I was watching the movie Air and Ben Affleck's 80s attire in one scene really cracked me up:

There is a new AC Cobra on the market. 
Like the original, the car is hand-built in the UK, and uses an American Ford V8 engine, in this case it is a supercharged 5.0L "Coyote" V8 with more than 600BHP.
On the down side, it will cost you about $350,000 USD, but an original from the 60s will cost you well over a million bucks, and won't be as fast.

Wifes car is a 5 liter 351 v8. I frequently get challenged at lights.

Ford? A Ford 351 V8 would be a 5.8L. Her car must be a classic, or close to it. Ford hasn't made that engine since 2002, at least in the US.

It's a 2002 au series 3 ford falcon. It will be worth a fortune in 15 years? Its 1 of about 300 made . My investigation has found so far. Our son has been asking to buy and "park" it up.
Wife just has as a work car. We both love v8s.
Venom red.
Russ
Yeah, the Series III Falcon was probably the last use of the 351 Windsor engine. Ford switched over to OHC V8s.

Ozzy's had the roadrunner 351 Cleveland? In their xy's Falcons. They were banned because too many young people got killed in them.
I recently had a "test run" against a late model v8 Mercedes. He buttoned off first. It launches!!

Btw I bought the car when my wife had her car written off when hit from behind. Mazda 808. So I wanted to put her in a big car for protection.
I went into ford dealership.
My instructions were v8, grunty sounding and red. Team Hutchison ford knew timaru had one. 2 hrs away.
I said get it up here in chch.
Few days later I turned the key and the twin exhaust had the right notes.
Deal done.

A little trip down memory lane. Did the show ever make it to your country?

You'd like the Munster's family car. It has a V8 with ten weber carbs.
It was designed and built by the famous George Barris. I got to sit down with him at a Carroll Shelby event. What an incredibly creative guy.Barris did a lot of famous TV and Movie cars...
