Same here, big coupes look mean as

XBs, Coupe or sedan. Here s the best 2 examples IMO I could find.

[K10wN]

Favourite would be GT-40 and closely followed by the new Ford GT, but I'll never afford to own one.

Of what I can afford it has to meet this criteria:
Medium sized.
Turbo 4cyl or NA 6/8 cyl.
2 doors.
Manual transmission.
Preferably rear wheel drive.

That leaves me with a short list of not many. Cougar V6, 70's/80's Fox body Mustangs, Taunus (South American 2 door version of Cortina), Capri and Sierra.

[blackf6]

Cant decide between these 2.

Performance isn't a big thing with me, I prefer style

I love A models, not so fond of 32's (every one has a 32) I like 34's then nothing till the 46,

I like cusso's and mainlines, I like Polly stuf like anglias.

The XK XL & XM I love, I don't mind the XP,

I prefer the XR - XW over the XY (same reason as I'm not a fan of 32's) I love ZA & ZC fairlane's.

I also like XB / C falcon sedan's ute's and coupes as well as landau's and ZH fairlanes, after that sorry it all falls pretty flat

Thunderbirds: Fords dream cars

[martinijosh]

It has to be the original GT40... the Ferrari eating monster.

Ford Australia have never really made a proper performance car. They're pretty good at making budget family sedans and super taxis though.

There's something about the MKIII cortina that I just can't help but love for some reason too... It's almost cute.

[Carby]

XB GT Coupe - fill the rear wheel arches and they look magnificient!

i would think so - henry bought the company after all. because of this, i consider them different to the other brands that ford have owned recently. as long as lincoln were owned by ford at the time of the car of your choice, then i would include them

true, but the difference is that henry ford himself was in charge when ford bought lincoln. the rest were bought when his relatives were in charge. still a family business, but not quite the same as when henry himself ran it

i have always considered lincoln to be ford, wheras i have considered mazda, jaguar, volvo etc to have been owned by ford





edit: it isn't my thread, so my opinions mean nothing really. however, if it was up to me, i would allow ford, ford based deriatives (ac cobra's etc), lincoln and no other company
