Ronnie I hope I'm not coming across as too eccentric, or overly enthusiastic. But dare I suggest that we make every single day of the year as

'National Ford Pinto Appreciation Day

This type of recognition would be truly deserving, of this once in a lifetime American innovation.

I just wish more people, especially our present generation, could experience and drive this Detroit legend firsthand.

The wagon is ideal for additional utility purposes, and the authentic Mahogany wood grain accents are a superb touch to be sure.

I still prefer however, the simplistic and graceful lines of the original Pinto. Many have tried duplicating, none have come close to it's pure perfection.

Thank you Pinto for your technical, artistic and historical contributions to the American car industry

The Chevelle is one of the most iconic muscle cars ever. I would just make it better. 660HP! I also forgot to mention the upgraded suspension - that's also a needed upgrade when doing a custom car.

PS - Don't call it a kit car. The Dynacorn body shells are officially licensed by GM and are considered an OEM replacement part.

It wouldn't be a regular Chevelle, though. It would have a new frame by Street Rod Garage, a new body shell by Dynacorn Year One, a big block crate motor by Nelson Racing Engines - their 572CID (9.4L) EFI daily driver series, a Tremec 6-speed manual, and a custom white interior.

From a quick search the Ford-150 series appears to be the overall best selling vehicle in USA for a few years running.

The best built car would be the Cadillac CTS.

Out of the 10 top best selling vehicles made in USA, Toyota makes four of them.

after the word got out that the 140 c.u. engine was a POS,
