i hated it.

Crazy lightning postponed the junkyard visit.

I guess you're thinking along the same lines as I had already saved picture addresses of the cars you mentioned except the omega ralleye.

Ponitac Ventura GTO.....granddad had one.......got horrible mileage but was very fast.

This one is a super rare hatchback.



Buick Apollo GSX



I would think there were a few olds omega 442s around but maybe they did with the ralleye.

Another rarity is the pontiac Can-am.



Chevrolet laguna S3

THAT Bottom picture looks like a cross eyed camaro, and a chrysler cordoba mated.....and the result is in the picture.

Anyone forget the Rebel by AMC?

[nrshida]

Anybody here owned an AMC Pacer, or would no one admit it anyway? 

[CAP1]

amc is i think the one brand i've never owned one of.

the mustang ii with a decent power plant would've been a half way decent car.

You are being VERY generous unless the 1/2 you are referring to is a decent power plant.
If that's the case I give you the Shelby Charger 2.2!
I bought one of these off the showroom floor and put almost 20K on it before I chopped down an oak tree with it. It would smoke a mid-80's Corvette 1/4 mile or top end. Just don't try to turn in any direction or you'll chop down a tree.

I had a '77 Jeep Wagoneer. The only problems with it were the GM engine and transmission.

I drove one, once.  I hit a bump in the road and the gauge lenses, covering the tachometer and speedometer popped out of the dash.  That was my only driving experience with any AMC cars.  I raced against a fair number of them though.

Behold.....The Ford Maverick

(Image removed from quote.)

I loved my ford mavericks.  They were reliable and the straight 6's were super easy to maintain and even repair if necessary.

I had 3 74's 2 had 250's, 1 had a 200.  I later bought a 76 Maverick Stallion with a 302 and with manual on floor.

One of the 74's was a grabber with a 250, If I am not mistaken the Stallion had disc brakes - so that would have made it my first car with disc brakes and my first car with air conditioning!

Here ya go.......Cosworth Vega



Vega GT


Mr NN,
My dad loved his Maverick.......drove it until it was rust on wheels, then donated it to the local Fire dept to practice using their new Jaws Of Life tool  

His car after that was a 77 Mercury Marquis 4dr. It Sat 4 in the front, 4 in the back, and 6 in the trunk.......Parking that monster was like docking a Battleship in a pond.

  Let's just call that a feature Skuzzy. Mrs Shida has unusual but interesting taste in automobiles. I should show her a picture of a Cobra.

My Wife's current auto cravings are the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe, the Ferrari FF, the Maserati GranTurismo S, or the Bentley Continental GT Speed.

I need a couple more jobs.

I got to drive a 2007 Bentley GT back in '08.  Had what can only can be described as a "cargasm".
