I vote two stroke outboards. They have a better power to weight ratio.

Win M 12. They did and I did.
I expect there would be a lot of buyers for it and those big caddies. Black top over pink body with whitewalls.

For original prices, yes.
I wouldn't go looking for any of those but I'd be in line for roadrunners, GTX, super bees, chargers, mach 1 mustangs with big blocks, tri five chevys, impalas, galaxies, chevelles, GTO's, fairlanes, 56 ford glass top, 56 ford retractable tops, victorias, crown victorias, C2 corvettes...
And some trucks....

They wouldn't have stopped making them if very many people had kept buying them.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Yes on two-stroke outboard with twin cylinders like my old Evinrude 3.5hp Ducktwin with weedless drive.
Today's small outboards are noisy, vibrating single cylinder, rigs......

If I needed another shotgun, I'd love a new Model 12.

I still have a 2 stroke outboard, 9.9hp Johnson. The 4 stroke is too heavy for my little Port-a-bote. Without the old one, I'd have to go to a smaller engine.

I would add Daytonas, and '55 T-Bird Port hole. Had a '60 Bug, 65 van and 72 van don't miss them one bit.

Assuming in their original configuration, based on having drove and rode in several VW Beetles and a few Corvairs back in the day, other than at most maybe just as fair weather Sunday drive toys, I'd have to pass on buying either one for normal daily transportation.

You can keep everything but the 2-stroke outboard. I still like them better.

Seeing Norton reminds me of why they quit making television sets in England.
