Great car, except for the ricey-wing.  
The RX-7 isn't rice, so it doesn't need anything but the factory deck.
Truly one of the last Japanese sports cars, killed off by the SUV craze.

No '69 or '70 Mustang Fastback (Mach 1, Boss 302, etc)??  List is horribly inaccurate.

Beauty is indeed the eye of the beholder. The only one they include that I agree with is the Tornado.

They left out two of my personal beauties. The end of the big car era, culmination of a complete period. Elegance to never be seen again.

I had a 1967 Buick Riviera once upon a time.  Nice, beautiful, powerful car.  Took it up to 140 once.

I stupidly gave it to my brother.  He ended up putting it in a junkyard around 1990.  I should have taken it back from him, but I was a short sighted.  I had house payments to make.

I keep thinking about going back and finding it.  I don't have the automotive skills to properly restore it and getting it running properly though.
