+10 points! Not many people recognize what it was by name!
Fun car, well ahead of it's time with many features.
Hated to sell it, but couldn't stand to bastardize it and mitsu wasn't making parts anymore and the aftermarket stuff sucked. The guy I sold it too, sold it again last summer. It's somewhere down in Georgia and the owner called me 3x last year asking questions and shooting the bull. Definitely a cult following, albeit a small one, for those who appreciate what that car is.
You made my day dex.

Same color as the '71 my buddy built into a 440 six-pack clone. He sold that car (this was around '04-'05) but had owned quite a few great Mopars in his day. Even rolled a nice '68/69 (can't remember!The Challenger was purple with black vinyl top. Dodge called the color "Plum Crazy".
The owner of a local car dealership owns an original Shelby. There is a SC driving club around here too, kit cars on VW pans but I look to see when their driving dates are so I can stand in my driveway seeing 40-50 of the cruise by....as my hubby just shakes his head at me, doesn't get itWow, you set the standards high there.....
My buddy at work has an AC Cobra kit car with a REAL Ford 427 side-oiler and toploader 4 speed (with the factory drag racing ratio gears in it), that's as close to real as most can get. However, he DOES also own a 1967 Shelby GT 500 with the 428 Super Cobra Jet.....and it is REAL........
Some people have all the cool toys!
Nothing like a GT40....the cream of the Ford crop right there....and I am a die-hard Ford guy (who drives a GMC 2500 truck!). A local dealer owned (and occasionally drove around) the new version (Ford GT), what an awesome car.....My Dad's mechanic down in CT owned ... Probably still owns ... A GT40 continuation car. I never got a ridebut he did start it up for us in the shop once. Real race setup so it was like an airplane startup checklist, water pump switch on, radiator fan switch on, fuel pump switch on, etc. D$*%&% nice car.
Sweet Snake!Currently: big Subaru fan. Driving a 2005 WRX and 2010 Forester.
For a north american type dream car: I would love either of my buddy's fathers cars: 2007 Shelby GT500 or his hotrod. He took a flatbed from Nova Scotia (Canada) to Kansas City to get the Shelby. The following year he took it on the flatbed to Shelby American in Vegas to have it modded and become a numbered car.View attachment 93972View attachment 93973
His hotrod is also renown to have over 1000 HP and be street legal. And it took roughly 1 year to build!View attachment 93974View attachment 93975

Hey, at least they are FORDS!! Love that old Falcon Ranchero! My buddy had a '64 Falcon Sprint clone, 289 4 speed car....that was a fun one to cruise around in!Nothing but good old basic iron here.
