who is into "later" cars

Since I started into this hobby I have been surrounded by late 60s era cars. I never had a chance to get much into the "later" cars which are typically defined as 73+.

I have heard things over the years against these cars such as "beak cars" as being used as a derogatory term as well as "thick bumper cars" "Smog cars" "plastic interior cars"

Well I finally got my break and scored my lifetime second 74 duster, and I am really starting to get into the "later" cars.

They are not typically thought of as muscle cars but when you step back and look at the demands of times and the engineering that went into these cars.....its amazing. They really got innovative and tried a lot of new things....some worked and some didn't. People tend to focus on the negative and focus on what didn't work such as "lean burn" which proved more problematic than anything. What about the things that did work such as a truly remarkable electronic ignition system. Absolutely outstanding for the times, it would change tunes ups forever.

The plastic in the interior was really innovative for the times. They were trying something new and getting past that tin box feel of the 60s. Which was refreshing for the times and effective in getting the buying public into forward thinking and more comfortable, quiet and reliable cars. All while being forced to contend with government demands.

Who else is into the 73-80 era ?? I know there some really slick dart sports on here :)
