Probably any 60's era pre-emissions American car, Corvair excluded.

@FoxCMK: Niiiiiiice!

@FoxCMK: OK, where is that picture from? I was planning on going with a SVX Subaru transplant for my Vanagon but now you're making me rethink my decision.

@duurtlang: No insecurity. I just don't want want them to try to hard to be EXACTLY like Top Gear UK as I think they will spoil it. Also, the TGUK table is a Jag V12 (I believe) which is definitely British so we should have a USA block of some sort. Still though, rod sticking out of the block is a nice touch...

I think I would have preferred a nice big Viper V10 block instead of a foreign V12 for the table. You know, being Top Gear 'Merica and all...

In 1975 my parents bought a brand spanking new AMC Pacer. I remember it vividly. Light metallic blue, pointy hubcaps, cool slotted grill, three on the tree, no A/C.
