How many times are people going to re-write the same list of cars??

Slow news weeks, I guess...after fall introductions, before show season...

Someone traded in an Excel to us last week.  I guess they chose that name because of its ability to burn oil and rust out.

So true and yet then you have the Wheel Scene web site has the 12 best classic cars and funny that one of the cars is on their list that showed up on this list as worst.

They start their best list off with the Porsche 914 followed by the rest listed below:

 

12th place - 1975 Porsche 914

11th place - 1970 MG MGB

10th place - 1964 Ford Thunderbird

9th place - 1930 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan

8th place - 1966 Ford Country Squire

7th place - 1970 Ford Mustang Mach I 428 Cobra Jet

6th place - 1970 Datsun 240Z

5th place - 1963 Studebaker Avanti
