The cars time forgot

LU8 · 03-16-2015, 05:50 AM

Some rides didn't get the credit they deserve when new, or were once well known and have become forgotten in the interim. Like the Citation X-11 and blown 312 Y block '57 Fairlanes. What other cars would you add?

Citation X-11

Ford Fairlane

'67 Firebird 400

In 1981, I went to a dealership to buy a new car. I looked at a X-11, but ended up with a new Z28 instead. They both cost about the same!

If you think that`s bad, how about on an episode of the TV show "Chop, Cut, Rebuild" they actually went and wasted the time and money to rebuild a Bricklin and then put it in SEMA!!! I watched that episode and I couldn`t believe anyone would restore a Bricklin, much less put it in SEMA.
