Thread: Ten second hand cars that ooze cool!

Defender I can understand or in fact any Landy of that shape , Moke yeah pretty cool 240z again pretty cool (one was crushed just last week by the local ENVIRONMENTAL VANDALS or scrappers). But where was the greatest Aussie car of all time the CHARGER!!!!!!!!!.

Couldn't agree more with number 9 but i may be biased .

My GTV6 still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it and the and nothing can beat the sound of the V6 going for the redline....

Cheers

How is a 928 Porsche cool?

I'd sooner buy a Renault Alpine!

I don't have the dough JDNSW Mind you it's like a smaller defender isn't it? Loud, slowish and leaky, but fun and cool

A Chinese Moke? OMG! check this out...

1000cc Gasoline Classic Mini Moke Made In China - Buy Moke,Mini,Auto Product on Alibaba.com

They are only $7500 US - mind you it will probably jump up to $30,000 AUD if they ever get imported into Australia (we get badly ripped off with car prices in this country). It says they have 970 cc engine - wonder if it's the BMC A Series engine, a copy, or something different altogether. However, I still want one! Sorry if this is off topic in a Defender forum, but I love quirky British cars - well almost - Leyland Marinas didn't quite make it to my top 1000 favourite cars of all time.

I assume they have an existing engine that meets modern emission standards and is in series production for some other car (same for the transmission). This would definitely not be the A-Series or anything related to it. I note that it has EFI and a five speed box, both of which hardly match the original! I don't think the suspension has anything in common with the original either, again, probably off some other vehicle.

The likes of ANY Dodge challenger, Plymouth Superbee or roadrunner, and Charger are just waaaayy up there for me. Any Hemi actually.

VW, we grew up with a splitty 1967 with a UK Dormobile camper conversion, would be worth 50K+ now if we still had it

Lots of Beetles, and Valiants too.

Cool cars are very personal, I like stuff others don't

928s are cool. I still remember seeing my first one as a kid, it was futuristic looking and stopped me dead in my tracks. A nice original one in the right spec would be very cool. Not as cool as a 70s or 80s 911 but still cool.

I like all the cars on that list. Plenty of others are more worthy IMO but its still a good list.

Alpines are cool as well.

I saw a convoy of Bolwell Nagaris on the weekend and they blew the cool meter to pieces!
