    Question 4 Decades and your favorite cars

    Just to see what others are thinking around here. Let's do an informal survey to check-out peoples cars interests beyond the Mercury Marauder.

    You can pick any four decades and any 4 cars you'd like to own per decade. That's a total of 16 cars.

    To avoid Pie in the Sky non-sense. They have to be cars affordable by Joe-Six-Pack , not Tour De-Elegance Show winning collector cars that only the filthy rich can afford.

    I'll start off.

    1960's 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 7-Litre ( 428 C.I.)
    1969 Ford Torino Talladega (428CJ)
    1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler (428CJ )
    1969 Ford Boss 429 Mustang

    1970's 1970 Mustang Boss 351
    1977 Oldsmobile 442
    1977 Pontiac Trans Am ( Smokey and the Bandit w/TA 6.6L)
    1974 Pontiac Trans AM ( SD-455 4-Speed)

    1980's 1987 Buick Grand National / GNX
    1988 Turbo Coupe Thunderbird ( 5-Speed )
    1987 Monte Carlo SS ( Aerocoupe )
    1987 Camaro Z-28 IROC ( 5.7L)

    1990's 1994 F-150 Lightning Pick-Up ( I own one)
    1994 Thunderbird Super Coupe ( 5-Speed)
    1993 Mustang Cobra
    1993 5.0L Thunderbird ( Davey Allison or Bill Elliott package)

    1970 Plymouth Superbird, Hemi, 4spd
    1970 Buick GNX (Stage 1)
    1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS1, 4spd
    1970 Torino GT, 429 SCJ, 4spd, drag pack, white bucket interior, Competition Yellow paint

    Man. What a thought provoking thread! I know I added an extra car for the 1970's, but there are way too many cool cars from that era! I would have like to added a 1975 Cosworth Vega and a few others. Now, I just gotta win the lottery to buy a big enough garage for all these cars and the dough to buy the cars themselves!

    In 69 you couldnt get a 440 in either car unless it was a 6 pack/barrel. Unless thats what u meant by "69 1/2"
