No, but here are a couple more

Is that a 4 door Omega? Cool to see something like that preserved.
I didn't point out that I've got a '76 Cobra, but it's already lost it's original paint and drivetrain. Really I'd be happy with the original paint and interior, and it'd be as simple as getting a decent 302 in it with a 4 or 5 speed. A t-top King Cobra or as small as the IIs are a custom Cobra roadster would be cool. IIs are definitely less common and original IIs probably rare. Atleast the II front end lives in many a hot rod.

10 wimpiest muscle cars ever - Yahoo! Autos
Interesting article. Probably not too many purists when it comes to these cars.

Any better pics of the hubcaps? Those look wild.
-
Unfortunately that may be the case. I'll atleast save the grill, emblems, hubcaps, and steering wheel. Even the buckets are too nice to be crushed, and power seats still work, but I'm not sure what I'd do with them.

they're on there, you just have to scroll down on the right side, but here is direct link to them

I saw a DMC12 in the background, so maybe that explains it.

Hey Phipps, my family has only crushed a handful of cars since I last posted about it. My uncle is also starting to warm up to the idea of selling some of his cars that are just sitting, so if the guys want to come out sometime just let me know.
-
A BIG car related improvement would be to have parts listed actually fit the cars they list! Rather than listing specific cars or models for items like stick-on chrome do-dads and crap, list them under generic fit. Frustrating to see 150 listings or things that will not fit your car.
You mean Amphicars never had plastic ventiports? Haha I dislike that too. I've thought about selling on eBay, but it seems like too big of a hassle for lesser value items.
-
Anyone have a set or either?
-
I'd look for a '68-72 Coupe Deville or Eldorado especially a '70 or '71 Eldorado. That way you get some performance too.
-
My dad has a bunch, but is about to scrap them all but one. However I might keep one. I really dig some of the Corvair concepts, Lakewoods, and Rampsides.
-
It's not just mechanicals. Could be lots of bondos under that pretty paint.

Honorable Mention:
1962 Chrysler Imperial/1962 Chrysler 300
Not sure what my obsession is with cars from 1962, no special meaning, wasn't born yet, they just made them great that year!
Well why don't you buy mine and save it from the scrapyard. Space is going to be limited before long, and it has to go.
-
Plenty of other classics worthy of being on there instead.
What about a list of 1971 and newer bodied?
Some of my favorite are 71 Eldo, 72 Mark IV, 71 Riv, 80 Seville, 98-02 T/A, 87 El Camino SS Choo Choo, 81 Capri, etc. I'm sure many on here would go with the Reatta and Allante.

Cars were also underrated for insurance purposes. Insurance is definitely the reason cause even after the gas crunches in the 80s, HP never got close to the levels in 1970. Gas had it's part too as people didn't want the big blocks or land yatchs as much anymore.
