If you want your own, I saw this one last week on the street in Boulder. I didn’t take a picture, but the ad was easy to find.
(If it gets taken down, it is a very rough 1970 El Camino for “$5,00” firm.)
And a Nova, I think, behind it.
Someone in my city used to have an El Camino with a cap. Looked like a hearse.
After dinner with my wife’s sister tonight we found 2 green Outbacks parked… out back. Mine is on the left, and some other guy’s is on the right.
I saw a Saturn Sky convertible roadster on the commute. I didn’t know Saturn made these. Apparently only a few model years.
I didn’t see this today but within a week ago I saw a classic trans am. I really need to keep myself from wanting to race people sometimes.
A nice red 2024 Tesla S Plaid.
Oh yeah, those where the dream car of your 1970’s teenager. You could get a 455 cu in engine.
Of course the Road Runner with a Hemi was right up there too.
Plaid is an interesting model name, but I think I’m missing some reference. Plaid? OK.
Deleted. The YouTube bug is affecting this post.
It’s from the movie Spaceballs, which apparently is one of Elon Musk’s favorites. There’s ludicrous speed which is crazy fast, and then there is plaid speed which is even faster. The plaid icon resembles how it was depicted in the movie.
Ahh. Thanks. I’ve seen parts of the movie. I should watch it.
I keep trying to include a video link to the scene, but the bug keeps preventing it. Here are the search results. Any of the top hits should suffice for a quick video of it ➜ YouTube ludicrous speed plaid speed - Google Search
A friend of mine had a Trans Am like that. Apparently it was a Smokey and the Bandit replica. I’m not sure how that’s different than the stock version, but he ended up selling it to someone in a different part of the country, so I assume there was something special about it.
My parents, just before I was born, had a Firebird (dad didn’t want a Trans Am because he didn’t want the decal on the hood). He’s since maintained that it’s the only time he’s ever seen a white Firebird with a white interior (and a t-top)(and a baby seat).
They’ve gone to plaid.
Second generation, only made for three years ('72 - 74).
I saw a '79 silver one this weekend; T-tops, too.
I’d like to get the story on how that tank-filling outlet came to happen (both from a design as well as a engineering POV) …
I can visualize a phone-call in FORD HQ in the 1970ies … (get yourself into a Gary Larson state of mind)
John, you never gonna guess what Jim completely forgot in the design of the new van…
That chrome cap has got to be for an auxiliary fuel tank; the main filler is on the rear corner by the taillight. The filler was in that same general area on the corner until the third generation.

Love it!
It is a nice truck. But I still can’t believe F150s are that big.
