Question on Gen 1s?

Featured Replies

Just doing a simple survey.

 

How many of you have, or know of in still in existence, (not in a salvage yard), any Gen 1/ stage 1 or 2, AUTOMATIC transmission car? (Any body style). Obviously they would all be 2WD, as the 4WDs were all 4 speeds.

 

Just trying to get a feel of the rarity of these cars.

 

Thanks all!

Still have that '78 - FINALLY got the stupid engine out of it like a week ago. Tranny is still up for grabs if you want/need it. I'm going to pull it and keep it around just in case anyone ever needs it....

I see one regularily here in Prescott. Best part is,it's owned by an old lawyer. He's had it since birth. Stock yellow wagon.

Hmm...seems like yellow was the color for many of the automatics! (Including mine)

 

 

I know they were not the best sellers back when they all were new. So I would imagine there are only a handful still on the road.

What is with these holes in the blocks! My 78 had a thrown rod. I have seen a few others with that golf ball size hole right behind the distrib. Guess that's the weakness with high mileage, age and no oil!
