Classic car gals and guys.. What are your favorites

Do any of you including the OP even know where the the Mustang came from?

There's a history, pay attention

Well crap.. You challenged me.. Please elaborate.

The Mustang car was birthed from the P-51 Mustang from WW2

The plane that won the war

Howard Hughes and Henry Ford were close freinds and came up

with the idea

You will never hear this mentioned anywhere

We have a history

One glance

I would love a p-51 mustang and they cost 2 million dollars. Which I could never spend that kind of money on one.

ALL GREAT CARS!!!

Still have my 1970 442 convertible, red with a white top. My son has a 1955 Bel Air with the 265 power pack that needs finished, I bought the 55 in 1981 for $1800 from a guy I worked with. Oh, the Chevy is a ragtop too.

I have a 1972 Super Beetle.

I have a 1966 Plymouth Satellite. Has a 440 with 10.1 compression . Makes about 450 hp

1930s Peugeot 402.
My absolute favorite. Don't own one, they are getting rare but are still available now and then for reasonable prices.
Only not reasonable for me.

69 Camaro SS/RS

Any Camaro from 67 to 81

New ones are cool too!

Jeep Grand Wagoneer :)

Anything during and after the 70's gas war.

Yeah...Now Ford is talking about making the next gen of Mustangs front wheel drive. What a way to kill a great car by turning it into a Probe.

Slap in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, bitches!

1972 for me, some say a year earlier.

Funny you ask, well when I was growing up my next door neighbor was an old man who had one completely all original. He lived alone and I used to go over to his house on some weekends and help him detail his car. He'd drive me around the block a few times and he even let me take her for a spin once. I used to love hearing that sweet baby start up and man was she gorgeous. Anyways several years later that old man died of a heart attack, and I guess I made such an impact on him while I was growing up he left me a bunch of stuff in his will. Even said if his brother didn't come and get it that it was mine. Well of course his brother came for it, and I was a couple of years off from driving anyways so it wasn't a big deal to me. He sure was a nice old man though, would tell me stories of how things were in the 40s and 50s. We used to fly rc helicopters in the street, he taught me how to use ham radios, I even got my ham cert not too many years after he passed. I'll never forget that car, and I'll never forget him. Sometimes you don't know the impact someone will have on your life even if they aren't a major part of it.

Ahh memories.

55 Chevy Nomad!

I'm a car guy. From before I could drive, I was working on them. I still remember my first, a 67 Camaro. I remember the vibration, the smell, the noise, when she first cranked up after the engine was put in and me and my best friend from down the street drove around the neighborhood with open headers. I've been hooked ever since.

Here's what I have now:
a 69 Camaro SS with the old solid lifter LT1 engine and close ratio M-22 tranny. Has the big block hood. 4:11 rear gears...it is not a highway cruiser, but will smoke the rear tires right off! Not a terribly quick quarter mile car, but great for weekend stoplight races!

A 70 Camaro. Resto mod. In progress.

A 69 Corvette 427/435. w/ auto and A/C. A rare find! It's the wrong color, though. White. All stock survivor. Needs a little work with all the suspension rubber.

BUT, and I've recently switched gears. (pun intended!)

Several years ago I acquired my first Porsche 911. (996, C4S) and am hooked! Have a 997 turbo and a track car. I am really looking for a nice old 956 Speedster I can hop up.

Also have a '02 Viper, (modern Muscle car!) set up for the Texas Mile. Going for 200 mph next time. I think I'll get 225 if the wind is right.

Also, of mention in the vintage era, is the '65 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. It's a user rock crawler. Beat up a bit, but tough as they get. Very modified.

Love car threads!

I love older cars. I don't make a lot but I found a 1974 dodge dart sport (demon) with a 1969 cast date 340 for $2000. No rust but I did have to take out all the inside and install bucket seat / back seat. Reran all the electrical wiring. All new suspension, braking, cooling, and starter/ ignition / coil etc in the car. I then got the front in from a 1971 dodge demon (better nose) and install it. Took about 1 1/2 years and a lot of watching U-Tube videos to learn how.

Been at my brothers friends for the last few months (painting everything and rebuilding transmission). Cant wait to get it back because the weather is great atm.

I have about 6 to 7 in the car. But it has been a dream to have a muscle car. (some people might no call it one but I like it) I work hard and really wanting to play hard now. Can't believe the wife really let me get and do it lol.

70 AMC Javelin Donahue model



And of course a P-51D :)

1971 Camero Z28 avocado green with black stripes.

I almost forgot about Lancia, but the Scorpion was my favourite and almost purchased one while in my senior year in college. A very cool and low numbers produced Bertone car. The guy has great taste. I drove an X 1/9 during school. I own a 308GT4 for the past 25 years, 2nd owner. I am a Bertone nut.

No pics. Was my first ride , loved it.

This is a pic of one of the same color I had , the greenish gold. Was a Georgia car always covered. Blew the motor and sold it , took a vacation in Florida lol.

1969 Dodge Superbee
I remember my dad street racing this car in the 70's and he did not lose ver often

I used to own a 1969 442, blue, mag wheels, 350 "rocket" engine. It actually said that under the hood. Speedometer went to 165 mph. "Buried the needle" many times on the GSP in the middle of the night. Ah youth. I LOVED that car. The tranny went, and that was it. Ah youth.

LOL !!!
My daily drive is my 1983 Buick Electra Park Avenue, my trusty rusty !!!

My first car was a 1964 Chevy Impala 4 door, bright canary yellow, and black leather/cloth interior. 283 8 cylinder. :)
