13 out of 18.

But if I had only gone with my 2nd choice on two of those answers I'd have gotten 15 out of 18.

At the end, it said I got 21 out if 21. I only answered for 18. So I guess I only got 18 out if 21.

RACE ON!!!

Same here! Only the poncho fooled me, the valve covers looked too big and the zoomies looked too symmetrical for a poncho, I thought it was a BBC.

Great game!

17/18 for me too. The Pontiac got me too. Pipe spacing didn't look right for a Poncho to me.

I looked for one at every new picture. That surely would have been a good one for fooling a lot of folks...ESPECIALLY an early 327 AMC!
