Holy shit. They called the 'Bird a turd. Ignorant? Instant awesome and collectible. Nice spelling of Gotham you assholes
the only on call hoodscoop I can think of on any car ever made. Their sarcasm aside, it was cool, tuff, and boss
Contrarily, I think the 71 Barracuda was very good looking due to the grill and gills
Looks like a Duster, and yeah, it's paint wasn't high quality, because the Duster was about the cheapest car you could by from Plymouth
Might be a jargon term, but "Limp"? Dimple maybe
thanks to J for sending me this from the March 1971 Hot Cars and High Performance Stockers
Super turds from Gothan City! I want to hire this guy to guest blog for us!
ReplyDelete"Limp"? Maybe they meant to write lip? Anyway, to me it looks like someone from brand X was slamming Mother MoPar because they didn't like the fact that Chrysler Corp. was basically handing them their collective asses at the assorted racing events. Hey, I just say, ya know?
ReplyDeleteWhat's REALLY odd is that they are a year late on the Superbird comment. The model was already discontinued!!!
ReplyDeleteDamn Scooter, you're right. And just think, if you are lucky enough to have one of these limited number (lemon) Superbird's in your possession it's worth a fortune today. Even with the crappy economy.
DeleteThey actually slammed all of Detroit's auto makers.....I was only interested in the Chrysler Corp. section.
ReplyDeleteWell who ever "They" were, I'll bet they're eating crow now. ;-]]
ReplyDeleteThe guy that wrote the "Lemons" article went by the stage name: Seymore Balz.
ReplyDeleteNo where do I see his real identity revealed.
