1968 "Shelby-ized" Mustang Fastback, First of all, this is a true GT... NOT a clone. This bright-orange, ’68 Mustang has been “Shelby-ized” by adding a front and rear spoiler, and “Shelby-stripes”. It came stock with a “390” motor and one 4-barrel carb. It now has two 4-barrel carbs, courtesy of a 1963 Galaxy 500 manifold. The carbs are Holley “4548s”, flowing 450 CFM - each. The estimated horsepower is +/- 360. It has all the desirable (at least in 1968) features – It's a true "GT", with a 4-speed tranny, Big Block 390 FE engine, 9 inch Ford “posi” rear end, front disc brakes, fog lights in grille, black deluxe interior with fold down rear seat, walnut steering wheel, factory tachometer, center 4-speed console, overhead console, and speaker grilles on the doors.

1968 Classic Red Mustang Fastback, This 1968 Classic Mustang Fastback is an immaculate, candy-apple red. The model year "1968" was marked by two big changes, First, the 427 and 428cid engines were an option in the 68, - and  federally mandated shoulder belts were included as standard equipment. Cosmetically the '68 sported a new look on the front. The horizontal bar from the grille was gone; and added was -- chrome trim around the grille opening. The dual scoops on sides were replaced by a one-piece chrome scoop. This 'Stang has a "302" Motor, 4-barrel carb, and a 4-speed tranny.

2001 Honda S-2000,  Honda broke into the traditional sports car market with a decidedly un-Honda-like two-seater. The S-2000 came equipped with a hot, 240-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which "red-lines" at 9,000 RPM. It couples to a tight, six-speed manual gearbox. The S2K was made for performance and to reflect Honda's racing heritage. Curiosities included a digital speedometer and a red "Start-button" on the left of the dashboard, rather than the usual key starter. Not only does the S-2000 offer optimal 50/50 weight distribution, it also features race-inspired, in-wheel suspension, aimed at precise handling. Body styling makes use of angular, chiseled forms, evolved from Honda's "SSM" concept-car seen at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show. Factory roll bars are installed behind the seats. Standard equipment includes electric power steering, all-disc antilock braking, leather upholstery, air conditioning, power windows and locks, high-intensity headlights, and 16-inch alloy wheels. A stereo system with CD player is hidden behind a retractable panel, low on the dashboard. A Torsen limited-slip differential drives the rear wheels.
