26 Comments on Vintage Cars Showcased on old The Price Is Right Episodes
My wife loves watching the Game Show Network with a lot of people who are long dead. And she gives me hell for watching old TV westerns.

Off topic; but, butt … is CumAllahLa sober today?

Johnny, tell them what they’ve won.
Why, you’ve won the tax bill on this new car!

Wouldn’t it be a nice gesture if that bad orange man were to ask at the debate, (when CumAllahLa interupts,) “Have you considered sobriety?”

Even in 1973 I would have passed on the Gremlin. Unless the alternative was a Pacer which actually didn’t come out until a couple of years later.

LOL! Gimme a friggin break most of those cars were POS’s except for the VW Beetles. I’d bet that Barker’s beauties have aged better than those cars have. And who in their right mind would want to win a lousy Chevy Vega or an AMC Gremlin.

And that Chevy Corvette was one of the worst one’s ever built in the early 70’s after GM quit building real muscle cars and replaced them with emasculated weenie detuned, gutless engines and transmissions during the first Arab oil embargo in 1973. It may have looked cool, but it really wasn’t.

In 1975 (1st year for the cat and lean burn) V8s didn’t put out much more than about 120HP.
Ford still had the 460 which we called the street sweeper – – when you floored the damn thing it just went fffffffffff and blew the leaves off off the street and on to the tree lawn.

I’d take the dune buggy.
Just think – all of them have been recycled into Toyotas, then Hondas, and finally into Kias.

These are vintage cars? Aw dang, I am old.

Anything post 1970 is a pile of crap smog machine.

The Chevy Vega…… ONE step up from the Chevy Chevette!
FKH

I didn’t watch but I do remember a Chevy Wagon/camper combo they gave away. It was a gooseneck camper that attached to the roof at the rear door pillar for strength. Seems like it would have been late sixties.

I would love a vintage Rachel Reynolds or Manuela from TPIR…

1974 last good year for CJ5s.
VW 1303 (Super beetle.) Nope.
Camaro. Nope.
Capri w/ V6- A tank.
Hodaka- Hell yes!
Vega? Only if Cosworth or Yenko.

The Volkswagen Thing runs about $19,000 now.

While in the Air Force I was stationed in Roswell, NM and shared an apartment with Holmes Tuttle’s son Paul. A hell of a nice guy one would never suspect was a millionaire. He had an uncle who owned the Courtesy Chevrolet chain too.

We used to jokingly refer to Chevettes as shove its. A friend of mine had one and it was a POS that we had to shove more than once to get it to run, his wife finally made him get rid of that POS. They didn’t show a Mazda GLC (great little car) which we called Glucks which were junkers as well.

The Mustang & T-bird were great – it quickly went downhill from there

Chevy Vegas used to rust out sitting on the showroom floor.

Not the ones in the showroom. The ones on the lot.

Chevy should’ve improved and kept the Corvair and never built Vega’s which were an automotive abortion.

I’m dealing with an ALDL Chevy for a customer right now.
It’s a fucking Windsor, or Cleveland, and I don’t fucking care. It’s a piece of shit. I’m not against ALDL, I’m against 351s that suck.
I’m also against working on cars and trucks that are worth less than your t-shirt.
Al wanted to give 3000 for the truck. I wouldn’t give you ten dollars for it.

Dude those are Ford motors. You sure you’re not wonton a VW?

I had a Vega. Before I had to get rid of it, I could watch the road under my feet.

Back in the early 80s a buddy and me would have fun going to a used car. If we spotted a Vega we’d look interested until the sales reptile slithered out, then one of us would rap on the body and say: “this looks like a solid one”… then target the top of the front fender over the front wheel and rap on it. Usually the Bondo would drop out and leave a gaping hole!
Oh… Did I mention wearing running shoes?
