It's gotta be the GT40, the original.
Closely followed by the new one!

But seeing as how I drive one....Better say an XB Coupe

XW-XFs...I like them all for their own reasons.

Pity I've never owned one, although we had an XF for 13 years.

If I had to go for one, I'd go for an XB Goss with the green.

This was the first Ford I fell in love with too.

Also a 67 or 70 mustang, like the styling of both of them.

The new Mustang, and have to agree the new Shelby looks the goods.

'70s US Fairlane Coupe

The Sierra Cosworth as well, not a pretty car in the grand scheme of things but I do like them
