probably this car. I'd have to dig the brochures out, but the same car, same pics were used for '70&'71, just airbrushed the '71 grill on.

Pursuit planes are what they used to call fighters.
Daytona rake is nose down for better high speed stability. Ever catch air under the car and have the nose lift at 100+, I first experienced it with my Dad in his 72 Buick.
Google is your friend, use it. Gimmicky words for a gimmicky time vocabulary, expand it. Grunting about like a cave man went out with the caveman.

My read on the "pursuit plane" comment was related to the similar design of the TA scoop and say a P51 underbelly air scoop, and the other similar aircraft being tasked with pursuit objectives. Regardless, sure gives a lot of merit IMO that these features noted were market driven.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The 1st squadron of the Flying Tigers were called the Adam and Eve's, after history's first pursuit.

The T/A scoop could, I guess, be compared to the P-51 scoop... It's about the boundary layer, which of course would matter more at aircraft speeds, but has been applied to racecars as well. In any case, the T/A street car program, as well as the other manufacturers', was about homologating parts, with a big side-helping of marketing.

Google is your friend, use it. Or rear up to gain side pipe needed ground clearance, and call it a "Daytona Rake"?

It's plenty expanded, stupid vernacular is not worth learning, regardless of the time it comes from. I liken "Daytona rake" and "pursuit plane" to "murdered out" or "turnt" and other zillenial garbage vocabulary. Since those terms come from the WWII era, especially the pursuit mention, your ignorance is astounding.

Wonder if that T/A in the ad, still exists? It does. Also I wonder what color it is. Could be white, or Top Banana, or beige. It is Banana. (Top Banana was used with the 1971 model year)

(Top Banana was used with the 1971 model year) Does this car have the '71 grille...and painted front bumper currently, or does it have the chrome and bumperette's, and '70 grille...as in the first ad ?? 🤔
