Dream car

[oldsoul]

If you had the money, what classic car, with or without, mods would you have?

Me, Early '70's Caddie El Dorado. I would equip it with:

• Latest LS engine
• Ford 9" rear-end, chopped to accomodate,
• 305mm or larger tires, super sticky
• Trac-bars
• original body, and wheels
• Likely would paint it pink, just for fun
• Maybe even a supercharger or N.O.S.

I think it would be pretty cool to blow the doors off of one of those rice-burning "tuner" cars.
What would you have?

I've always had a thing for Porsce 911s. All years, all models.

I have a few. This is one:

don't know much about details but a nice straight 65 Ford Galaxy 500 2 door , British racing green , metallic with nice unpolished aluminum wheels , nice black rubber as big as practical . Big v8 , auto transmission with leather , sort of beige color . --------- remembering my parent 65 Ford car of similar configuration . I loved their 4 door , always wanted it to be a 2 door !!

I have a few. This is one:

That's a sweet looking SS. Any mods? Besides the obvious- Tires, wheels, paint.

Just two:

1964 Toyota FJ40 (Land Cruiser) with rear scissor door and...

1964 Toyota FJ45, I'd prefer the long bed...

 

[Sunni Man]

1972 Buick Riviera Boattail .......owned one in the 80's......wish I still had it. ......

 

[Alystyr]

Top three, in no real order:
'59 Thunderbird hardtop (but in black)

'66 Olds Toronado

or a '63 Stingray

No mods, just factory stock in near-showroom condition.
They'd be driven as much as weather would permit, too - they aren't much good sitting in a garage collecting dust.

My all time favorite........1957 Chevy Nomad.......had several chances back in the day to buy one.....but fooled around and never did.

Now they sell for more than a house. .......

 

[Sunni Man]

My daily driver back in the early 70's looked exactly like this one.

1967 Stingray

 

[Wyld Kard]

1979 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird

1979 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird

Sportin' the 'stache too, Bandit?

 

[Boss]

My "money is no object" pick would have to be this beauty...

Bugatti Veyron Successor

My "made in America" classic would be...

1961 Studebaker Hawk

OR... one of these:

1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

Actually had one...1979 F-350 4x4 SuperCab. With a front Dana 60 and rear Dana 70, it had the toughest mechanicals Ford offered without dual rear wheels, since it was a Camper Special (heavier rear springs and swaybar). Originally, it had a 400M engine...but the guy I bought it from repowered it with a 5.9 litre Cummins diesel from a Stepvan. He used the factory Borg-Warner T-19 HD 4-speed manual transmission and NP205 transfer case, with an overdrive added to the transfer case. The engine conversion looked factory, to the extent of having dual batteries I would have sworn were installed in Dearborn, working air conditioning (using a compressor from a Cummins-powered F600), and functioning (factory) cruise control. Being an XLT Ranger, the truck was pretty loaded: front captain's chairs and console, tilt column, Quadraphonic stereo, carpet, A/C, cruise control, power steering & brakes, even map lights. Much as I loved the truck, it was too nice to be a work truck, and WAY too nice to plow with. (Being an extended cab-longbed, it was also extremely long, which made plowing parking lots quite difficult and very hard on the equipment.)
