My choice is the Delta 88:

PIC: I'm going for all new and exciting
The '79 Mustang was a new-from-the-ground-up design offering great style and class-leading handling. It came with a 132 HP Turbo 4 or a 140 HP, 5.0 L V8. Not much in the way of power but, get this, it weighed less than 3,000 lbs!
I'll take the pace car replica.

John, FYI.... that's a '74, not a '79. Here's the '79 T-Bird...

IMO the '77 - '81 Bonneville was one of the better looking cars from that period.
