My friend had a 76 Firebird with a 455 and I remember how cool the shaker scoop was.

It came to a bad end. One of his reckless coworkers decided to take it out for a joyride on his lunch break and drove it into a tree at 60 mph. My friend had no idea his coworker took it but he used just leave the keys in the ignition because for some reason he trusted everybody.

A co-worker of mine had the same car in the same color.

Neat ride for the day, too bad by 1976 (the height of the smog years) that particular 455 was a shadow of it's former self.

I really like the '63 Chevy Impala 4 door hardtop. I know, 2 door is the going thing, but I like that the people in back getting in and out don't disturb the people in front.

Imagine a twin turbo LS with the 4L80E in that...... a solid nine second time slip, a smooth idle and decent gas mileage to boot. The ultimate sleeper.

American Motor Corporation's "The Machine".

The Machine was developed from a collaboration between Hurst Performance and AMC, but unlike the compact SC/Rambler, there was no official connection between the two parties once production commenced. The standard engine in The Machine was AMC's 390 cu in (6.4 L) V8 engine rated at 340 hp (254 kW; 345 PS) @ 5100 and 430 lb⋅ft (583 N⋅m) of torque @ 3600 rpm. It came with special heads, valve train, cam, as well as a redesigned intake and exhaust.

Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S. It had the same engine as the MR2 (1.6 L DOHC 16 valve). My dad bought one when I was in high school and I got to drive it to/from work now and then. It was so much fun to drive, especially with a 5-speed manual tranny.

The Sunbeam Alpine looks a bit like a Sunbeam Tiger to me.

I very much like the Austin A40 Devon that's next to the Sunbeam Alpine that looks a bit like a Sunbeam Tiger.

[Mark Desmo]

you are right

About what, the Sunbeam Tiger or the A40 Devon?

I have a story about a MkII Jag as well actually - I was forced (without too much protestation) to drive a 4.2 MkII every morning in the spring and summer of 1971 when I was 16 and wasn't even old enough to have a licence. I was working in a petrol station/car repair place, and the garage owner made me go and collect all the days parts in it each morning.
All the sixth form girls from school used to see me, with my shades on, tooling around in a 4.2 Jag, when they were on their way to school.
Fabulous
