Looks like a Hot Wheels car. Is that a hippie coffin on the roof?

I have a soft spot for those AMC cars. My first car was a Hornet station wagon, and it had a 304 8-cyl in it. Way too much engine for that little car. Or, was it? :D

Those 79+ Eagles were the bomb. So light with the very capable 4x4 drive. We used to go 4 wheeling in the river bottoms S of town. It's the most silty, mirey clay you can imagine. My friend Mark had a Baja Bug, and our buddy's had a Brat and a Spirit. When the big heavy trucks would sink and get stuck, we'd tandem up a couple of the little ones and pull em out for $20 a pop.

Who knew they made a Chevelle hatchback? (no one, heavily modified this one is)

I always thought that body style looked like a hatch.

I lived in the town where Fred Gibb ordered some big block, stripped down Camaros in 1969. The current population is about 1500 people and it blows my mind to think that such a small town, in the middle of nowhere western Illinois was the place to get those.

I love muscle cars, but these are totally ground zero for me. Win the lottery,  I'm getting an early GT350 or Boss 302. Though I do like Z28s and Javelins, also.

Those AMX Javelins are mostly under the radar in the muscle car world. Many years ago Alabama state troopers drove the police interceptor version of those. I don't know the horsepower but it was the 401 c.i. engine.
