high impact colors with small engines
back when these high impact colored cars were available new, the vast majority of buyers wanted to look sporty or look fast without the hassel from the insurance co! not everyone opted to buy the higher hp engines, but if they had a favorite color then that is what they ordered.
I had a friend that ordered new a 70 roadrunner, slime green, with a three speed! his dad wouldn't let him have a 4 speed. little did dad ever know JR quickly changed it over to a 4 speed!! LOL
