The first part of that list I could probably pick up in running shape for under $3k easily...the earlier models though like the Model A and Model T get a bit more expensive.

Thats where you are wrong...they are perfect daily vehicles.

Parts are cheap
Emissions exempt
Theres a thousand of them out there for next to nothing.

Besides speaking hypothetically if there were no imports then the car market would be completely different and we may not have 90% of even the domestic vehicles we see now. So how do we choose from vehicles that may or may not exist in this alternate reality

Exactly what i was talking about in my previous post. No one is taking that into consideration.

Focus wouldn't exist without the bond between Ford and Mazda either

Corvette is the only GM car I would buy. If not for a car then I may look at their SUV's but as a last resort. If I would buy a car it would probably be a Chrystler product (if imports were out of the question).

:werd: is anything from the SRT-4 derived from any mitsubishi parts? so in essence there really isnt any "domestics" anymore because they have all import parts in them.
