A Ford Anglia....And a Dodge Omni GLH..The GLH is actually a good car though..Oh yeah

It was dubbed the "Coyote" by a Chystler official, because the car was meant to compete with the VW Rabbit, since "Coyote's eat rabbits" as he put it.

Info on the GLH(Goes Like Hell)

Had the option 2bbl or a turbocharged Fi'
The Turbocharged Fi

146HP...Same engine as the Chelby Charger

Crazy pimpness for a ugly little car eh?

for me it would be between the Jaguar E Type or the classic
Lotus Esprit Turbo but as the E Type has been posted already i'll show the Esprit instead

 

[Nightmage82]

that is one BEAUTIFUL picture of the esprit! hey, why is the picture called aston3.jpg btw?

either way, i'd love to have it

 

[BMW POWER]

yeh i noticed that to when i found the pic but was to lazy to change it
it is a great looking car you can see how the shape has hardly changed over the years, such a shame its production has stopped

I actually saw a brand new one the other day, just purchased from our local Ferrari dealer - Lotus doesn't sell enough cars in the US to warrant its own dealers, no surprise. We really should get the Elise.

The one that started it all for the muscle cars. [GTO]

a 1932 ford. this one came in every body style you can imagine, from this sexy roadster (wich was the most stock-looking pic I could find of a 32) to a coupe, sedan, pick up, sedan delivery, and on and on... and it had the very first mass produced V8 engine, the flathead, wich opened the dors to hot rodding as we know it... and thats why I like it because, well, besides its really beautifull, its the quintessential hot rod. This is the car that defines hot rodding.

few classics have been through so many itterations and few have been as influential in the automotive world as this car. the "deuce" is simply the main hot rod.

some "variations":
this pic... I love it. full size too.

a coupe. same as the last big pic, and with a hemi.

a highboy (fenderless) roadster, very traditional:

the afore-mentioned Flathead engine:

a Roadster pick up:

a touring sedan:

I guess they would be hard to find over there. They aren't that easy to find anymore here either.

i managed to drive around in a virtually new car today (6k on the clock), small 3 door hatchback, vauxhall corsa for those who know it and although the seats are great and the leather wheel feels wonderful, the car doesn't feel 'real' enough. the throttle is electornic i think which makes it slower to respond, the engine sound is muted and basically the car feels like a toy rather than a car. my regular car is 15 years old, and it has a 0.1 litres more engine size (1.3) so nothing major but it feels so good. the gearbox isn't nearly as precise as the new ones, you can almost feel the engine rumbling inside it when u change gears. what im getting at is that i used to think of classic cars as just 'old' cars but after today i can fully see why people love them so much. it really brings you back to basics and what cars _should_ be like. well i've said enough. that gto looks great, must buy one!
