+1 I used to have an orange Fiesta and it was great. I think the wheels were 12-13", really tiny but fun to drive. I can't recall the actual economy, but it ran circles around my other car, an MGB.

That's a sexy car, Bob.
I guess I already have a 70's car in my garage, huh? |

Not exactly in the theme of the '70s gas crisis, but this is what I learned to drive in and would rock another one in a heart beat. Purchased in 1973, it was the first new car my parents ever owned.
AMC Javelin

good choice . If I remember right some of them had V.W. engine . We had a '90 FESTIVA with 3 speed auto and a '93 with a 5 speed manual . These were actually a MAZDA 121 ( 1.3 ltr. engine ) produced in MEXICO . Great little cars , the 1.3 ltr. can take serious punsihment . Seen it in person , felt pity for that '88 FESTIVA , still managed to make it to 150,000 + miles , amazing . to the 1.3 .

due to '79 > '80 winter had to get a loan to pay the oil bill , took quite a while to pay it off . Drove an automatic DODGE Dart with slant 6 at that time . Did quite well in the snow for a rear wheel drive . Fun car to drive . Wasn't very good about maintaining a car or practiced good driving habits in those days . Life is a learning process .

I'd buy a Mazda Rx3 with the rotary engine. A gas guzzling fun machine. I'd romp the gas and redline it every chance I got just to make all the gas misers angry, muahahahaha!!

My first vehicle was a 1978 chevy stepside pickup with a shortbed.
It had a 383 stroker motor with a posi rearend. My parents hated it. I wish I still had that truck it was the most dangerous thing I've ever owned lol. |
