If we include the falcon Ute... :v:

Good game folks, I'll be interested to see the stats.
No love for the ute :(
You're not going to be able to find a 70s falcon coupe on the street or in a driveway even in Australia. You'd have to know already which garage to break into. Surprisingly '70s fords were cheap and common in '79.
Meanwhile, falcon utes are just parked out on the street, and also are just better than some antiquated ford v8, and lots of storage space in the back for food, water and fuel.

Also no love for the cinnamon and raisin roll?
I haven't had a cinnamon roll for decades but thought it holds together pretty well so is not messy. Also the 70 y/o volunteers working at the red cross cafe at my first job sure did make an awesome one that kept me going all day and I needed nothing else. If the apocolypse comes, get a ute or truck and rescue a granny that's good at baking and can make do without ingredients because brought up poor, and bonus if brought up on a farm

Next year I'll remember to actually answer every question so I don't disappear after a few Qs. Was doing pretty decent, too, up to that point.

I saw a XA GT 351 Coupe a few weeks ago and it was a goddamn huge shock esp as it was STOCK. I dont think I have seen a loving stock Falcon Coupe in twenty years.....?

Dont tel the USA about how awesome and indestructable Falcon Utes are, we dont want them disappearing too!

I went for something highly impractical that I could put the most obnoxious zoomies on that will shoot giant fireballs out through the hood. Or through the fender. I'm not picky.

I never play to actually try and get a sheep answer, or to be deliberately awkward and try to get aces. I just put what I actually think for the answer and see where that fits with everyone, just seems more interesting that way.

Thanks for running it again, MrChips.

I want you all to imagine a hybrid, covered in spikes and armor plates, but still capable of out ranging all other vehicles in the blasted, fuel-scarce wasteland. Tell me you wouldn't be the most terrifying warrior around. Nobody would be able to match you in an extended chase.

I probably should have gone with it, but I already -own- a P71, and this fucker skids like a bitch any time the roads are snowy. Cherokee won't care about guts in the treads.

TBF "The car in my driveway" was almost what I put, and is probably the practical choice in a real-life Mad Max scenario. Hell, Max had the Interceptor as a work car before things really went off the rails.

I'm not fond of the P71, actually. When I think "crown vic cop car" the mental image for me will always be an early P72. LTD Crown Vics are basically my favourite Ford.

My first love remains the Maverick, but the old Crown Vic is right next to it as Fords go. My P71 is serving pretty well for what I paid for it.
