The answer isn't always "Miura" or "E-Type"...

My personal opinion, this is the most achingly gorgeous car ever produced by man...

Aside from the (deservedly) common answers of Miura or E-Type Jag, what car do you find the best looking ever?

I knew a girl in high school whose dad had a DeTomaso. I think it was a Pantera, though, not a Mangusta. And she was gorgeous. I wonder where she is now.

The best looking car ever made is a seriously easy question to answer.

One of my favorite cars. I remember seeing one for $15,000 around 1979, and seriously considered it, but knew the upkeep was high and this was when new cars were selling for under $10K.

I do regret not buying a 911 when they could be had relatively cheaply. A friend bought a 1972 or 1973 911 Targa for $8500 in 1980. He was so fat, he had to remove the top and step into it. But he had a ball with it.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.
