The best car ever made on planet earth
« Reply #30 on: May 28, 2002, 02:05:08 PM »
I used to be able to pull the engine out of my bug in 5 minutes.  I could put it back in in 10, in running order.

I read about engine pulling contests at VW meets.
2 guys, 1 jack, engine out in 49 seconds!
Back in in a couple (I think).

HBlair my friend used to had AMC Ambassador (it was hard to find brake disks for it), neighbour had a Matador several years ago and friends dad still owns an "Eagle" 4WD 2D-sedan. That eagle is one out of 3 Eagles which ever came to finland and has a 360cid under the hood now.
Ambassador and Matador were uhmm... crap but Eagle was funny as heck :)

Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato




Of course I wouldn't say no to a McLaren F1.... or Aston Martin DB7 Vanquish  ;)

I've been a spitfire owner for 10 years this July. With that in mind, this just HAS to be a troll. Has to.

5. Original Chrysler 300
6. Original Corvette
7. Original Thunderbird
8. Dodge Superbird
9. Mustang
10. Camaro


I'm not an american but I think Mustang '64 1/2 should be at least 4th on that list. (don't listen to me, I'm biased. :D)

Oops,..my bad...you're right loser.  My neighbor had one when I was growing up.

Heck,..I should have added the 49 Ford.  That flat head V8 sounded sweet, and they never ran quite right until the heads were cracked a bit.  LOL!  Custom shops had a blast with that car.

In all fairness- shouldn't the venerable Jeep be in there somewhere? I mean it was so damn usefull I think it was the first pure Military-civilian use production vehicle. And hey- you can't exactly drive to the lake in your Shelby with a cooler and gear can you?
