Cool vote from me!

I love the look of this car and it has genuine racing pedigree with wins in NASCAR.

The car is outrageous at a time when cars were meant to be outrageous. The wing and aero parts made it look like it could do 200mph even though it fell short by a good margin.

The car is classic Americana.

It looks a bit silly in pictures, but I promise, in person it looks pretty damn cool! Obviously, not the best car around corners, but still, I give it a cool, just because it was a car from when they actually used stock cars in Stockcar racing

SubZero. One of a very few American cars to be worth well over 100K at nearly 40 years old. The Superbird/Daytona cars have been a goal of mine for a very long time.

The look is very progressive over the boxy cars of the late 60's, especially with the 24 inch wing on the back.

It looks like a bastardised Batmobile. Uncool.
