Thats a bit harsh, for what it is and the cost of it I thought they were OK, I had two of them, and whilst they could have done with another 20 kw or so they were relaible, handled well enough and were as cheap as chips to run.

But no I certainly did not vote for them as the best Ford model

That could only be the Falcon

Any two door Ford for me, I had a 65 mustang fastback and a 67 GTA 390 big block fastback and regret selling them years ago, currently have a V8 Capri and a BA ute. If a new falcon sedan ever gets made in two doors I will be first inline, turbo or V8. I also have an AU V8 family car which I believe are so underated.

I'm going to be an oddball and not even choose anything remotely new.

1951 Mercury two door coupe.
Followed close second by 1932 Ford...and not the usual deuce coupe...I'd love a Crown Victoria model.

Oh yes, they're pretty awesome as well.

Also, interesting fact, Mach I Mustangs...especially red ones...are the only car on Earth that can go into a narrow alleyway on two wheels facing one direction, and come out the other end on the other two wheels. Amazing capabilities...

Good to see some Esky lovers out there. Although I don't own one yet, a BDA powered 2 door MK1 with forest flares or 2 door RS 2000 with a Cossie turbo would be fun. In the build is my 73 TC XLE Cortina and yep The Falcon but I like so many of the models, can't choose just 1!!
