We affectionately called it the "Green Demon" or the "Ghetto Sled". It had the original 351 Windsor in it and less than 20k miles (this was my senior year, 1997). It looked VERY MUCH like this... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudslide No. 27 Share Posted May 11 My handsomest car? Sometime ca. 1966 I had an opportunity to buy a 1957 M-B 300 SL Gullwing for...........$4,000. This was off of a new/used car dealer. $4,000. And it was in just this color.... 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctuniol No. 28 Share Posted May 11 This is the most beautiful car made, and I happen to have one in my driveway. Needs a bath and to put the cover back on.

Wrathis No. 29 Share Posted May 11 While I'm not reaching back to the Classics like some, to me the 2021 Grand Cherokee SRT is one sexy beast! A 6.4 Hemi stuffed inside an unassuming SUV just seems tough to beat! So for me, this is sexy, well made and what I want. (although for some reason, last year I bought the Gladiator Mojave in Sting Grey instead of the SRT) Go figure... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like mine, except mine was a cream color with tan and brown interior--and mats that matched, instead of tire-tread black so many mats are now.

I had a nice old mustang, and always was interested in the latest models coming out. I actually stopped paying attention as they just kept disappointing, year after year, decade after decade. Hopefully Oregon and Lanning will bring the brand back, and do it justice again too! I suppose that is what Mario is trying to do at Miami. Bring the brand back, not sure that one can be repeated. Saban did it at Alabama, Riley is trying to do it at sc, and the list goes on. Well done on picking up that Mustang! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is much like the Saab story I heard in reverse. I guy came to work for a software company, and was told he would be paid in stock options as a signing bonus. He had heard about getting a car as a bonus so he negotiated getting a car instead, quite the negotiator. He got a Saab, instead of Microsoft stock before any splits. Quite the sob story. 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrspenney No. 43 Share Posted May 12 Having spent most of my life as a new car dealer I will have to agree that the body styling of the jag was outstanding, but mechanically ir was a disaster. I remember my attorney had one and it spent most of it's time in the shop waiting for parts. He sold the car in San Diego, because it was far enough from Portland to make a law suit kind of speedy.

Red Eddy Green No. 44 Share Posted May 12 Am I the only Hot Rodder on here? I love any model of 1932 Ford. From the Beach Boys album cover "Little Deuce Coupe" to this Sedan Delivery. Henry only made 418 Deliveries modified from standard Tudor sedans. Hot Rodders have recreated a few more. http://hotrodcarbs.com/wp-content/gallery/customer-gallery/0807rc_01_zpoteets_1932_ford_sedan_del.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point in time I had a cotvette yellow 1969 El Camino SS, my younger bro had a green 69 Buick GS, my oldest brother a dark metallic green 68 GTO, and my brother in law almost trumped us all with his silver and black 1970 Judge.
