I'd settle for a Superperformance replica. Wouldn't be as skeered to drive it.  :grinyes:


 :iagree:  Replica for me as well!  Driving a 1 of 6 car makes me nervous!  I got into a Factory Five Racing version and man, you have to be a semi contortionist to get in one!


Hmmmmm....the top 5 list for me is ever changing....... I dunno, so many cars, so little time...  :pullinghair:

1- 427 Shelby Cobra, my perenial favorite...
2- TVR Sagaris.  Love the looks, gives me shivers just looking at it!   See pic below.
3- Pantera DeTomaso GTS/Ferrari 328 GTO/Lamborghini Countach (tied, love Italian design!  :dunno: )
4- Mad Max Interceptor  :smokin:
5- Covette Summer custom.  :icon16: I'm a little stuck in the disco era... see pic below...




1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Pic #2 and 3 of my ARII 1/24 scale model car 

Phil in New England-Massachusetts  Always thank God for what you have!

:ylsuper:

         The original mini,and most of the triumph cars were all good,but there was one triumph called the "acclaim" which was

  just a Honda with triumph badges   :puke:

     Triumph herald,vitesse,spitfire,dolomite sprint, 2000,2.5pi,stag, tr-cars all the way up to tr6----all good   TR7-crap.    :grinyes:
   
The Triumph TR8 was a special build car,with a v8 motor not many made,for race and rally.Quick car with a crap body that rusted badly.

I owned a TR7 in 1975-76, owned it two years and it was a great car...to me, but I certainly understand it wasnt very well built. Plus, they were definitely a love/hate type style.. I would love to pick up a TR 8 convertible, and there are a few out there, but the v-8s were designed by Buick (GM) I think? Bought a Fiat X19 right after that and had a great time for a year or two with that car also. I was in college!

Ford GT (Gulf Blue/orange)
71 Cuda
71 Roadrunner
68 Charger
69 Camaro RS SS
plus
57 Chevy
68 Mustang fastback
63 Vette split window
etc etc

70 AMX 390, 4 speed
71 Challenger Convertible (any engine)
68 Mustang Fastback
68 Charger (can anyone detect the bullitt theme)
56 Chevy belair



Seeing the picture of the Monza brought back old memories. I bought a 1979 Monza Spyder new off the lot for $5500.00. It was the worst car, and best car I ever owned. It was a piece of crap under warantee, then I put 95,000 trouble free miles on it out of warantee.

1971 Dart Swinger (sons)
