Classics are cool . . .

Can't really say I love any of them . . . but they sure are purty . . .

'69 Camaro Super Sport!

1969 Dodge Daytona Charger
1969 Pontiac GTO
1969 442 W30
and last but not least
1951 Mercury customized to the T!

hell yea, they are cool. I love the classics, I wish they still made cars like those.

hmm.. some,, but why do people always say how modern cars are all wedges and they hate them? like the still are living the 50s. The Acura RSX is light, fast, but still cheap. people complain that there are no cars like that. They say how nice old interiors are and nice chrome.. look at the RSX!!!!! Type-S is only 24500!!!


old cars all look the same ;)



RSX concept

I don't have a problem with new cars. But still man. A lot of the old cars were pretty quick. My car, which would be like a accord back then is pretty quick. Plus I liek the shape more, and some of the interiors are better.

I just like old cars more

1970 Dodge Challenger 340 Six Pack or with 440 :D :D

Her is the list of claasic cars I like:
1969 Chevolet Corvette(every f#*^ing model)
1969 Chervolet Camaro(every model)
1969 VW Beetle(every mother f#*^ng model)

:bloated: :bandit: :devil: :grey: :licker: :silly2: :smoker: :sun: :flash: :rolleyes: ;) :(

I own a '68 Goat, and I must say, its just feels great to sit in it and let it idle and to hear that pure detriot grumble.... ahhhh....
And no, they dont make them like they use too, but the new ones are just as great.


This is not mine, but in case someone was wondering what a '68 goat looked liked.

http://ultimategto.com/1968/68h_00007_1.jpg

cool, is your red like that? does it have the 455 in it?

No mine is Burgandy, and the 455 was not available until 1970 , I have a 400 with some upgrades :)

cool, I'm getting a Chrysler Big Block 400 for my car.

ahhh, that will be very nice. I still have some upgrades to go with mine, I saving up for some new heads :)

Nice Goat. I bet they look even better in Burgandy.

cool what brand>? Brodix makes nices heads.

Are you going to do more like cam/intake/carb etc ??

I havnt really looked into which brand of Heads i wil be getting, i do like Brodix though.

I already have a ISKY cam and a Edlebrock 750 carb and headers, edlebrock manifold. I have Crane roller lifters, Crane rollor rocker arms and pushrods. Later on ill get into changing the pistons and crank, I also got some flows on it, she puurrs just as a kitten should :)

some of those old cars.. they're just.. yuck.


it ain't no BMW that's for sure

And a bmw isnt a muscle car :rolleyes:

are we talking about muscle cars now?

ooh. weeelll.. it ain't no RSX... or uh.. Celica... or .... close enough to muscle cars i guess. Alot better looking than all i can think of right now.

we are talking about classic automobiles. Any company can make them , so long as it's old.

Im sorry, i dont really understand this post, are you implieing that a RSX, Celica are Muscle Cars? or am i not reading it correctly...

no.. i was saying that i liked them better than them. certain older cars are awesome. it just seems that people always 'hate' the newer cars for their wedges, but all the older cars are just boxes. except for the c3 vette. now THAT is a classic i would actually get.

Just boxes? Car design used to be much more adventurous and varied than it is now.

that's just imo

OK, your entitled to your opinion, but according to your opinion, your in the wrong froum.

i thought it was ok. but end of that discussion

You can say what you want, but the topic of this forum is Classic cars, and a RSX isn't a calssic car, Celicas have been around for a while, BMW's have been around for a while also. but try not to focus on the new one to much, unless your comparing current models to the older models, eg. Old vette-New Vette. Not knockin' your style or anything, but just try to keep it on topic.

why bother with a 400??

you might want to look into some of the mopar crate engines they offer every thing form 360hp 360s to hemis to compleate viper engines. they also have some nice 383s and 440s with booko touqe and hp

Yea, But I'm 16 years old with the kind of cash needed for a crate motor. I'm getting the 400 and tranny for $200 or so from a guy I know, it was running when it pulled out a couple months ago, but I'm gunna rebuild it anyways.

Thanks for the Input though.

My favs have been and always will be:
'72 Challenger
'70 Cuda
'71 Charger
'67 Cougar XR-7
'69 Camaro Z28
'67 Corvette Stingray (I will own this car)

love pretty much all of the 60s/70s muscle cars, particually the Mustangs:smoka:

Most of the classics are cool. her is a few they i choose. I aslo drive a 1970 cougar XR7, but her is a few of what i like:

1969-1970 Boss 429 and 302
1969 corvette stingray (i want to put a blower on it)
1969 camero would be neat w/blower also
1977 f-150 highboy
These are just a few of my choices

I alwasy say you can never have enough power.:) :)

alright, sorry if i was off topic... i was trying to contrast older designs vs. newer designs.



some older cars i like

-C1 vette

-C3 Corvette!!!!!

-older tbirds (don't know year or gen)

-That million-dollar gullwing mercedes-benz

-AC (Shelby, Ford) Cobra

Give me back my 1970 AMC AMX...

But I did like my 1970 Dodge Cuda.

http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/boot/66/17465720.jpg

my fav classic/muscle car would definitely have to be 68 Shelby GT500KR Mustang/Cobra...also own a 70 Mach I w/ a 351C...been totally rebuilt and restored, had the engine balanced and blueprinted...its fun to drive on thoes "perfect" days

Tanjwarrior it called Plymouth 'Cuda
That's a AAR 'Cuda in the pic.


Yea muscle cars are way fun to drive. I really can't wait until I finish my car. Cuda (http://www.hardcoremopar.com/gallery/pixdetailrate.asp?pixID=488 )

Im not really a Mopar fan, but I have to admit that id kill for a

1. 69' or 70' Superbee
2. 70' SuperBird.

The SuperBird is definitly one of my favourites of all time

Judge for yourselves:

Funny, my fav muscle car was the 69-74 Dodge Dart. Im personnaly getting, and hopefully am, on my 18th bday (3/31) getting a Dart with a 400 (or larger) Hemi in it. Man o mighty, I already have a list of things Im gonna do to it. Hehehe, can we say skull shifter (I prefer stick over automatic), skull door locks and skull valve caps. And to top off the basic stuff Im doing to it, Hoosier drag rims (cheap and the orignals), and BF Goodrich drag tires (not slicks).
