Before, it ran either a 289 or a 302 Ford motor. Look closely in Kill Bill part 2 and you'll notice Bill has one.

Speaking of modern yank muscle..





Pretty much every Viper is awesome, that is quite a nice flowing design that was pretty unique at the time.

Im a self confessed car whore, ill stop now.

Couldn't agree more. They had style and elegance that is virtually non existent in todays vehicles.

Oh and who can forget this master piece. If i ever win lotto one of these will be 1st on a very long list.

The Lamborghini Miura was a beautifull car when it was released pre 1970, and still today, not many cars could match her beauty

Besides the obvious XA/XB/XC/Landau Coupes I'd have to say the 1970 Ford Torino.

I just love the old school muscle cars of the 70's.
I think that there is more of a personal touch from the designers in these cars than the super cars of today. Pure art. Just my 2c worth.

Any Australian muscle car (with the exception of the Torana) gets my vote over anything else, especially Eurojap stuff.
