The Top 10 Sports Cars of the 1970s

They don’t build cars like they used to. In some cases, that’s a good thing, but if you can find one of these fine sports cars from the 1970s, you’re in luck. The list has plenty of Lamborghinis and Ferraris, but there are also vehicles that you might have owned at one time, like the Mazda RX7.   

The first RX-7 models made their entrance into the sports car scene in 1978 for the 1979 model cars. The debut was an instant success, as opposed to its predecessors: the rotary-powered coupes RX-3 and Cosmo 110. The RX-7 came with a 1.1L rotary engine producing 105 lb ft. of torque and 100hp, which was enough to accelerate the 2350 pounds of metal from 0-60 in less than ten seconds. The engine was compact and super light, making it easier to be fitted behind the front axle. It was also uniquely sleek and featured an integrated electric buzzer to warn motorists against blasting through the 7k rpm red line
