Bjorn Sefeldt Administrator Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 20,054 Houston, Texas ,US	I had a 2 pony cars in 69 a 67 Mustang and a 68 Firebird... the "pony" expression I think its because its not a fullsize horse...its a smaller car than the Mid size Muscle cars...I agree w Mr P Body if thats what he`s saying...Muscvle cars were typicallymid size cars with big engines...when pony cars came out with the same size engines as Muscle cars(Firebird 400 and GTO for example)the pony cars blew the muscle cars away! So nothing to fret about....it was just tough for GTO salesmen in 69-70 to sell a muscle car that was slightly slower and more expensive than the Firebird! check out Wikipedias explanation...and history behind the name...yes, Mustangs started the pony car platform... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_car FireBjorn http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/closeup.mv?CarID=221 69 convertible 400 (was 350) Natalie, SOLD 58 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce , Gina,(SOLD) 1974 Alfa Romeo Spider, Mrs Robinson 2011 Volvo C30 T5 , Victoria ,.....( or Vicky)
