Bob Miller Prowler Junkie Posts: 4576 From: Alexandria, Virginian USA Registered: OCT 2003	posted 06-15-2005 01:42 PM Over the years we've all seen many cool names the manufacturers put on their performance cars; Charger, Viper, AMX, Chevelle, GTO, Prowler, Torino, etc. For me the best name ever put on a performance car that really signified raw power and fury was the Mercury "Cyclone" of the late 60s. I'm curious what others think was the great name ever put on a performance car.

The article states the before Roadrunner was picked that "LaMancha" was concidered, I'm glad that one of the guys kid watched the Bugs Bunny Roadrunner hour on saturday mornings with his dad and was able to convince the upper management that Roadrunner would be a good name for the cheap & fast musclecar Shelby Mustang Boss Mustang Mach 1 Firebird GS I read a classic car magazine by Hemmings and it has articles about cars from the 20's and 30's and in many of the right ups they talk about the performance of these cars. They don't compare to the muscle cars of the 50's and 60's but each decade has it's own muscle car. Hudson Hornet & Chrysler 300 (letter cars) from the 50's Max wedge & 409 no need to name the car they were in the early 60's some cool named cars I've owned `67 Barracuda (273 Hipo motor) `67 Formula "S" Barracuda (340 4 speed) `69 Roadrunner (440) `70 Challenger (340) `69 SS Chevelle (396/375) `70 Grand Coupe Barracuda (383) `74 Camaro (350/stick) `71 `Cuda convertible (383) `72 Challenger Rally (340 4 speed) `71 Mach 1 (351 Cleveland) `69 Charger SE (383)

Anyone want me to pick it up for them? The outer plastic was partially torn off. I would check the contents before purchasing. It was $ 25. I forget what scale now.

SILVRKAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 456 From: Capon Bridge, WV USA Registered: JAN 2005	posted 06-16-2005 08:32 AM PROWLER-VIPER-CROSSFIRE - Chrysler seems to find the just right name for most of their cars. My all time favorite would have to be my '67 Barracuda, neat fish, great car, but what happened when AMC did a fish-remember the Marlin, cool fish,awful car!
