cars of the 1970s had to struggle with performance-robbing emissions

 The 1979 Pontiac 10th Anniversary Trans Am has emerged as a 1970s classic. See more pictures of classic cars. |
The 1970-1974 Plymouth Barracuda Coupes brought down the curtain on the muscle-car age in style. The 1971 Opel Manta Coupe showed you didn't need a big engine to have big fun. And the 1976 Pontiac Firebird Limited Edition Trans Am proved high performance wasn't really dead, after all.
