."
