I would have to say it was the Moffat dealer team XB and XCs. All time favorite is Colin Bond. The reson i like him was the fact you could put him in anything and he could drive the **** off it. My least favorite would have to be Big Rev Kev geesss that guy sh1ts me.

Even though it never really did anything, I must admit to a soft spot for Dick Johnson's Mustang during the 80's...

Goss's race coupe was a 351 XA GT!!! not a 302 coupe! His road cars were 302 GS coupes but nothing like his race car GT. My Favourites: Moffat's Phase 2, Phase 3, Boss mustang and DJR Greens-tuf falcon.

Yeah I would have to go for either the DJ mustang (such a well turned out car) or the current 888 cars, Lowndesy rocks and the cars look the goods as well as go like a scolded cat!

Marcos Ambrose's #4 Pirtek BA Falcon he drove in 2003 (the first full season of V8 Supercars I ever watched) in which he won the championship
 Marcos Ambrose's #4 Pirtek AU Falcon he drove in 2002, in which he won the 2002 Sandown finale round (the first full round of V8 Supercars I ever watched - which established my support of Marcos Ambrose)  Those two have to be my all time favourites... yes I only recently got into the sport... although some classics I like would be... Tru-Blu XD (never seen it in action, but it looks cool)  Moffat XY GTHO (I like HO's... and I just learned about the VB carton for 40 laps thing searching for this.. haha)  And the Moffat Mustang Boss302 (awesome looking car)

Stevie richards and jason not-so-bright's EL Falcon. Sure - it's no phase 3 but I think any car owner gets a warm fuzzy feeling seeing "their car" done up in supercar format.
That and it was the last ford to win at the mountain. I dont have pictures of the richards/bright car but here's seto and cromleys...
