Title: What "new" muscle car would you like to see?
Post by: DiabloTX on January 12, 2005, 11:24:38 AM

Reading Sandy's thread got me thinking.  What old muscle car would you like to see built looking very closely to the originial but with modern drivetrain, interior, etc...

My pick is the '69 Camaro.

Second would be the '69 GTO.

What say you?

I'm biased but I'd love to see a remake of the classic Cougar.  They need to make up for the chiclet car they tried a couple of years ago.  The classic Cougar had some really neat styling trademarks that no other car had.  I'd love to see a designer's take on that form.

I think any company would be successful with a styling copy of any of their '68 or '69 pony cars... Mustang, Camaro, Firebird, 'Cuda, Challenger. There'd be a market for any of those amongst those of us who lusted after the high performance ones but couldn't afford them back then.

Same for the mid-size; Chevelles, GTO's, Chargers, Roadrunners, GS, 442.

I believe the opportunity is there and going that "retro" would be a daring move that would draw sales in and of itself amongs folks that weren't even alive back then.

But for me it'd have to be a 68 Z-28.

My favorite has allways been the Chevelle SS convertable. I am not sure the year but my best friends big brother had one when I was young and impressionable and it has always been a favorite of mine. 68 I think

Pongo,
 Thats a 67 I think. The 68 was a major body style change from that.

Yup. 67. 68 looked more like a 69 except there were flags behind the chevy logo on the grill and the tail lights were rectangular instead of the 69 "triangle" look.

My favorite was the 70.

Yup 68-69 Camaro...but not convertible, since convertables are for sissies like Lazs.

65 AC Cobra
56 Corvette
66 GTO
69 Cuda
68 Charger
I would say the 57 Tbird, but Ford blew that one.

The cars should not only true to the style, but true to the purpose as well.

Post by: Heretik on January 12, 2005, 02:07:52 PM

wow... there are so many I'd like to see.
67 GTO
69 Charger
67 Chevelle (The staggered super-sport emblem on the rear quarter tags Pongos pic as a 67)
70 Buick GSX
70 Roadrunner
62 Ferrari GTO

seems like there would be really good money in reproducing classics. I wonder why nobody does it?

Post by: lazs2 on January 12, 2005, 02:39:34 PM

they make all steel 69 camaro bodies right now and every single repo part you need to finish one.

I like 68-69 SS big block El Camino's

All you who like 69 chargers really meant to say 68 rt chargers tho right?

A lot of the mopars will be very easy to reproduce now that chrysler is bringing out 426 hemi crate engines along with their "modern" hemi.

That is an artistic rendering Diablo.  I doubt GM would ever build it.

Even if they did, there is no way they would make 2007.  If they had prototypes or show cars,..then maybe 2007, but not from a drawing today will they make it in 2007.
As I understand it, GM takes 3 years to produce what they have finalized on paper.

Wow, that's cool Diablo. That blue SS looks really nice. If those are the new Camaros, they are the first camaro since the 1970 body type that doesn't look like a joke.

ahh. The 67 Fastback, even though I prefer the 68, it appears to be "Highland Green".  That is my ALL-TIME fav. color.

RE-build the GT500KR.

That Vette is garbage without the original wheels, etc.  I despise people who "chop" classic cars.  Keep the watermelon the way it was supposed to be.  Hell, that dolt might as well have put 22" wheels on it.

Looks like a '66 or '67. I almost bought a black one about 17 years ago.  License plate would have said "BDMTRFKR"..hehehehe.
