If you could have one car back, which one would it be ?

[Oldman731]

I dug around and found the only photo of one of my vehicles. The 56 F100. My first attempt at a full restoration. Had 4 weeks vacation and broke it down to a frame on wheels. Wire wheeled the frame and painted. Rebuilt the front end with steering box. My first time doing body work and paint. Lol it took months. Had the 312 rebuilt..Came with three on the tree. Traded it for the bone stock 43 jeep. Even still had blackout lights.

Wow.  I think I built that as an AMT model, back in...well...back in the days when I was younger.  Good job!

I used to own one of these. It was a lot of fun to drive.  350hp and had a tac on the hood.

Brand new 70 Boss 302 out the door for less than $4000 had wide ratio trans with 350 posi. Third gear came alive at 80. Would come along side Super Bee's and Road Runners get them up to 80 and just beat them easy.  Dragged a Super Bee and beat him easy thou his moter was making bad noises. It came out 3rd around 120 mph  after that I never looked at the Speedo once I hit 4th.It reved like a Kawasaki 500.Sold it for $1800 with a fresh moter!

My car charges faster then yours and can go from 0-60 .25 mph faster then yours per manufacturer specs, but I dare not try it cause it accelerates too fast and scares me

I have two that I wouldn't mind having back.

1968 El Camino and a 1972 RS Camaro

Convert them to running on alcohol and learn to distill.

I would enjoy hearing Icepac's 427 Caprice start up, idle, and rev up a few times, just for old time's sake.  I hope that car is in the hands of someone now who properly cares for and maintains it.   That is a '69 if not mistaken.   Friend from high school's dad had a Caprice wagon with the same engine, he pulled a fifth wheel with it.

Very interesting to see the Chevy Citation on someones list.  Haven't seen on of those in ages; wondered what became of them.   GM's first vehicle with front wheel drive and transverse mounted engine, I think?

For me, it's the 2002 Dodge Viper. They have always been my favorite car. Pure original American power and ingenuity, love those curves.

I had a 66 Bug that I almost killed myself in a hundred different times. I wouldn't mind getting another one and and doing it up Cali style...

[Eagler]

69 bug was very educational.. from carb to brakes to undercoating..but fun to drive

The wipers would stick so I had to put a cd case bit in the windshield molding so that they wouldn't go to far a get stuck..otherwise I had to flick them with my left hand to keep them going in the rain

Had to rolling start it more than once
