Some of these cars commonfolk have never heard of or will agree with...the only reason I noticed it was that I own one of these..They were listed in no particular order. The link has pics if you scroll down a little.

Idiots. I don't see the 1970 - 1974 Dodge Challenger on that list.
-Gator |
|
I was thinking the exact same thing. Also the 71 Cuda has to be one of the tops on MY list |
|
|
|
Yea I was surprised when I didn't even see a Gremlin on there. How odd. |
||
|
No Aston Martins on the list? A serious oversight. |
|
|
QFT. None of the slick, sexy muscle cars got mentioned. |
|
|
just what i was gonna say... FD3s, esp the spirit r or efini models are the most beutiful cars ever IMO... 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX.... give me a fucking break... one of the worst z cars built... fucking pig. |
|
|
+1 Nissan 300ZX? Wtf were they smoking? |
|
|
That's some powerful crack they've got over at "Automobile Magazine" |
|
That list sucks. They left out the american muscle cars and stuck mostly with european jobs. While they're not exactly ugly, they're just not beautiful
|
|
Just another questionable list put out by people trying to run up the price on certain "collector" cars.
|
|
I still think the Jaguar S type is very nice looking. Probably would never buy one, but i sure think they're pretty.
|
|
About the only one i dont hesitate in agreeing with is the Caddy listed. In my opinion NOTHING beats fade fenders and torpedo hoods...
|
|
Good ones, But what about the 1968-1970 Charger??? |
||
|
I like the '61 suicide door Lincoln...
'65 T-Bird should be on the list too... The AMC Pacer should be on the list with the Yugo as one of the ugliest cars of all time... |
|
Seems like they've spent a little too much time at the Pebble Beach Concours |
|
|
|
A 1990 300 ZX made the list, but not a 1963 Corvette Stingray??
Baloney. |
|
Always hated the split-window Corvette.
The '62 was much better, IMHO. |
|
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.
<---- biased Woody |
|
Opinions are like assholes...
and there are a lot of nasty opinions over at Automobile Magazine. |
|
Look again |
|
|
My Dad pulled into the yard in an almost new 1967 911 almost 40 years ago..My childhood got a lot more fun that day. |
|
|
That list is lame.
Here's the real one: 1. 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS454 2. 1967 Pontiac GTO 3. 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda 4. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 5. 2005 Aston Martin Vanquish 6. 1971 Pontiac GTO Judge 7. 1971 Oldsmobile 442 8. 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 9. 2005 Porsche Carrera GT 10. 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 11. Pretty much any Ferrari 12. 1996 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo 13. Any Porsche 911 Turbo 14. 1967 Shelby GT500 15. 1967 Shelby AC Cobra |

Reading is fundamental Heck, it's even QUOTED and pictured at the top of this page! |
|
|
Heretic! I think it's sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Sad time in American Automaking. Had an uncle who only drove Caddies. Loved riding in his car. Except on long trips: he wasn't one who would stop for "breaks." |
||
|
I've always loved and wanted a '61 Continental.. but I was pretty surprised to see it on the list.
That list blows. Where's the 2001 Toyota Tundra?!? |
|
|
They could put about a dozen Ferraris in there as far as I'm concerened |
|
|
|
heh. 300ZX made it..
hooray for cheap mass produced sports cars!!!!1 Z rulez! |
|
|
|
You could fill all 25 slots with Ferraris. They are sex on wheels. |

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. |
