bicycles with car names

[heartlandcruisers]

well after aqquiring my huffy Camaro I decided that these bikes with car names are kinda cool and want to see more.
I know of huffy Camaro ,huffy Eldorado, Schwinn jaguar, Schwinn corvette,. and the bronco bike but not much else.
if you have these and want to share feel free to post pic and what it is. figured I will start with mine I know it's been posted a lot but dang I do love this bike it's such a sweet riding machine
my 1967-70(unsure of the exact year) huffy Camaro.
the chainguard is off in this picture as I am redoing

Some more:
Monark El Camino:

Chevy El Camino:

Monark Thunderbird:

Ford Thunderbird:

And, like outsider13 mentioned, there was a Huffy Corvair:

Named for the infamous (but, imo, totally charismatic) Chevy Corvair:

BTW, none of these are mine. Until some auto manufacturer makes a car called the "Industrial News Boy", I won't have much to offer, although i did recently pick up an opaque blue Schwinn Super Sport:

(again, not my bike, but mine is a '72 in Opaque Blue, just like the picture... mine's in pieces right now, though...)
"Super Sport" is the designation that Chevrolet uses to distinguish cars with their signature performance option package, like this '72 Camaro SS:

I'll probably add a few more tomorrow.

Sekine GTO

Pontiac GTO

$1000??? Wow.

from wiki:

The Monkeemobile's origins began in 1966 when Dean Jeffries was asked to design and build a car for a new TV show called "The Monkees". Two cars were contracted to be built: One as a main TV car, to be used on the television program, and one as a promotional show car, to tour hot rod and car shows around the United States. The first version originally sported a 6-71 supercharged engine, a solid mounted rear axle (no springs) and extra rear end weight. This was to enable the car to "pop wheelies." Because the car had too much power and was difficult to drive, the original blower set up was removed and a dummy blower was fitted. The second car was used as a touring car for auto shows and promotional events. Both were used on The Monkees TV series, one during the first season and both throughout the second season.
After the television show ended, both cars were offered back to Dean Jeffries for $1,000 each, who had right of first refusal. He declined to purchase the cars because he felt he could build new ones cheaper.

A replica sold on eBay in 2012 for $65,000. I can only guess either of the originals would be quite a bit more.

Since I am an AMC collector too, here's a head badge I own. Unfortunately not the whole bike. Somewhere I have an "AMC" head badge too. I also know that there's an AMX and a Javelin bike, I used to have a Javelin chainguard..

Here's a picture of my 1971 Ford Torino Cobra and a picture of a Vista Torino 500 muscle bike. I'm a Huffy guy and have several builds going on but would like to do a Vista Torino someday.
