The Esprit was like the lux version of the Firebird, above the base car, but below the performance oriented Formula and mustached Trans Am. Sort of like the Camaro LT and Mustang Grande/Ghia of the era. It would be like a V6 LT Camaro today.

The shame was that Rockford would seldom ever get paid what he was owed, usually because his clients had some sob story too.

One of the best Rockford messages ever.

I always wondered why there were no "grille-less" 1979-80 Firebirds on the show even thoug it did run until 1980.

They tried to follow the same recipe that Cadillac used to make the Seville, except they skipped a few steps and ended up with a half baked product that went no where, while Cadillac at the same time raked in the dough with the Seville.

Would people not know that it was a…

Thats why refuse to watch this movie, this detail alone lets me know in advance, this will be mostly garbage.

I know, and there were so many more interesting cars abandoned on the highway, like a big B-body Roadmaster and a nice 67-68 Mustang.

Not to mention the AMC dealership in the middle of Hong Kong or Maccau or wherever.

Does it have to be the same one? Isn't a Beetle kinda like a cat? If you lose one or it dies, just put some food out and you'll have a new one the next day.

Petroni could have gotten it out of there......

Manual, RWD, wagon......I dont see what the problem here is?

A 5000 miles SEC? How can you say no?

It used to be so cool, I never had them first hand, I got exposed to them when a much older cousin gave mea huge stack of older C&D and R&T from the late 70's and early 80's. I loved the Salon section in R&T where I learned about Delahayes and Bugatti Royales, meanwhile in C&D I was reading about crazy Georgia county…

Not sure....
