What's in our Car Town garage today? (August 6, 2013)

What's in our Car Town garage today?

1967 Honda S800

Served as the replacement to the S600, the S800 from Honda was built to compete with the likes of the Austin Sprite, MG Midget, Triumph Spitfire, and the Fiat 850 Spider. While it's available in either a coupe or roadster configurations, it was equipped with a 0.8L engine which produces 70HP and classified as the first Honda to reach 100mph of top speed, with a fuel economy of 35MPG.

1971 Plymouth Roadrunner

Renewed for the 1971 model year, the Roadrunner muscle car was changed to be more "fuselage" while staying true to the Chrysler design philosophy of the 70's. While the '71 model had its length dropped, the wheelbase was increased to 115 inches and a rear sway bar was used in conjunction with staggered rear leaf springs. Also added were the 340-4bbl feature and the detuned version of the 383 Road Runner engine which develops 300HP of power.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible

In the good old days, car lovers love to cruise around in open top convertibles all the way to Route 66. For this convertible version of the C2 Corvette Stingray, that is no exception to the rule. It maybe identical to its hardtop equivalent but with the roof open, it's all about the cruising on the open roads for you, even if it comes with the 427 V8 engine that powers the Stingray.
