Best year for the 140? 140-160 1970

posted by  someone claiming to be Tommy on  Fri Aug 3 06:55 CST 2001 [RELATED]

If you could choose which year of 140 to have, which would it be? Here's my top 5 choices:

1. 1971 - Most powerful B20 engine with FI with older style (nicer, IMO) door handles. Newer plastic grill is only detraction.

2. 1970 - Dual Carbs not as powerful as FI, but the 1970 styling (mainly the metal grill) is more vintage looking.

3. 1969 - Same as 1970, but one year older

4. 1972 - Same as 1971, but less poweful and has the recessed door handles which makes it look more like a 240 (not as classic looking).

5. 1974 - Updated safety features & the all the improvements of being the last year model is a plus. However, the outside styling with the newer platic grill, side molding and heavier bumpers makes it lack the classic styling of the earlier models.
