Most of the Fords that get recommended are going to be GT40's... but I'll suggest the predecessor to that motor, specifically in the 1963 Galaxie 427 NASCAR special. Seven liters of unrelenting fury. Jump to nine seconds in.

All the guys who don't realize what they're looking at. This is why I love / hate having a sleeper. Particularly at car meets where there's a show and go event. I bring a couple lawn chairs, a table, a cooler and a grill. I sit and grill burgers, might have a beer in the morning. There are exactly two types of people…

Don't you take away my twin turbos damn it, I love my SHO
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
NO. yes
And then it occurred to me: not everyone knows how to spot a rental car. Oh, sure, it's second-nature to us big city car enthusiasts, who are constantly checking out Lincoln MKZs, hopeful to discover that someone finally bought one, dismayed when we realize the lone occupant is an overworked 27-year-old consultant who…
Again, if it's not screen accurate, I'm not interested. That's another demerit to the CL car.
It's otherwise a pretty good tribute to one of the the film's most iconic set pieces. Considering that it's an Eddie Bauer edition, it's pretty maxed out when it comes to options too. There's the stout 4.0 Cologne V6, AOD auto box, leather this, power that- the damn thing's got everything.
They were Land Cruisers. Land Rovers would've broken down way too early in the plot line.
I'm a huge Jurassic Park fanboy and I was stoked to see this listing, until I realized that it's missing almost all of the movie-correct bits, not just the plexiglass. The entire roof is incorrect to start with, not including everything else that's missing - no brush guard, lights, winches, armor, tires (yes, tires shu…
What in the hell did I just watch? This was a thing they put on television?
And gravity, and NASA magic. I'd agree, but it certainly didn't get all of it's speed from launch.
Well, I was all set to buy a nice house with some money left over... aaaaand then this happened.
Here's hoping your computer wallpaper is empty and your bank account is full.
88 RX7 convertible, on 15 y/o Yokohama tires, floor heat only because the logicon unit was jammed (carry towels to defrost your shit), top seals that leaked, and the driver window stuck open when using a scraper while at a stop light. But when your daily is down, the summer beater becomes the winter "Jesus don't let…
88 RX7 convertible here, on old Yokohama tires, and the logicon unit jammed on floor heat only.
Properly researched and inspected, you can avoid about 1/2 of these heartaches when picking up a used performance car. I saved $12,000 on my SHO by getting it a year and a half old with only ten thousand miles on it, and everything that's broke on it has been my fault (do not run heavy oil through little turbos BTW).
Ok, so there aren't any cars in Ben Hur, but there's no lack of great racing in the legendary chariot scene. It was way ahead of its time in terms of realism, and is still stunning today.
