Where is Xerxes5 in all this discussion? Does he feel like it's PCH? He's seeing light at the end of the tunnel right now, and I'm sure his wallet is a fair bit lighter than it was at the outset. But just how optimistic is he at this point?

@lascauxcaveman: Well put re: the developer/conservationist.

I cannot believe these two are tied up right now; my first thought was that this had to be the most lopsided pairing yet. A Jag against a craptastic dune buggy (that's never seen a dune in its pathetic life)?

I love the Olds', but who the heck came up with the name "Delmont" for a car? Might as well call it the Dilbert, or the Dilweed, or whatever.

I'm betting on a Dodge Caravan with Stow&Go.

I went with the Dodge. I always wanted me a "progect", whatever the hey that is.

Oh come now Murilee; do you really think you could get all the Jalopnik to agree on which car should be the Official Staff Car?

Bantam FTW. I'm thinking as long as you've got the second engine on hand, stretch the frame two feet or so and make a twin-engined Banshee out of it.

Dang. Must learn img tag...

@vr6john: That's not the proper Mopar Purple; this is true People Eater Purple.

I could go for both if I had the shop space. And the time. And the bottomless bank account...

But daddy, you always told me they were called "Ice Cream Trucks" because they sold ice cream.

Wow. So much PCH gold...

I can't believe you actually included one of these rolling turds in DOTS. What's next, a Citation?

Did he say Mustang suspension on that ElCo? Isn't that some kind of sacrilege?

Count me in with Chuck & Rusty; that 928amino was hot.

Seems to me there was a Vette-amino in there somewhere. Forget the others: That'd be my pick.

"... I consider the 1959-60 and 1964-67 models to be the only "true" El Caminos..."

The Corvair wins, if for nothing else but to thumb my nose at Nader.

So, what are the skidpad and 0-60 numbers on this bad boy?
