I'm in SE Canada and the 1970s my grandmother would take a bunch of us to the beach. She had a red Ford Tornio with black Naugahyde seats or maybe vinyl but it was jet black. She had a fake leopard skin blanket over it. When my cousin would jump in first and move it and then I got in wearing 1970s short shorts that we all wore, boys or girls, my leg skin would fry!

Older cars rusted out in a few years, barely made it to 100,000 miles, burned gas like crazy, needed a tune up every 10,000 miles with parts that don’t exist on cars now, the drum brakes were garbage, and they were incredibly unsafe in accidents due to their construction and lack of safety features.

Bud, American cars in the 70's and 80's were SLAPPED together, with no care for quality or economy. You'll get a new Oldsmobile and the door would rattle, the belts would squeak, it would smell funny, even look at the brake pedal and the wheels would lock up, turning would cause the whole car you lunge to one side like you're driving a boat, and I'm pretty sure you'd be able to watch the gas gauge move on idle

Bought it used in high school junior year. $425.00 in 1974. Dad told all his kids--3 girls, one boy that we could get cars if we paid for them, insured them and paid for repairs. This daughter changed the oil, changed a flat--when spares were REAL, and once fit a refrigerator in it and drove back to college with one arm on the wheel and one arm slung over the compressor of the fridge.

That slow start after the hitting the gas pedal tells me two things: 1. The carb accelerator pump is faulty (plausible). 2. The carb float bowl was dry, and required priming by turning the engine over to pump fresh fuel into it (most likely). Hot day + hot car + bad evaporative fuel = no fast start. These cars were engineered to run on pure gasoline, not the crap ethanol blends we're forced to use. BTW - love this car!

When I was a kid in the 90's there was someone who owned a 1970's Oldsmobile Cutlass who would park on our street, which doesn't sound very interesting except it was the only American car I had seen before in my little Scottish town. That thing was about a mile long despite being a two door and had trouble finding parking spots that fit. It was golden brown like autumn leaves with a white leathery roof, the car may have been the colour of fresh baby shit but it was gorgeous.

Ahhhh, back in the 90s to early 2000s I had an 80 Delta 88 4 door, only year the 307 V8 had the conventional HEI and quadrajet. After 5 years of that cloud on wheels, I got another 4 door Delta 88, an 84 for a mere $2000. By 2002 and a better job, I moved up to a Chevy truck that cost a little more but those 10 years I had two Delta 88s, those were reliable, easy to work on, not bad on gas,good resale cars. Seems like a long time ago. Hmmm , seems like I removed the slot machine multi pin noise box. I know I did on the truck, drove me nuts. Nice ride in the video.

Recently I took a 120 mile round trip cruising 80 MPH on the interstate with no issues, and it was a lot of fun. Especially when paired with the Rocket 307, these can be great cars with just some basic maintenance.
