I have recently come to appreciate some of the continuity between the 2nd and 3rd gen F-bodies. Those taillights and ducktail spoiler are taken right from the '81 with a little bit of '80's techno-futuristic pizzazz added to them.

They're redundant since the question began with the Mercury Cougar taillights, of which the Mustang's are a copy.

Even Rutledge Wood turned his nose up at this one.

They managed to Fauxrrari an actual Ferrari. Ugh.

Irv Gordon, Margaret Dunning, Lorrie Stern, Allen Swift & Dr. Konstantin Ioannidis are all awesome people. Anybody with a lot of money can buy a ridiculous car and drive it everyday - it takes a certain dedication and love to drive a car everyday for 40~80 years.

67-70 Mercury Cougar is the correct answer to many automotive questions.

That Kia is stunning. Can I get that with a Tau V8 and a 6-speed?

Lots of electric conversions just bolt the electric motor to the transmission in place of the gas engine but they end up just leaving them in 3rd or 4th gear all the time. Because of the way electric motors generate torque, starting out at maximum at 0 RPMs and falling off from there, you can lose power by down…

Ugh. That is in the running for the most tackiest thing ever.

Yeah, that was spooky.

It's weird, down here in Alabama where favorable climate and lack of inspection and emissions testing means you can keep anything on the road the 3rd and 4th gen F-Bodies are disappearing. 3rd gen all but disappeared but are starting to pop back up occasionally - 4th gens are getting surprisingly sparse on the streets…

Eh, they gotta keep buyers interested during the lame duck model year.

I flog my SN95 daily :)

Yes. Production body shells, engine blocks and heads and transmissions in same layout and suspension as the production cars.

Something seems to be missing from this list...

The current Challenger - not the taillight treatment but overall very similar.

Very interesting.

A friend of mine had a white '71 with black stripes - it had been in the family forever - I think his mom got it when it was new. He was driving it on a daily basis and taking it to the strip on the weekends. Sadly, he'd just wrapped up some work on the 351C and swapping in a beefed up trans when a week later a fuel…

Excellent choice. I went with the Pantera myself but the Miura is hard to deny.

About time someone mentioned a 928. That car was is the anti-malaise.
