Vintage(about 70’s) Cars and My Opinion

I don’t know how about you, but vintage cars always attracted me. I think, vintage cars are the most beautiful cars in whole world. Of course, it isn’t so fast or powerful as today cars, but that’s repurchased by their beauty. In this article I will show you the most beautiful vintage cars from Australia, Europe and America continents.

                      Firstly, Australian cars. I think, the most beautiful would be “Holden Monaro 1973 HQ Original GTS”. It was the first Holdens SS, it was transformed by sports wheels, GTS grille, side vents, blackouts, black boot panel and unusual bonnet stripes from the headlights to the front scuttle panel. There are some characteristics of this car: The engine has 6 cylinders and is V8. The capacity of engine is from 2640cc to 5700cc. What about the power? 80-186kW. I think it was very powerful then(and now).

                      There is no question about Americans vintage car. Of course it is a Ford Mustang 70‘. In 1970 Ford replaced the 428 Cobra Jet engines with the new 429 Cobra Jet engines. The 429 Cobra Jet was rated at 370 horse power while the Super Cobra Jet had 11.3:1 compression and was rated at 375 horse power. The Mustang was slightly redesigned but the most noticeable was the change back to single headlights. They were still in the grille opening and were the outside headlights used to be there was now simulated air intakes. The taillight panel was flat instead of the concave panel used in the previous years. For 1970 the Mustang also received the 351-cid Cleveland V-8 engine.

                      European has BMW 2500. In my opinion, it is a monster, not a car. The 2500 was powered by a 2494 cc in-line, water-cooled 6-cylinder engine, designed by Alex von Falkenhausen. With a 86 mm bore and a 71 mm stroke, the engine claimed 150 hp at 6000 rpms. So, BMW has always distinguished himself in power.

                      In conclusion, I think vintage cars was powerful and the most important thing – beautiful. There are a lot of beautiful cars nowadays, but all of them is sport style, so I think, the most beautiful are vintage(about 1970’) cars.
