Can you Name these Red ’70s Cars?

por Mitzi Packer (2023-07-04)


The 1970s were certainly an interesting time for motoring! At times, cars were the last things on peoples' minds, especially during the oil crisis in 1973. And just as in the '60s, times certainly were changing. While some people didn't care in particular what car they drove, others loved their cars, sometimes more than their significant others! The decade of disco gave us many different styles of cars, not only from American carmakers, including the Big Three of Chrysler, Ford and Chevrolet, but also from abroad. Japanese cars started to make an impact in the United States, and like in the '50s and '60s, those beautiful European designs continued to come into the U.S. And the popularity of muscle cars continued to grow, even though the early models of the decade were hampered by the oil crisis. So, in this quiz, your knowledge of cars from the 1970s needs to be top-notch, because we cover all bases. And of course, they are all red, because nothing beats a red car, right?


Can you name this 1970s 4x4? The first 4x4 Bronco hit the trails in 1966. Between that year and 1997, it proved to be a more than capable off-roader. Blessed with a turning circle of just 34 feet, thanks to a wheelbase of 92 inches, later models also included a Ford V8 engine with incredible torque. Produced by the American Motors Corporation between 1968 and 1970, the AMX was a GT-style sports car. It featured a two-door coupe-styled body and had six different engine options, all V8s of varying size. AMXs came with either a four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. A utility coupe produced by Ford from 1957 to 1979, the Ranchero was actually adapted from a station wagon design. Over 500,000 Rancheros were sold in the 22 years it was produced. What car does it belong to? Created as a high-speed racing machine especially for NASCAR, the Superbird was also offered for sale to the public.


The first models appeared in 1970 and were instantly recognizable, thanks to the massive spoiler on the back. Can you identify it? Produced for a decade, between 1970 and 1980, the Pinto was a Ford model in the subcompact car segment. It had three body styles - a two-door sedan, a station wagon and a three-door hatchback. The Pinto was popular, with Ford producing three million by 1980, when it was replaced by the Ford Escort. Can you name this vehicle? Since its inception in 1974, the Golf has gone from strength to strength. In fact, Volkswagen’s tagline, "The People’s Car," easily moved from the aging Beetle to this vehicle. The Golf is still a popular model around the world today, with the performance version, the GTi, standing out. Can you name it? The Fiesta was originally made for the European and other world markets, with the model first produced in 1976. It remains a popular model today.  C onte᠎nt h as been g᠎en er᠎at ed by GSA Con te nt Generator D᠎em oversi on​.


This luxury two-door saloon was produced by Rolls Royce between 1975 and 1986. It was designed by the legendary Pininfarina design house in Italy, with Paolo Martin as the lead designer. Interestingly, this was the first Rolls Royce not designed by the company itself since World War II. Can you name this one? This full-sized station wagon was produced by Chevrolet over two periods - first from 1958 to 1961 and again from 1969 to 1972. It was an entry level station wagon, built for six or nine passengers. Released between 1976 and 1986, Jeep’s CJ-7 was one of the most popular off-roaders available during those 10 years. It had a large 93.3-inch wheelbase which, coupled with a three-speed gearbox, meant the Jeep went places other 4x4s had trouble getting to. The top of the range CJ-7 was powered by a 304-cubic-inch V8. Any ideas as to what it is? This content was w​ri tten with GSA C᠎on te nt  Gen erator᠎ D᠎emoversi on.


The American Motors Corporation produced the subcompact class Gremlin between 1970 and 1978. A number of models were produced, but the Gremlin powered with either a 5.0-liter or 6.6-liter V8 is sometimes considered to be a muscle car. The Ford Mustang Mach 1 was powered by a 5.7-liter, 6.4-liter or 7.0-liter V8 engine, which produced just over 300 brake horsepower. This Mustang configuration was available as a performance upgrade from 1969 onward. The Dodge Adventurer was a version of the Dodge D-Series pickup, marketed by Dodge from 1968 to 1971. By 1970, there were three Adventurer models for customers to choose from - the base model, the Sport and the SE. The Challenger was first introduced in 1970 as a muscle car. The top of the range model from this era was powered by a 7.0-liter Chrysler Hemi engine. A "super truck" of sorts, more than 5,000 Lil' Red Express Trucks were sold in 1978 and 1979. And it's not difficult to understand why.
