Citation X-11

Ford Fairlane

'67 Firebird 400

I'd add the factory E-code dual-quad 1957 Fairlane 500



1962 "Super Stock 413" Belvedere
1963 Super Duty 421 Catalina
1964 Polara 330 426 Hemi (nothing less than a drag racing car let loose on the street)
1964 Thunderbolt (another drag racing car let loose on the street)
1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone
1966 Barracuda Formula S
1967 non-SS427 Impala....which could still have the 427 when you optioned the car
1968 Cougar GTE
1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoilers: "Cale Yarborough Special" for the West Coast customers, and "Dan Gurney Special" for the east coast ones
1970 Buick GS455 Stage 2 (back-door Buick racing effort for select racers, even the special hood came from straight from Buick)
1970 Torino King Cobra (look that one up!)
1971 SC/360 Hornet
1972 Montego GT
1973 Buick Century Gran Sport Stage 1
1974 Laguna Type S-3
1984 Dodge Omni GLH (Goes Like Hell!)

...and I only hit some high spots

In a sense I suppose you could call it a forgotten car, they only made 547 GNX`s for one year (1987) as compared to the better known Grand National`s production numbers.

I'm sure Mercury and Buick are choked full of beautiful cars I'd love to have...but what makes them forgotten is 1... I don't know what they are... and 2.. I'd probably prefer their Ford/Chevrolet counterpart.

I've seen a handful of Cyclones I'd perform sex acts for (no homo)

So if you, personally, don't know about the car that's what makes the car "forgotten"?

No no no. That makes you "unaware".

1970 Buick GSX: 510 lb/ft at 2800 rpm from the factory. My Camaro with the LS3 only makes 420 lb/ft....and at 4600 rpm!

A-Body, just like the Chevelle SS, 442, and GTO
