My favourite Ford car ever

Please put your favourite (non Mustang) Ford below, with a couple of pics and why you think it deserves to be here.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------



This caught my eye on Ebay. I have no intention of buying it, the $180k price tag puts me off a little.

But, here you have the most potent rally car ever built. It was banned pretty soon after it was produced when the FIA got rid group B rally cars in the early 90's, but the thing was the quickest rally car built,

650bhp from a 2.1L engine?? beats the heck out of a modern day Lancer Evo 7

Oh yea... that is one heck of a car. The most powerful evolution model went from 0-60 in just over 2 seconds

My favorite non-Mustang Ford is probably the
GT/GT40 or the


Capri RS 3100

Ain't nothin' you can't do with a car like that

For me, has to be the Cobra......427 or 289 will do nicely. Technically they aren't Fords,
but they are such a huge part of Ford history and are definately claimed as a 'part of the family' in my experience. These were the ultimate expression of the American hot rod
concept, and were stunning to look at.

Gotta do a +1 for the 427 Cobra.



Only problem with that car is that after like 10 hours of race stress the engine goes the way of Briney's Career: Down the tubes hard and fast.

I was thinking of the Pantera because of the Ford engine, and it would have been my favorite Ford ever. But, I didn't think it would qualify

I would choose the 1985 GT5S though

I love the fat meats in the back!

Don't laugh. My old taurus SHO. It was loaded with a ton of options only found on more expensive cars. It had a unique V8 motor. It was a sleeper car to many. At that time, with my CAI, it felt like a rocket ship.
