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.

'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.

I like MG's mainly cause I used to have one ... definitley best kept as a show car or weekend pleasure car ... not practical as a daily driver ... heres some pics for you guys.

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

Mr. Chevelle
08-27-2003, 11:49 PM
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.

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.

Come on....this is easy====> 1968 Corvette Stingray L88. All aluminum engine, 427 ci, est.HP 465.....and everybody knows it put out WAY more than 465 HP.(gov't standards---more like 550 HP). Take that Mr. Dodge Viper with your 50 HP/cylinder.

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...

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

IS THAT A HEMI???
03-12-2005, 06:44 PM
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.

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...

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.

MaxLegroom

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.
