I just love the Javelin AMX, very cool lines. Can't go wrong with the Yenko Camaros. I have to say I prefer the 67-68 Camaros to the 69.

I guess it's a fine line between "musclecars" and supercars" . The ones I picked fall into both catagories I guess. I really like some of the Mercedes , like the SLR Maclaren and that new one with the gull wing doors.
Not that I'll ever me able to afford one though.  :grinno:

Yeah I didn't want to get into the muscle car super car debate, just wanted to see what other cars members are into. So far some great picks. Some picks are sentimental (like the Buick GS for me, my dad had one) other are just bad a$$ muscle like the Yenkos and Shelby Cobras. Keep them coming guys and gals!

I'll just say what cars I might possibly afford, so that leaves out the exotic foreign cars.   :grinyes:

1970 Mercury Cougar.

1970-72 Pontiac GTO.

The early 70's Camaros with the split front bumper were kinda cool too.

Way too many to choose from, I'd say at least 30 or so different models from the 60's & 70's all America companies...

But for starters  Boss 302 shaker, Boss 429 Hemi, Corvette 454, T-bolt car, early 396 Nova, and alot more...
