The Corvette Stingray was still a good car back then before emissions standards f-ed them up. The 240Z was also nice.

I was born in 77, so I would take an old Smokey & The Bandit Trans Am from that year...

All unbelieveably slow compared to their 60's counterparts. The Vette's most powerful engine made 270 at the crank and it was the most powerful and lightest GM performance car available in '73.

If I literally have to choose a car I would pick the 1980 Datsun 280ZX:





If I can pick a vehicle it would be the 1980 Jeep CJ-7:

For me, despite the fact that it is slow, and actually kind of shitty to drive, horribly inefficient in every way possible, too wide, uncomfortable, and a damn brick; it's still iconic and gives zero f*cks:

1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400S
