Just to see what others are thinking around here. Let's do an informal survey to check-out peoples cars interests beyond the Mercury Marauder.

You can pick any four decades and any 4 cars you'd like to own per decade. That's a total of 16 cars.

To avoid Pie in the Sky non-sense. They have to be cars affordable by Joe-Six-Pack , not Tour De-Elegance Show winning collector cars that only the filthy rich can afford.

I'll start off.

1960's 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 7-Litre ( 428 C.I.)
1969 Ford Torino Talladega (428CJ)
1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler (428CJ )
1969 Ford Boss 429 Mustang

1970's 1970 Mustang Boss 351
1977 Oldsmobile 442
1977 Pontiac Trans Am ( Smokey and the Bandit w/TA 6.6L)
1974 Pontiac Trans AM ( SD-455 4-Speed)

1980's 1987 Buick Grand National / GNX
1988 Turbo Coupe Thunderbird ( 5-Speed )
1987 Monte Carlo SS ( Aerocoupe )
1987 Camaro Z-28 IROC ( 5.7L)

1990's 1994 F-150 Lightning Pick-Up ( I own one)
1994 Thunderbird Super Coupe ( 5-Speed)
1993 Mustang Cobra
1993 5.0L Thunderbird ( Davey Allison or Bill Elliott package)

Man. What a thought provoking thread! :up: I know I added an extra car for the 1970's, but there are way too many cool cars from that era! I would have like to added a 1975 Cosworth Vega and a few others. Now, I just gotta win the lottery to buy a big enough garage for all these cars and the dough to buy the cars themselves! :P ;)

"If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
Brought them all together for one night
They never matched my sweet imagination
And everything looks better in black and white"
