Mine is a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Looks good, Hemi is a beast, and first stock car to break 200mph on a closed course.

Ferrari 250 series is my favorite, but I also love the typical american classics...stingrays, AC cobras, shelby Cobras, and 67-69 Camaros/Firebirds. I'm not too into classics, but those are my favorites.

My favorite is the 57 Chev. Like the 67-69 Camaro, Dogde Charger, Hemi are good horsepower engines.
Early Corvette's.

GTO-TT, you have some nice cars, what do the run in the 1/4 mile?

TheMan5952, Thanks, I have never been on a drag strip
Just use the roads last speeding ticket was 540 dollars.

I like the Boss Mustangs, the 60's Camaro Coupes and the Javilens.

GTO-TT/Chev57,
$540 sounds pretty big... how fast were you speeding??? :)
Also, you mean Mitsubishi GTO, right? Just want to clear it up...

igor@af, Yes the GTO is Mitsubishi, most of the cars here
are from Japan. In the US I think they are called 3000GT
VR4. I was 55kph over that was 2 years ago. Do that now and you start walking to work. That was in the 56
pickup testing the blower, How do you make them noisey can't hear that nice blower niose, Thanks.

Yep,
I know you guys have everything there :(
Skylines GTOs etc etc..
I used to live in Japan for 6 years, and I miss these monsters

1967 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra GT 500 with 428 engine!

I thought it was the 427 CobraJet or 427 Super CobraJet in the GT500? I only driven a 69 GT350, that was pretty quick.

GT500 was mostly available with the 428. Some 427 powered cars were made.

I like all classics really, but classic American cars are my main interest. Everything from V16 Cadillacs, finned 50s boats, musclecars, everything.:bandit:

Yea, classics are my Passion too. I'm trying to sell my Civic to get one.

TheMan5952, You will love owning and driving a classic
The feel and the sound and looks, most moden cars lookalike. With Classic's at lest you can tell what they are and what year they are and the value doesn't drop
like new ones.

There were also 429 Cobra Jet available for the GT 500 in '69:smoker2:

Yea, I like driving classic cars. My dad has a 1978 Dodge Tradesman 200. With a Big Block 400 Torqueflite 727 3 speed auto. a Dana 44 Limited Slip. Chin SPoiler, 2 Moonroofs, Rear: LT295/65 R15 and the fronts are LT265/70 R15, Chin Spoiler, Lund Windsheild Visor. Custom Interior.

It's nice, I like it, feels good to have power when I want it.

Yeah thats one cool thing about classics, is that you can always tell the year and make of them, unlike some of these new demented toasters and whacky waffle makers:)

*sigh*

Ferrari 250 GTO and Testarossa
Ferrari 246GT Dino

*yay! my 2nd post.

Heres a pic of what american automobilia is all. Just your rare everyday corvette. Its my 69 Sebring Greenwood Corvette. If any of you car buffs know anything about my car or where I can find another pic of the 69 Sebring, let me know.

I'll trade my Civic for your 'Vette. C'mon, I know you hate the bad gas mileage, and high insurance.

I'm a teenager, I don't have other exspenses, Trade?









J/k, I'm sure your not that stupid.

I live above vegas now but originally from newport. This is not the car for the oregon coast. Heres one for you, I bet you paid more for yours than I did for mine.

Opel GT

http://theopelgtguy.tripod.com/fc8fa0f0.jpg
http://www.opelgtsource.com/redgt_top.jpg

Favorite classic car:
Mercedes SL300 Gullwing.

Gullwing doors are one of the features that automatically make a car cool. If you're keeping score, I have also said the any car with the engine behind the driver is automatically cool.

Therefore the DeLorean is really cool! :D

So, do you like Scissor doors?

This is a future classic:D
http://gallery.rx7club.com/images/3rd/3-gallery-11.jpg

I got mine for free from my dad after my sister drove it till the head gasket blew. But she bought it for $3000.

carmaster@af- damn straight, I will one day own a '70 Boss 302, and I want it to look almost exactly like this one...

http://www.cicchetti1.com/oldbreed/images/70_boss302c.jpg

Now that's a classic muscle car.

Yes, while they seem to be rather rare, they do qualify for my list of features that make a car automatically cool.

Lets recap, in no particular order:

Scissor Doors
Gullwing Doors
Suicide Doors
Hard-Top Convertibles
Mid- or Rear-Engine Drivetrains


Hmmm... what else...? ;)

I'm a big fan of the old Chevy Nomads, especially the '56. You can do so much to those things to make them look good. I think the nicest one I've seen was made by Titus, that guy on the show, Titus. I saw a short clip of it on some car show on saturday afternoon, and it looked real nice.

verboom, only got pic's of 55,57 nomads

I guess i can dream about this

Dreaming some more.......

primera man, great drawing of the 57 here is my sports coupe

GTO-TT/Chev 57......that is one fine 57 you own there.
Nice to see some kiwi's here.
Have you been on the show circuit with it ??....or in a club ??
Myself used to be in the Federal Rodders which sadly is no more.

primera man, Thanks for your comments. I'm in the American Classic Car Club in Christchurch. It's great, not allowed any body mods got to be stock body, allowed mags and runing gear mods, cuts out all the Holdens and
falcans, Hot rods and T buckets has to be American, Have lot's of members with big dollar classic's. Got the sports coupe in the 2000 Snap On calandar, back page {bugger} That pic you posted of the 57 is my wallpaper now looks great. Thanks

GTO-TT/CHEV57....You may be intrested in a couple of others for your wall paper

Lucky last.

Cheers

Where did you find these great pic's

I got them sent to me a while ago. Dont know where he got them from.
Have a few more really cool one's if you want the rest but wont send any more here as they take up a bit of space.
Drop me a email if you want them, and they will be on there way.

Cook, Kris....You gonna drop in a FI 350?

my love affair with classics started young.
Family friends had a GTO, uncle had/has a classic porsche (and a few classic Triumph motorcycles, but that's another story)

In high school, I got to drive the '64 Cadillac Coupe DeVille my grandma bought new from the dealer.
That 429 could move that big boat like you wouldn't believe.
Feels like your driving the living room couch.
And plenty of room in the back for extracurricular activities.

(still got the car in the driveway, but it gets less attention now because....)

A couple years ago I bought a 55 Ford TBird.
The first of the birds, and in my opinion, the best looking. Got it from a family friend who gave me a great deal. I am the second owner (unless you count his dad, then I'm 3rd)
This car is great. Not super fast, I think it was rated at 245hp stock.(?) Not too bad for a two-seater.
I'm sure I get more out of it with my 57 intake, Mallory distributor, and Holley 4160.

Soon I'll have even more hp when I get my McCulloch (precursor to Paxton) blower installed.

Hey, GTO, what kind of blower you got in your truck? How much boost?

Hi, Got a 6/71 only run 5psi still a little high in the compression, on a hot day under load a little pinking. Waiting for the 98ron petrol to come down south that will make it better. The 55-57 T Bird are a great classic. Hope you have lower compression for your blower it's better to run lower compression and higher boost. I have been to lazy to put the lower compression heads on.

oh jesus, you got a real blower!
one of them big ol' hood scoop deals.
sweet. that' one chevy I don't want to see pull up next to me at a stop light.

the blower I got is rated at 5 or 6 psi.
it's the vs57... wild WWII technology.
it's body looks similar to i think paxton sn96 (or something)



my heads are 8.5:1, guys tell me that's about the limit. I'm sure i'll find out...eventually.

take care


for anyone interested, check out www.vs57.com (http://www.vs57.com) for too much info about these old superchargers.

Hi, The truck has lots of room in there, got the blower in without cutting the hood so she is a surprise pack at the lights. 8.5 is a great ratio for a blower. The vs57 looks good, will suit a classic car.

I have to agree with those Charger fans. A 69 loaded with a 383 just peeking up out of the hood has to be one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Dre, got any pics of those cars?

lizard king,

which cars?

here's my bird

http://www.bitchinbirds.com/images/bird.jpg

that was the first day I got it. I have to scan some more.
I've got some of the 64 caddy somewhere at home...gotta scan them if you's interested.

Very very nice looking bird :D

How many of them around these days ?
I guess it's hard to find a really good one.

thanks PrimeraMan,
she's my pride and joy.

If I didn't have the bird, I'd have the money to drop a DET in the g20. ( and probably enough time to get a doctorate in aqstrophysics.)

As for how many of these little birds are left, I was surprised how many are still around. There were about 45,000 made for the 55-57 model years. I'd say more than half are still around, and most of those in as good or better condition than mine.

Another interesting note, it's about as easy to find aftermarket (and original) parts for this car as it is to find aftermarket stuff for the G20.

That really is interesting to hear that.
Are there lots of place's who make new parts for them, or are they just rebuilding the old parts ?

One other thing....they do come in a hard top or soft top ?
Also do they come in a 4 door model, or am i thinking of somethink different ?
I remember seeing a T-Bird in the Auto Trader a while ago and I'm sure it was a 4 door similar to your one.

The Thunderbird was never 4 door in the early years. It became a 4 seater in 1958. They had a snug fitting power top, detachable hard top, or both.

The first three years were the best - like Dre's. I don't like the 58-60 models as much but the 61-63 models are nice. I saw one the other day.

Thanks for the reply. That has cleared that up for me.

primera man-
I got both tops, but on the little bird, the hardtop is pulled off and stored, unlike the bigger ones where they fold back in the trunk automagically, like Lizard King was saying.
The soft top on mine does fold up behind the seat.

And Lizard king-
I'm with you, the little tbirds are the coolest, those mid ones were really weird lookin, and those 3rd generation ones are pretty cool.
I've heard that the batmobile from the 70s tv show was based off a 63 bird. anyone know?

1970 plymouth superbird its just too fun to watch that wing move along like a sharks fin above all the other cars on the showfield.

The first Batmobile was off a 60's Corvette Platform, I saw it before the 90's Batmobile was off a C4 platform also. I think it was anyways. When I saw you could see the V8 Eninge behind the Turbine fan.

I love my old Triumphs, something about the smoth 6s and the Nice easy lines. I just have to wait a few years Till I get my Maters, then get a real Job and can afford to restore one porperly.
(I tried doing it on a budget and failed).


GTO-TT/Chev57-
Dont hold your breath on the 98octane petrol. I dont personaly think its any better than the current 96. They just added more Tolulene and other crap, but didnt actualy improve the quality. My japanses Civic runs worse on the 98 than the 96, and Iv talked to a few people who have said simlar things about thier older cars.

All really Nice cars. I have to try to get some pictures and scan them of my 1967 Plymouth Valiant I bougt last month. I can get some pictures of the van our 1978 Dodge B-200 Cargo Van in there also. I'm getting a Bigblock 400 and TQ727 trans for $150 from this guy I know. I can't wait to build it up and stick it in my valiant.

Although I own a '68 goat, i would have to pick 2

'70 Chevelle LS4
'67 Shelby Cobra

Two amazing machines.

Mine would have to be any mid-year ('63-'67) big block vette. I also love classic Porsches.

My favorite classic car is the Bugatti Type 41, although my list of favorites would number in the hundreds and include Duesenbergs, Packards, pre-war MGs (and some post-war ones), Ford GT40, and probably atleast one model from each brand around the world.

It is correct that the Thunderbird was not offered as a four-door in the early days. Four-door T-birds first appeared in 1967 and stopped production four years later.

The Batmobile from the 1960s TV show was not based on a Corvette. It was on a Ford chassis and based on the styling of a Lincoln showcar of the 1950s (the name of the concept slips my mind at the moment).

Starts with the mighty Duesenberg J and similar - albeit lesser, through american pony & muscle cars, stylish '30s 3-window coupes (even Graham sharknose), on down to the 50s-60s full-size flabsters. Hey I'd even include Nash Metropolitan, descending fully to the Lightburn Zeta (make mine the Sports model). Just as long as they don't exhibit a toyota badge, dare to have some personality, and you can see some chrome.

Closest I've come is a brief sojourn with a stepdown Hudson ragtop, then 8 great years in a '65 Riviera GS; gorgeous styling in/out, rode beautifully and stone-reliable

i love almost all cars made in the 60s thru 70s / also for all of you clasic mucal car lovers have you ever heard of the woodward dream cruse? well its a giant car show on a 8 lane road in detroit michigan its acculy this weekend were you can see every type of clasic car prety much built very cool to see

:eek:

wana race???

but after seeing all of the sweet rides i had to go back to my beater:(

Very nice.

The red corvette in pic #3...wonder if he wants to swap for a Primera :D :D

on my way back from the Petit Le Mans I saw tons of classics heading home from a regional show. There where at least ten mid-year vettes, a few cudas, a lot of GTO's, and others. It brightened up the drive home:)

those are some sweet cars. I can't wait till my car is finished.

dax cobra
built by tvr

As far as Muscle cars go, I am a Mopar guy. I would have trouble picking between a 69' Charger RT, 71' Cuda, and a 70' Challenger RT/SE. I guess it depends on the engine, I would be fine with one of these three; 426 Hemi, 440 Six Pack, or a 528 Hemi. :eek:

Nice, another mopar guy. Fine choices of cars.

I also forgot a 1970 Superbird, and it would have to have a Hemi.

i'm a fan of the camaros. i hope to have a '69 Z28 and do it up as pro street but for road use, so i can terrorize the neighbourhoods!:flash:

Any year Mini,the best and most revolutionized car ever.

Just saw a car I never saw before. Called a Graduate. It's kinda like a cross between an MG and a Fiat. 2 seater, convertable. Anybody know anything about this car or who manufactured it?

i think it is an alfa romeo

1955 Mercedes 300SLR Coupé.

dre is right. It's a trim level on the Alfa Romeo Spider, sold in the US as the Spider Graduate, Spider Quadrafoglio, Spider 2000, and various other names. But they all fall under the Alfa Romeo Spider model name.

The Lancia Stratos. mmmm nice :)

I love all of the old Mustangs before they were redesigned in the 80's. Also the '69 Camaro and the '71 Chevelle are in my top list.

But my all time favorite classic car is the '32 and '33 Ford Coupe. Customized right they are some of the best looking cars out there.

You absolutely CANNOT go wrong with any of the old Shelby Mustangs like the GT350's and GT500's, nor with the 427-powered Shelby Cobra. All Boss Mustangs. And, one of the greatest: the 1971 Chevelle SS 454LS6. Of course, I am a bit biased toward MY 1972 Ford Ranchero 500 powered by a self built classic 302...:finger:

sweet, There was this sweet '69 Plum Crazy Charger R/T with a 383 that came in to my work the other day. Sounded awesome, I love the sound of muscle cars.

:sun: I also like the Shelby but the 1969.
my fav. is 1970 Nova SS

http://www.valiant.org/jplittle.jpg Speaking of Charger R/T's (Hemi) here's my fave

hell yea, that's tight

have a 70 Mach I Mustang w/ a 351C and a four speed...totally restored, engine was balanced and blue printed...its fun to drive

Mine is a 1936 Ford Pickup PRO STREET.468 BB CHevy, blower,narrowed 9", Pewter metallic , no money spared-2 shows, 3 trophies-a real nice driver. Truck is in Nashua, NH
Wanted to enclose pictures, but files are too large. I have a site with 4 good pictures.
xxxoutlaw@aol.com Contact me for pictures- title your message 36 FORD.

HERE IS THE AMAZING PART-----He calls it "MR TRUCKY"
This truck was built by a BLIND MAN with help of family and friends. It became an obsession to build the best truck he could afford. He put his heart and soul in it never planning to sell it cause he feels he will see and drive sometime. That hasn't happened. It is all NEW. Every nut and bolt. He built it, but has never seen or driven it! He wants to sell it-$35,000 U.S. or best offer.
Someone will buy this truck and treasure it forever-it could be you.
One of the finest vehicles I have ever seen and driven! I wish he would keep it- I like driving it. It is the 9th vehicle he built, pictures of 7 of them are in the Don Garlit's Museum in Ocala,Florida.
I can attest to his work- I bought number 8-a 1969 Nova SS 427 called "BLINDMAN"S BLUFF 8"--- AWESOME every where I go.
BELIEVE IT !
Interested in more info, xxxoutlaw@aol.com

92 Plymouth acclaim 2.5 that has a top speed of 124?
Whatya gotta do- drop it off a mountain?

454 El Camino- tough car. I don't have one but
I have 4 cars, both big and small block Chevies. I'll take a 350 or 400 small block over a big block anytime. My 40 Ford Pickup with a 400 blown is compact, lightweight and got 566 hp-and a super nice running engine.
It runs so smooth that you forget it is fast.
The 69 Nova SS 427 is fast, I love it but it would run nice with just a 350, 383, 400 or 440 stroker small block.
The IROC Camaro 305 small block is downright quick for a stocker and knocks down great mileage.. people that ride in this think it's a 350.
73 Vette 350-sweet as can be, just as it is.
On the street, I pick a small block.
On the track, for brute power, it's got to be a big block...... just my opinion though!

1979 Z28 camaro with a 350 SB, 66 GTO, 69 Camaro, Pantera, these are a few of my fav-o-rite things. :D

My all time favorite is the 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Borugham.
And I love the 1962 Chrysler Imperial for its quirky looks.

a 1969 stingray.

In no particular order;

Classic Mustangs(all of em')
Classic F-bodies
Lamborghini Countach
Delorean
57' Chevy(uncle had one as his first car)
Stingray Corvettes
70' Chevelle SS454(mother had one as her first car)
Ford T-bucket rods
Classic Porshes

Oh, the list could go on forever...
:D

Gotta be a '66 GTO, but since I own one, my second favorite would have to be an Aston Martin from one of the Bond movies...or any muscle car with a huge engine.

One of my fave's is the 300SL Gullwing;)

:smoka:

on topics like this I always try to go straight to the back to post my answer before I can be swayed by other answers, thing is, I can never decide. I look through ad see all these great cars I never think about even. And after awhile and a few good pictures, I come back to the same answer everytime....

ALL THE COOL ONES!

Sorry if someone has said this already but I've only just looked at this forum and there's no way I have time to read the last eight pages! My favourite classic is the Jaguar E-Type Coupe, quite different from the muscle and supercars you guys are discussing, but aboslutely stunningly beautiful, in my view one of the best looking cars ever.

69 Camaro! Here is a pic of my first car.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/95182969camaro.jpg

Mine would have to be the 1965 Cadillac Calais Coupe and 1975 Lincoln Mark Series.Two VERY beutiful cars.

Excuse me.I meant, 1979 Lincoln Mark Series.

1967 Corvette Stingray 427. Black. Pants shitter.:silly2: :eek:

Alltime favorite classic car?
Subaru 360 of course! especially the convertible and pre 1962 "standard" models.
Closely following?
DAF - any
Subaru FF-1
Wartburg:)
DKW - sp1000

Favorite car of all time:

71 440+6 cuda, white with black billboards, shaker, rallied out w/ buckets and the pistol grip. I know it's just an expression, but i'd seriously consider giving my right nut for one.

Honorable mention:
Jag xj22
Mercedes Gullwing
plymouth dynoflow
packard 31
64.5 mustang
camero ss/rs
delorean
1941 lincoln / zephyr V-12
56 postless
59 continental
1964 Ferrari 250 GTO
alpine sunbeam
lotus esprit

Mine is the Ferrari F40, that passes as a classic doesn't it.

Well, my fave car are the ones, i can buy in reality within the next 2 years. Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86, Mazda RX7 FC3S, Nissan 200SX RPS13.

if i won lotto, Porsche GT2, BMW M3

opps, sorry just read the topic, after posting!!!:uhoh: :confused:

new list: Toyota Trueno AE86, Toyota corolla KE30, Toyota SR Coupe, Toyota Celica TA22.
No i'm not toyota nut

Favourite classic? There are so many! I would have them all! But here's one I really like, somehow out of the norm, Willys Jeep MB42

Is that the original one?

the two classics i would die to have would be a 1970 boss 429 and a 69 charger with a hemi for obvious reasons:wink:

1975 ford falcon xb gt
http://www.lovefords.org/pages/GreenJeff/XB%20SHOW.jpg

its got a 351ci cleveland, and a 4-speed toploader tranny.

im lookin to buy me one of these coupes, with an old shithouse inline-6 but an exelent condition body. then spend alot of $$$ on a custom built 351 v8 and a c6 auto with transmision-brake. then thousands more on suspention, power steering, brakes, interior trim, sound, etc.

1966 Pontiac GTO

'69 Z28, '87-'88 Monte Carlo SS, '87 Grand National T-Type, '66 GTO, '71 Hemi, '73-'75 Stingray, '70 Chevelle just to name a few. I would've thrown in a Ford, but I'm only into real muscle cars.

we ended up selling it to a freind of my dads who is restoring it (again) ... hopefully I can go out there sometime and check out how it is now ... id love to see it again.

Another i like that ive never seen in real life is the Lamborgini mirua, also really like chevy impala's .... id list more but cant think of em off the top of my head .... oh yea have any of you guys heard of that boat/car they used to have ... it was the amphicar or some shit ... man those are pretty pimp ...

Ooh, this one's a no brainer.

My favorite classic car is a 1969 Camaro Z28 with a DZ 302 (aka, a factory Z, not a clone!) and a Muncie 4-speed tranny. Preferably in Hugger Orange, but I'd take one in any color.

I also like the '69 Yenko Camaros. Actually, I like Camaros. Period. I'd love a shot at driving the "Crusher" Camaro that was one of Hot Rod magazine's project cars. That was one bad-ass ride.

pretty much any italian car really

I really like '31, '32, and '40 Fords. '34, '55, and '57 Chevys are very nice, too. Other favs include the '49 Mercury, '55 and '57 T-bird, C1, C2, and C3 Corvettes (especially the '63 split window C2), '64-'72 Chevelles, '67 and '69 Camaros, '68-'74 Chargers, '70-'73 'Cudas, and most any Mustang from '64 1/2 to '73. Can't leave out the Pontiac GTO or early '60's Impalas.

Too many to list, really, but there's an idea of most of them.

Favorite chick mobile - 67 Camero Convertible - bright Red - Black interior!

I'll go with 3 different countries on this one. For the U.S., I want a 65 Pontiac GTO with the 4 speed w/ Hurst shifter option and original Tri-power. For the UK, I'll go with whatever type of TVR my neighbor has. I see him cruisin in it all the time, it looks really smooth and has the nicest blue paint with silver trim. I like that car. For Japan, it would have to be a 72 Datsun Z. Those things just look mean! They're fast as hell too.

Nice collection !

I would add a Mercedes 300SL ''gullwing'', a Ferrari 250GT berlinetta swb and a Jag XK120 roadster ... and it's my dream garage!

all cars and truck before the goverment decided to control exaust gas toxin are classics but it all boils down to what you like. i used to deal in classic car parts and the term classic is very debaitable
but i like all USA cars

any Chrysler letter series and a Jenson Interceptor

Top 3

71 GTX, 440-6, 4spd, plum crazy, black interior

71 Charger Superbee, 383, auto, red w/black stripes, black interior

Has to be the 1969 Boss 429 Mustang. The rarity alone draws me to it.

Has to be the 1969 Boss 429 Mustang. The rarity alone draws me to it.


I know a guy who has one, actually.

My favorites, wow there are so many but here goes, my favorite w/o a doubt is the 1969 L-88 Corvette. The 69 because unlike the previous models the 69 had the L-88 callout on the hood in addition to the 427 badge. Next is the 1969 COPO Camaro, it has to be Hugger Orange. Last, is the 1965 Shelby GT350, I just love they way they look.

I am also lucky enough to have one in my town('69 Boss 429). He attends all cruises and Mustang shows with his 3 cars.... the '69 Boss 429(Rangoon red w/ Boss stripe package), a '69 Boss 302(acupolco blue w/Boss stripe package), and a '68 Fastback drag car with a few Shelby clone modifications(black). His cars alone would nearly make my dream garage! :eek: I can't imagine what it must be like to own 2 perfectly resored Boss Mustangs...

Gotta be a 1958 Plymouth Fury. God what a beautiful car.

not really popular as a favorite. .
65 impala ss 427.
but i like a lot of the big cars of the 50's and 60's. and not the low riders... the cruisers

OHH MAN my most favorite car would have to be the 1971 plymouth HEMI cuda' i love that car!!! i really like the 69' camero, and the 69' mustang fast back. boy is that boss 429 a monster.

I was under the impression that classic cars were cars that were made prior to 1962 or something like that. but since anything seems to go here, I say one of my favorite classic cars has got to be a 1953 studebaker, now if a later supercharegd 289 STude engine will fit under the hood that would be the shit. I like Muscle cars too but I really like all of them in their own way. I am currently on the lookout for a 1965 riviera, the headlights do it for me. I Own a 68 camaro and a 71 Chevy pickup and i usually lean torwards GM but anything made between 1967 and 1971 is prety cool in my book.

59 Pontiac Bonneville,56 Cadillac, 56 Dodge, 57 Oldsmobile, 59 Ford, 59 Opel, 61 Buick full size, 63 Buick full size, 64 Ford Galaxie, 67 Dodge Monaco, 69 Chrysler Newport, 69 Roadrunner,70 Cadillac, 71 Riviera .

Favorites have to be the original early mustangs... my dad has a fully rebuild (by hand, by himself) 1964.5 mustang convertible (first year they made them, red with a white top/interior)... OOOH, I love that car... there's no other feeling in the world than driving around in it on a summer day...

70 Cadillac,
What model '70 Cadillac? I own a '70 Sedan de Ville. I also own a '69 Fleetwood Brougham (the '69 and '70 Cadillacs are very similar).

What model '70 Cadillac? I own a '70 Sedan de Ville. I also own a '69 Fleetwood Brougham (the '69 and '70 Cadillacs are very similar).
I guess I prefer the 70 because I like those tower fin taillights. The fronts ARE quite similar. Any Deville. 472 V8, talk about a powerful highway cruiser! Horsepower started to go down starting with the 71 and they started to get even bigger, much uglier, and slower.

I have enjoyed many rides in lots of cool cars for years & years...

My ride this past Thurs night in a great American classic was a ride in strong running orig. 283/230 HP 61 fully restored lil Red Corvette Convertible my friend is selling was one of the best in a long long time!

i luv all muscle cars but for a super car id have to go the saleen TT or the konegsegg CCR both are bloody insane (rather supercharger tho :p)

Hands down 1961 Jaguar Mark X - more than a car, a work of art

As I understood it, anything more than 25 years old is an antique. At least, that's the boundaries for putting such plates on cars here. That includes anything that I read about in high school, which means we could discuss Cordobas, T-Birds from the late '70s, or, my favorite from that time, the 2 door Caprice from '77 to '79. After the '74 to '76 models, it was a breath of fresh air.

I have a hard time defining anything as a favorite. I admit to fairly broad tastes, though, when we get to this, that first choice is usually American. I liked GM cars from the 60's but not the GTOs and such. Two of my favorites would be the Impala SS from '67 and '68, and the Corvair Corsa.

Anything over 25 years old here can be licensed as an antique. I've seen antique plates on a '81 Citation. The same would apply to any car I read about in high school.

I'd be hard pressed to reduce it to one favorite, but two that come to mind are the Impala SS of '67 and '68, and the Corvairs of that time, especially the Corsa.

1968 Jaguar XKE V12 Convertible, British racing green with tan leather interior.

My 70 Chevelle... that I just sold.... :(

the first car i really fell in love with was the 70 chevelle. it just looked so bad ass and rugid, with some awesome power. obviously my taste in cars has changed since i was 10 years old lol

My 70 Chevelle... that I just sold.... :(

haha i just noticed your post. awesome car!

1967 Ford Fairlane GT Convertible...Aqua with black top and interior...390 Engine with 3x2bbl carbs and 4 on the floor! and I almost forgot factory air conditioning!

1967 Chevrolet Impala SS 427

Only 2124 SS Impalas were equipped with the 427 in 67

I love the lines of the car, they just do something for me that no other car can...

Anyone can make a Mustang, Camaro, or Vette go fast with little to no trouble.

Make a 4000+ land barge go fast and look good doing it? Now you have my attention! :thumbsup:

Scott

I have several classic cars that I really like.

What about a:

1936 Cord 812 convertable
1957 Ford Fairlane 500
1957 Ford Thunderbird
1973 Lancia Stratos

67 Ford Fairlane 500...

Cutlass SX 455/TH400/3.42 posi/HEI/K@N open element

deuce coupe, 32 3 window ford, no fenders, no hood, small block with 3 stromberg 97's on top, era wheels and tires

not my favorite but its up there, i cant believe no one has mentioned that one

woody's are pretty cool too, especially if the woodwork is well done

I really have no favorite, I like them all, well that is the muscle cars, I could live without some of the others.

I guess as far as a favorite, that would have to be a 1967 L88 Clrvette, or a 1969 ZL1 Camaro, both are very awesome, and it's hard to say.

1960 red and white corvette

That's easy for me. 1970 buick Skylark GSX 455. A true monster and under-appreciated by many. I currently own a '71 Skylark Custom Sport Coupe, but I'm saving my pennies!

Joe and I have quite a few faves....:iceslolan

1949 Merc, slammed with a big phat shiny grille, he he he
1957 Fairlaine (My Dad had one, black and red 2 tone, red interior with a continental kit)
1958 Turnpike Cruiser, convertible
1959 Buick Invicta
1962 Impala 2 door hardtop (owned her for 22 years, she's for sale right now, needs restore...numbers match)
1970 Dodge Charger SE
1971 Lemans
1977 Firebird Esprit
1978 Z28 with a posi rear, 4 on the floor, split sunroof...that was a sweet car!

Mine is a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Looks good, Hemi is a beast, and first stock car to break 200mph on a closed course.
My favorite too buddy.

My 67 Mustang fastback, 289 4v, C4, Lime gold (similiar to the 2005 Legend Lime color). Some day I'll have a '68 Alfa 1750 GTV (pocket rocket). Or a '86 Alfa Callaway GTV6 (with twin turbos) a 'very' rare car!

Mines a Bugatti 57SC Atlante... Beautiful car!!! :grinyes:

There were also 429 Cobra Jet available for the GT 500 in '69:smoker2:

The 67/68 Shelbys never came with a 429. biggest motors they had were the FE 428 CJs.

Some ,in 1967, came with 390s,due to 428 production problems.
so there ya have it...........the 1967 Shelby GT350& the 500.one, a small block, one a big block.:iceslolan

For me the Fords were the best of the best. NOTHING looks as cool as a REAL 1967 Shelby GT500.OR the 1968 1/2 Cobra Jets.like the ones that beat mopar in the '68 Winternationals!

Tell THAT to ANY Shelby fan! they ate ferraris!

Sorry,the first bat mobile was actually a Lincoln show car,modified for the series,in the 1960's.

I love the old 49-51 mercs i also love the same years for the ford

My favorite clasic car its the ald BMW its just so confortable to me that i just love it, and also they look nice when yopu go out on it you can see everybody is watching you, thts so funny.

It has to be the Jensen Interceptor - cool Italian styling, handbuilt in Britain, burbling Chrysler 440.

I like classic Porsches, V8`s in general and Pumas (sports cars made in Brazil).

The LaSalle. Built by Cadillac from 1927 through 1940. Only car ever built in the USA to be discontinued because it was too successful. (It was out selling the Cadillac and it was embarrasing to the Board of Directors). They attempted to revive it in 1963. A beautiful prototype was made with the LaSalle name all over it. At the last minute, they dropped the idea and gave the design to Buick. Hence - the 1963 Rivera. I have two 1939 LaSalles. An Opera Coupe and a 4 Door Touring Sedan. Both cars have the Very Rare dual sidemounts.
