The Mercury Cyclone started life as a performance version of the compact Falcon based Mercury Comet, but by 1970 it was its own model built on the mid-sized Fairlane platform.

The Torino was restyled for the 1970 year with a sleek coke bottle shape ostensibly designed with aerodynamics in mind, but the only thing the Torino had in common with a B-58 Hustler is that they were both relics from another era destined for extinction.

The New Horizon's probe, originally launched in 2006, has completed its flyby of the hunk of rock known as Pluto (apparently Pluto lost its membership in the Planet Club after showing up to the annual awards dinner completely drunk and without pants...never change Pluto, never change) and has moved on to exploring other giant celestial objects, and today we've got some pictures hot off the digital analyzers of something called a Ford.

Ford introduced the 5th generation of Thunderbird luxury coupe in 1967, with what can only be described as the vehicular equivalent of fat Elvis. Gone was the slim figure, chiseled good looks, and agile hips -- but the booming voice was still there -- hidden behind giant sunglasses and a cape -- but still there.

This next feature comes from DT regular Andy L who writes: Here is a car that seems to occupy an unusual niche. It is a real live big block muscle car with a 4-speed that has not been restored, molested or otherwise permanently devalued and falls well within the DT $20K limit. While it is not perfect, it seems to be a car that nearly anyone could jump into and see what a blue collar gear-head of the 70's might have enjoyed.

Numbers mean a lot of things, but sometimes in the car world we get obsessed with 0-60 stats, 1/4 mile speeds, and skid pad g-levels. Perhaps instead we should focus on the numbers that generate those measurable stats, such as engine size, rear-end ratio, and tire width. We'd still be vintage car geeks, but at least those numbers won't be trumped by every modern economy car. Find this 1971 Ford Custom Police Interceptor here on eBay

The 5th generation Ford Thunderbird was introduced in 1967 as the second major revision to the original Thunderbird.

The Torino name was originally applied to an upscale version of the
intermediate Fairlane sedan, but eventually the Torino name took the
lead from Fairlane. The Torino was available in sedan, coupe,
convertible and wagon trim, but none was as cool as the fastback (aka
Sportsroof), plus it was available with the giant fuel guzzling and pavement shredding 429 cubic inch V8. Find this 1970 Ford Torino 429

Finding a two door American car with a big block V8 for cheap is one of the things that puts a smile on my face.

The Torino was an intermediate sized sedan, coupe, fastback or convertible available from Ford starting in 1968. The Torino was restyled in 1970 with a sleek "coke bottle" shape designed for aerodynamics and to emulate 60s fighter jets, but only the 429 big block powered versions had the thrust to match a jet.

James "Jimmy" Hoffa was a labor organizer turned mobster (or was it the other way around?) who disappeared mysteriously in 1975. For the past 38 years police have been digging up yards in search of Hoffa's remains, but in 2001 Police matched DNA samples from Hoffa's hair brush with a strand found in the back of Charles "Chuckie" O'Brien's 1975 Mercury Marquis Brougham. Today's feature isn't Chuckie's actual car, but it does do a pretty good impression. Find this 1973 Mercury Marquis Brougham for sale in Asheville, NC for $5,900 buy-it-now on ebay.
