One of the nicest examples of an NSX...ever seen...

JDM Auctions?

 

[Bopop4]

Yep, JDM Auction Watch. (Facebook page.)

Actual site.

AFAIK, my friend (the one with the R32, 180SX and RX-7) got all three of his cars from them. Or, well, one of those Facebook pages vaguely similar to that.

My favorite classic american cars:

Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe

Shelby Cobra 427

Ford GT40 Mk.I

1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS/RS (love the stripes)

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 (the 1969s are the best looking mustangs imo)

1967 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray 427

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

I my opinion, you can't get better looking truck than this...

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

Shelby Cobra 427

Ford GT40 Mk.I

Those are British...

Without the trim around the lights =

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Those are British...

With american engines and badges.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

With american engines and badges.

Not entirely. Ford Motors UK also exists.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

As well as Ford AUS (for the time being). It still doesn't change the fact that the engines are american made..

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

By your logic, the Lotus Elise and Exige are Japanese.

If something is designed and built in Britain, it's British. I don't care what engine you put in it, or what badge you slap on the front.

So, we're all correct, correct?

The A/C Cobra wasn't really going to win at Le Mans until you put the Ford motor in. So, basically, what we have here is teamwork.

No. The cars were designed and built in Britain. Just because the engines that were sourced were American, doesn't make it an American car.

Yup, that's basically it. I apologize for my ignorance though. My friends had me lead to believe car's origin by badge, I probably should know better. I'm going to drop that argument though.

My favorite Japanese cars:

Honda Integra Type R (DC2)

Nissan Silvia (S15)

Nissan Skyline Nismo R32

Toyota Supra Mk. IV

Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST205)

You used an American motor to win Le Mans. So, a British car with an American motor won Le Mans. Congratulations to your nation, for designing a Le Mans winning car? Plucky Brits.

I may regret this, but I'm taking this to VMs to keep this thread tidy.

It's quite simple really:

MkI: Development in Britain by John Wyer using American running gear and American Funding on a modified Lola Mk6 chassis- More Anglo than American.

MkII: Program handed to Carroll Shelby due to lack of results, car re-engineered by Shelby- More American than Anglo.

MkIV: Car completely designed and built in America under Shelby- American.


On topic:

'66 Galaxie, always thought they are the best looking generation.

Well, by that brilliant piece of logic, McLarens are German (or were originally Japanese), Paganis are German, Koenigseggs were originally American, Loti are Japanese, etc. etc.

I'll give you that the car in question is not completely British since the idea & funding behind it was by Ford. Marina though, is technically right because Mk. I-III were designed & built in England with IV in built in the US.
However, the way you are choosing to argue it with this little quote above does not prove your point.

Hang on, that's the opposite of what I'm saying. I said it's a British car, and it is. There's an American motor in it. That doesn't make the car American.

So, my original point is the exact opposite of the way you understood it, meaning that I don't see Paganis (Argentinian car name, designed by Italians, built in Italy with a German motor) as German, because they were, as I mentioned, designed and built in Italy.

The way you replied to Marina seems to imply the exact opposite.

He said the car was designed & built in Britain, thus it is a British car. The motor sitting in it has no bearing on that fact. You came in & touted they used an American motor to win Le Mans, & then poised your question as a sarcastic remark towards the Brits by taking credit for the car that they had to outsource the engine.

I was explaining why both RandomCarGuy17 and Marina were both correct; it was a British car, but it had an American motor. Therefore, both of the people discussing were correct.

I knew I should've kept my mouth shut, sorry guys.

My favorite mercury:

 

[Slash]

I don't care that it's Mustang under a different skin I always did like the Cougars especially the 1969 and 1970 models just like the Mustangs. I really like the Boss 302 and Boss 429 Cougars, they are rare.

Yup, it makes me miss mercury.

 

[Slash]

Regardless we wouldn't be getting anything good again I don't think. The last generation Cougar was basically a FWD probe with a 2.5L V6 or the infamous 2.3L I4. Besides the fact that I don't think there really is a market for modern, again Mustang based Cougar. Would it be nice? Yeah, but with the current S197 body style a coupe would be kind of an eyesore unless Ford could really pull it off. Even with the new Mustang, the S550 (2015 models), it could be tough to do.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Good points there and it's a shame.

 

[Slash]

Anyways, I always did like the LTD/Grand Marquis and the II model. Prefer the 2 door but the 4 door is also nice. Call me an oddball but I really like some of the '70s styling for some reason. Anemic V8s or not, aftermarket nowadays can really supe these things up. Plus I love how stock they came with a slap shifter =P
