I thought I'd post this up,
This was the foundation for me becoming into cars (when I was a kid), might bring back some memories for people who used to play, I guess it was the Grand Turismo of its time.
Was played in DOS back when windows 3.1 was released.
Heres the link for the game, its very simple but fun to play when your bored.

http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/34/Street+Rod+2+-+The+Next+Generation.html

-Has many Fords (Classics)
- Modify Your ride (Engine, Driveline, Tyres Etc)
- Drag Race different cars for money and pink slips

Hope you all enjoy!
