2 " " 289 FIA (slabside)

If it has to be a convertible, switch #3 for BMW Z8

  1. Jaguar E class
  2. Shelby Cobra 427
  3. Austin Healy MK4
  4. Ferarri Maranello
  5. Porsche C4 993

Alright. Here we go.

  1. Porsche 996 GT3 (or) 993 Turbo
  2. ERA GT-40
  3. BMW Z8
  4. McLaren F1 (or) Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR
  5. Late 80’s Aston Martin Vantage

Ford Mustang
Chevy Camaro Z28
Pontiac Trans Am

(Are there even two more???)

Mjollnir,

I think the other two vehicles that would fit in quite nicely on your list would be the 1985 Ford Escort (wagon) and any rusty bicycle.
:wink:

Another random selection:
[list]
[li]Porsche 911 Turbo (the GT1 or the upcoming 980 would also suffice)[/li][li]Ford GT40 Mark IV[/li][li]Ferrari 550 Maranello[/li][li]Lotus Elise Sport 190[/li]Jaguar F Type (coming soon to a theater near you)

Well if we are going to include race cars, I’ll have to add:
Ford GT40
Chapparal II
Porsche 917
Porsch 908
Ferrari 250GT
Porsche 550 Spyder-actually add to the sports car list!

Mercedes 300SL
Toyota MR2
Ferrari F40
Shelby Cobra 427
McLaren F1

1998 (?) Dodge Viper GT2
1996 (?) Daytona IROC turbo, blue/silver
1994 3000GT VR4 convertible, black
1998 Eclipse GSX Spyder, black/silver (no such thing, but it could happen)
1993 Mustang GT 5.0 convertible, blue/silver

–Tim

I should add, modern, or classic? Those are my modern picks.

Classic would be

1969(?) Mustang GT500
1969 Charger, General Lee package. :slight_smile:
1969 Z/28 SS
427 Shelby Cobra

69’s more than just a sexual position, folks, it’s also one of the best years for cars, right in front of 1996, which is when Dodge killed off, peaked, or brought out a shitload of killer cars. Lessee… 1996 for Dodge carried the death of the Daytona IROC, the Stealth R/T Twin Turbo, the Viper coming into it’s own, oh, my, there’s so much more, but my memory slips terribly so.

–Tim

  1. 70/71 Olds Cutlass 4-4-2 convertible
  2. Late 80’s RX7 convertible
  3. Porsche 356 convertible
  4. VW Karmann Ghia convertible (OK, not a sports car, but I have a thing for VW’s)
  5. Lambo Countach w/large wing on rear

Uh, you may have noticed I like convertibles

Shelby AC Cobra

Jaguar E Type

Corvette Stingray (Split Rear Window)

Studebaker Avanti (Way ahead of it’s time)

Dodge Viper
(First American sports car that looks half way decent in donkey’s ears)

All together now, “The Plymoth Phantom and PT Cruiser stink!”

  1. Porsche 911/993 Turbo
  2. Porsche 911/993 Cabriolet
  3. Porsche 911/996 (but only for its functionality. It’s not as pretty as the 993 because it doesn’t have the voluptuous fender flares and because it looks too much like a Boxster when it’s coming toward you.)
  4. Ferarri F50
  5. Ferarri Mondial Cabrio

Honourable mention (in no particular order):
Dino Ferarri. Just neat.
1960s MGB. Had one (and two '77s). The '66 was the monst fun.
Porsche 914. Not considered a “real” porsche (I have a photo of a European version in Volkswagen livery), but I dig it.
1957 Ferarri Testarossa
Acura NSX
Porsche Boxster

FWIW, I owned a white 1979 Porsche 911SC 3.0 litre coupé. It was the most fun car I ever owned, but I had to sell it because I needed more room to carry my gear.

Mr. Blue, love your first choice, you’re just off by 1 year. 72.
