A fair few of my mates are into their yank stuff, one of them had a charger until around 18mnth's ago where he flogged it off to finish what was left on his mortgage....the other's just have things like bull nose and eagle eyed T/A's, a camaro and a day van, stuff like that. If I were to have a yank it would have to be a Mustang.....would go well with my tool box at least

I love classic muscle cars - Mustang Fastbacks (and yes, I am a sucker for "Eleanor" from the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds ), the Camero Z28 Benn posted, along with the classic Charger and Challenger (I also really like the new Charger), Pontic GTO and Pontiac Trans Am Firebird - all fucking gorgeous!

and the mercury is cool too.

I like Eleanor from Gone in 60... but I'm well aware that its a pretty modified example and the standard ones dont really do it for me.

Alternatively, pretty much any car that Chip Foose has done on his program would be nice.

I'm with you - I prefer the kitted ones mostly, but a good standard one is still lovely to look at. The Fastback/GT Mustangs (first gen) just had such a lovely shape!
