Either the really early or the last year or two AMX's. Also, for some reason, my old '64 Savoy, with some tasteful updates like an OD transmission that can still be operated via the factory pushbuttons, that might be nice.

EDIT: Great, now I'm just wanting my first car back. Thanks a lot!

When in highschool about 10yrs ago I used to detail cars for this guy who exported Escalades, Navigators, Excursions, and 3/4 diesel trucks to Europe. And in 4x4 were usually the flavor they wanted the trucks. He said he was making too much money to stop.

Hated waxing those things by hand. Probably why I don't wax my cars now.

something uniquely American: a belly tank lakester, a 32 highboy, a '64 Lincoln.

Harley Davidson's .. a guy I used to work with, and his brother made lots of play money by purchasing a bike here, jumping through all the hoops required and then selling it in Germany ... I think there was a limit of how many they could do in a yr, which is what made them hold back from making this their living

Dude, that's an awesome idea. It has the added benefit of reducing the number of noisy fart machines in the country. A win win situation

There are so many American cars that would do well on the Autobahn, I'd like to flash to pass a little 911 in this beast.

I'd love a photo of this, doing this, in front of the Green Party HQ or maybe the Audi E-Tron development center.

I'd like to see the driver getting hit in the balls repeatedly.

Just me though.

I'd ship a Merkur XR4Ti over to Europe just to confuse everyone.

A Hellcat anywhere other than North America would be simply nuts and probably too loud for most people, so that's what I pick.

Go to Gatebil in that Hellcat and it's not nuts enough.

What about a decent 1987-1993 Mustang GT? There's still enough around that they are relatively cheap, you would just have to watch out for rust or previous owner harm.

I don't think that there are many modern cars that make other countries salivate, but my understanding is that the Japanese die for late '60s Mustangs.
