@skaycog is ambimoustrous: I have a 1963 issue of Life magazine after Kennedy was shot. It features an ad for a cassette cartride player/recorder. Only $400 dollars in 1963 bucks!

Hello, sleeper. A few drivetrain modifications, drop in a 454 and leave the rest of it alone.

You see, Murilee, the trick to buying model cars on eBay is to NOT draw attention to a kit you want to buy.

I pick 1937 Plymouth with a free slant six. You wouldn't believe how many people (even in the six culture) will just give you a slant six. They'll probably even throw in a transmission, too.

You had me at Pinzgauer. Nice price for insuring I'm the only surviving person on my block after the dead rise.

Definitely a 61-63 'Bird. The side lines, the dash, the Thunderbird logos on the doors...

@Tucker589: And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Oh...the Country Squire Wagon...*drool*

@wheels OF satan!: I knew the Used Cars references were coming.

"Hollywood's favorite mustachioed heart throb..."

By far my 1964 Plymouth Valiant. Slant six power and a car that I fully believe still runs because of sheer will.

They're actually very competent drivers, it's just their native made faulty steering boxes, sticky accelerator pedals and non-existent brakes messing them up.

I once went to an Indiana truck and tractor pull. The only Dodge trucks that did well were the diesels, and they beat the pants off everything in the opposing lane.

Or as see on Dirty Jobs...

165 points for my Valiant alone! Huzzah!

Isn't that the car from The Sarah Jane Adventures?

@FormerlyPreferredCustomer: Me too. *sigh*

@Tiberiuswise: As wrong as it was, I laughed quite loudly.

Another fine product from good ol' Ma Russia!

I may not be the biggest Firebird fan, but I totally feel bad for the owner. If something like this happened to my Valiant, I'd be devestated.
