Re: 1970's Street Machines
HOLY HELL! I am in love with the look of this 70!
 This Corvette looks badass! Wish there were more pics of it.

What a great time. </div></div> Been there hundreds of times. But we were too poor to have the engine crane, it was 2x6s, chain, and come-a-longs. I remember putting Muncies together with a flashlight so we could drive that night...

Re: 1970's Street Machines
I wish I had enough sense to carry a camera with me on the hundreds of Friday and Saturday nights we spent cruising Porky's and the Sun Drive in, Hennipen Ave, Excelsior Blvd, Snelling Ave, etc in Mpls and St. Paul in the 70's and 80's. The thousands of cars that attended would be so neat to look at now.

Re: 1970's Street Machines
Wow, great site that brings back a bunch of memories of good times being a teen in the 70's.
Anybody notice how "pie eyed" some of the guys and gals looked in some of these pictures. As Rick said above, if we were only smart enough to take a camera! There is a youtube video that I stumbled upon titled "Cruising Forest Lane Dallas-1977" that was taken by some guys that did bring a camera and it really could have been filmed anywhere in that time as we pretty much did the same things here in the Midwest. I apologize for not linking the video (computer illiterate)but if someone could, it would be much appreciated.......Scot

Re: 1970's Street Machines
Yes, that is the one Kurt! Thanks for posting it!
The quality is pretty bad with no sound sometimes but some of the cars are pretty cool!

Re: 1970's Street Machines
I think EVERY town had a 68-74 Nova that looked exactly like this when I was a teenager in the 1980s.
