Australian (and overall favourite of all time)? Valiant Charger, no two ways about it. I'd sell my soul for an E49. I'd trade my beloved, rare, and valuable 1974 H2B Kawasaki 750 triple for a roadworthy VH Charger with a 265 and a four speed.

Japanese? A Supra with the 2JZ engine...actually a far superior engine to the RB26DETT in the Skylines of the era.

European? An early 3 series BMW coupe.

Oddball choice? A big Czechoslovakian "Tatra" with the air cooled V8 in the back.

I used to like my old 99 WRX.

But nothing compares to the Bugatti Veyron.

Early Honda S2000 (2.0l, not 2.2l)
Mazda RX7, Series 7

The non-Ford cars I have the most interest in are the big heavy U.S. classics from the 50s and 60s. Mainly GM and Chrysler products, I'm not very familiar with the Rambler/Nash products though.

For me it's pretty much all of the 50's and 60's Cadillacs, All Chev El Camino's right up to the late 80's. Also, The 1968 Dodge Charger from the Blade movies. I love the 1970 Dodge Challenger from the movie Vanishing Point, Also love the 1977 Trans Ams too.

My '75 Trans Am. I have a mate who's into small, nimble cars and he was blown away that a car with a large hunk of iron at the front could handle like it does.

I've always wanted an early C3 Vette, chrome bumpers at both ends.

Cheers,

Kraig
