READ THE OP! GTP Cool Wall Nomination Thread [Always accepting more cars!]

[White & Nerdy]

Are law enforcement/military vehicles (oem built, not modified) allowed for nominations?

Oh, why not?

I thought nominations were closed?

I probably should have done something more obvious to signal they were open.

 

[Slash]

Well I've made my nomination now anyways. All good.

Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special '59

Body style 4-door hardtop
Layout FR layout
Engine 390 cu in (6.4 L) OHV V8 325bhp
Transmission 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic
Wheelbase 130.0 in (3,302 mm)[2]
Length 225.0 in (5,715 mm)[2]
Width 1959: 81.1 in (2,060 mm)[2]
1960: 79.9 in (2,029 mm)[2]
Height 56.2 in (1,427 mm)[2]
Curb weight 5,100 lb (2,300 kg)

From Wikipedia:

In 1959, the memorable "zap!" fins appeared on nearly all Cadillacs this year, including the Sixty Special. Now riding a 3 in (76 mm)-shorter wheelbase (130 in (3,300 mm)[3]), the 225 in (5,700 mm)-long Sixty Special continued as a pillarless hardtop with its own distinct moldings - including a side-mounted dummy air-scoop on the rear fender, and a thin chrome bead that ran from the front fender back to the rear bumper, and then forward again to the front wheel well. The fin-mounted tail lights pods (which were body-colored on lesser Cadillacs) were chromed. The 390 cu in (6.4 L) engine provided 325 horsepower (242 kW).[9] Air suspension, utilizing freon-filled shock absorbers, was optional on Sixty Special. Cadillac also advertised a new "Scientifically engineered" drainage system.[10] Although the Sixty Special script was gone, the Fleetwood script remained, and since the only other Cadillac bodied by Fleetwood was the Series 75, for this and many other reasons, there was no confusing the Sixty Special with other Cadillacs. However a front fender-mounted cloisonne "Sixty Special" emblem would appear the following year and last through 1962.

nvm, preview gone wrong. That's what happens when I try to post at 2:37 AM I guess.

I have to nominate this:

1497cc engine

Currently looking for specs....

 

[JMoney]

There seems to be a lack of modern Lambos, so...

2007-2010Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640

Naturally Aspirated 6.5 L V12 (originally from Miura)
6-speed e-Gear automated sequential transmission with launch control
Four-wheel drive

0-60 mph: 3.0 seconds
Top Speed: 211 mph
Max. Power: 631 hp
Weight: 1665 kg

Special Features: Scissor Doors, asymmetric side intakes

Named by the EPA for the least efficient car to be sold in the U.S. for 2008.
Driven by Bruce Wayne.

Personally, I'd rather have a Gallardo, but the Murci is much cooler. I think it has a serious shot at getting into the Ice Box.

 

[Rage Racer]

^^Wow, a Lada's ancestor is nominated!
Well, I'll nominate a car developed completely in the Evil Empire, not a copy of anything. An epic army jeep:

UAZ 469
1972-2003

Also known as: UAZ 3151 (after 1985), UAZ Explorer/Marathon/Dakar/Racing (Italian imports by Martorelli company).
Body style: 4-door convertible
Engine: 2445cc I4 OHV, 75 hp
Transmission: 4-speed manual gearbox, 2-speed transfer shift, 4-wheel drive
Chassis: ladder frame, live axles, leaf springs, drum brakes
External dimensions (length/width/height): 4,025 mm (158.5 in) x 1,785 mm (70.3 in) x 2,050 mm (80.7 in)
Wheelbase: 2,380 mm (93.7 in)
Tread: 1,453 mm (57.2 in)
Ground clearance: 300 mm (11.9 in, for army version) or 220 mm (8.7 in, civilian version, 469B).
Curb weight: 1,650 kg (3,638 lb)
​

The legendary military vehicle, sucsessful both on battlefields and in off-road racing (1978 Italian Rallycross championship winner), with a great customizing potential - if an owner is skilled enough, it's easy to tune into a real off-road monster!

 

[The Stig Farmer]

1978 Italian Rallycross championship winner

 

[Rage Racer]

That's what the wiki says. But not only rallycross. Martorelli brothers made UAZ pretty popular in Italy because of their racing history.
And later, the junior brother, Philippo, won several off-road racing events on a modified 469 in 1985-92.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Maybe rallycross had a different definition back then...
