Which sporty rides over the years would you say have been overlooked? Something like the late CJ 351 Torinos were still pretty decent.

Gran Torino Sport Cobra Jet 351

SD 455 Trans Am

:worship: AMX

i like the early torinos(fairlanes) and the galaxies, and who couldnt forget the ranchero's, they were pushed out of the spotlight by the mustang though...sweet rides, love the torino!

Sweet, I like the 72' shape, especially the hood.

The Maverick 302 Grabber was also good, I don't think a 78' T bird is rare muscle though, they sold too many.

Almost bought a 72 Gran Torino (351 C) but it was too expensive $4500 for what it needed. The trans was going to need rebuilt, the whole car sanded down and repainted and the whole brake system replaced. Too bad they wouldn't come down or I would have bought it
