Nor I but they were okay popcorn flicks. Hollyweird was batting around the idea of rebooting the franchise not too long ago. Not sure whether it got the go ahead or not. Really wish they could leave well enough alone.

nope. the 60's cars were equal to our falcons, and the 70's were closer to the mustang.

they got the same mix match as we did for the 60's, 6 cylinders, 289's and 302's.
in the 70's they got the 351C's.
i would imagine you could order one with a six or 2 barrel 302 though
