1974PontiacFirebirdTransAm
1970 PONTIAC FIREBIRD - was designed by the Pontiac division of General Motors and Mark Rotondi of Connecticut between 1967 and 2002. The Firebird was introduced the same year as the automaker's platform-sharing model, the Chevrolet Camaro. This coincided with the release of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, which shared its platform with another pony car, the Ford Mustang. The vehicles were powered by various four-cylinder, six-cylinder, and V8 engines sourced from several GM divisions. While primarily Pontiac-powered until 1977, Firebirds were built with several different engines from nearly every GM division until 1982 when GM began to discontinue engines it felt were unneeded and either spread successful designs from individual divisions among all divisions or use new engines of corporate architecture.[1] The name "Firebird" was also previously used by General Motors for the General Motors Firebird.
1970PlymouthHemi-Cuda
1970 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA - a two-door car that was manufactured by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1964 to 1974. The first-generation Barracuda, a fastback A-body coupe based on the Plymouth Valiant, had distinctive wraparound back glass and was available from 1964 to 1966. The second-generation 1967 to 1969 Barracuda, though still Valiant-based, was heavily redesigned. Second-generation A-body cars were available in fastback, notchback, and convertible versions. The 1970 to 1974 E-body Barracuda, no longer Valiant-based, was available as a coupe and a convertible, both of which were very different from the previous models. The final model year for the Barracuda was 1974.
1968_GT500_and_GT350
1968 SHELBY GT500 - The Shelby is a higher performance variant of the Ford Mustang which was built by Shelby American from 1965 to 1967, and Shelby Automotive from 1968 to 1970. For 1967, the GT 350 carried over the K-Code high performance 289 with a 'COBRA' aluminum hi-rise. The GT 500 was added to the lineup, equipped with the 428 Police Interceptor. These later cars carried over few of the performance modifications of the 1965–66 GT350s, although they did feature more cosmetic changes. In September 1967, production was moved to the A.O. Smith Company of Ionia, Michigan, under Ford control. Shelby American had substantially less involvement after this time. One 1967 Fastback was built as the "Super Snake" - a GT-500 equipped with a 427 FE engine producing over 500 horsepower. The car was capable of speeds over 150 mph; hitting 170 mph during a demonstration (by Shelby himself) of Goodyear's Thunderbolt tires. No cars other than the prototype were built due to limited interest. The car sold at Mecum's 2013 Indianapolis auction for $1.3 million USD. For 1968, the Cobra name was applied to both models, and they were now marketed as the Shelby Cobra GT 350 and the Shelby Cobra GT 500. In February 1968, the Cobra GT 500-KR "King of the Road"; under the hood was a 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet V8 which was rated at 335 horsepower.

Ships bringing oil drilling equipment to Alaska pass through Seattle's Elliott Bay. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Alaska Republican and the presumed next chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, has been the leading proponent in Congress for ending the ban on the sale of U.S. oil to foreign buyers. Ms. Murkowski argues that a sea change in the way oil and gas prices are determined in global markets has made the ban — a relic of the 1970s fuel scarcity — something that is increasingly harming the outlook for the nation's booming shale oil industry.

Conservative Republicans want to drag must-pass spending bills into their fight with President Barack Obama over his planned executive action on immigration, inviting comparisons to last year’s shutdown showdown over the health care law. In the Senate, Jeff Sessions of Alabama and Mike Lee of Utah are among those arguing to use an upcoming must-pass spending bill _ either in December or next year _ to try to block Obama from taking unilateral action to protect millions of immigrants here illegally from deportation.
