No one has done a Rushmore in awhile so i have taken it upon myself to start onr...Hope no one minds...so without further delay......

Edited to go back to the original meaning of Rushmore "the" instead of "yours" :)

How many Pontiac Firebirds are there in Sweden? (And what do they go for?)

Eerie...I was thinking of this same topi during the drive to work today.

'53 Corvette
'57 Chevy
'67 Mustang
'60s VW Beetle

And a special shout out to the '69 Dodge Charger (already mentioned elsewhere today). :)

I think since this is "Mount Rushmore," the monument should be restricted to American cars.

I mean, I don't see Winston Churchill's face carved into a mountain anywhere around here, do you?

A quick search gave me 10 hits for the Firebird, none older than 1986 though, that one would go for $5000.

Edit: Looking a little deeper I found 3-4 from late 60's, early 70's, for about $5-6000 each.

This is one of them: (link to picture)

You just gave me a new dream: to cruise around Sweden in cherry Firebird. Sweet.
