Next time you want to win a bet with that guy who always claims to be an expert on muscle cars, ask him to name a handful of intermediate-sized GM muscle cars from the mid-'70s. Even the most boastful poseur will be able to spit out at least a few names from the '60s and early '70s, models like the Pontiac GTO and Chevy Chevelle will likely be at the top of the list. But ask about anything from the mid-'70s Malaise Era , and you'll probably get a blank stare.

Maybe it's just us, but the Malaise Era gets a bad rap due to things like ugly bumpers and lo-po smog motors—both "born-with" issues that hardly matter in today's aftermarket. GM was certainly not immune to that criticism, and the GM A-body platform that was used between 1973 and 1977 is no exception. Even though nearly everything built in that era was glacially slow, the GM intermediates of the mid 1970s offered some beautiful shapes and a very capable chassis, making them perfect candidates for modifying today. Keep watching for more details and examples about GM's colonnade A-body platform.
