This car turned my head.

I know it's not right but I'll say 426 Max Wedge, because I just love that name.

That was my guess too tho I thought those had two connected air cleaners side by side rather than front and back

That’s a magnum 440

It’s a little hard to see because when I heard the rumble of a coffee can exhaust I was in my yard but I was already walking to the front and caught a glimpse of the Miata with a Wingding.

I think it was literally taller than a lifted diesel pickup bro dozer.

Pffft - those songs are lame

you're kidding, right?

Is there something wrong with me if i still like the Corrado?

I had a '92 SLC. It was such a nice car, except that it exploded. Would buy another in a heartbeat.

No, why would I be? What's your submission??

This car turned my head.

in the same way that a train wreck turns your head, right?

I don't have one, I just don't understand how motley crue qualifies for best anything, that's all.

I imagine it will be quite an event

Seriously...
I mean the guy paid what was an OUTRAGEOUS price for the car in the early 70s... $7400 iirc.... Kept the car original, didn't dismantle it, (see other bullit movie mustang)... More power to them. Hope it sells for 10M..

I've been following this rather close, the estimate is up to 4-5M. The owner did remove some body panels but mostly superficial. One door, passenger side, is supposed to have a 5 gallon tub of Bondo on but has a perfect gap, not that it matters. Whatever it sells for, it's going to be exciting to follow the bidding. I just hope it doesn't follow in the 1939 Porsche screw up this past weekend.

Ya...this POS, the bandit car, the delorean, bonds DB5, Eleanor, christine....I would say they are probably all close in terms of iconic, well known, etc. I can usually test this by asking my wife is she knows X car...if so, its probably iconic. Bullit as a movie was a complete piece of shit, and over 50 years old, so not sure if anyone younger than my mom would sit down and actually watch it.

Bullit has to be the most iconic car chase seen tho....I mean the 2 cars, the 2 drivers (Mcqueen and Bill Hickman)....Like Dean Jones drove herbie...thats not exactly Hickman, Mcqueen, Burt Reynolds, etc

Had to check rotten tomatoes after your comment and they have the movie at 97% . I've never been able to sit through the full movie but like most have watched the chase scene at least 100 times.

Btw, the crazy neighbor found a new project now that the 67 GTO is done.
