Actually, quite a lot came over here. First the 1200, then the 1600, then the 1500, and in the middle somewhere the Niva. Then the Samara, which was a surprizingly good car for the money.
I had 1 x 1600, then one 1500, then a 1600 station.
I drove them to pieces, and surely they had their vices. But on bad gravel roads, they were a marvel, you just had to get used to the suspension.
In those days (1990) I often visited a friend (read girlfriend) in the farmlands. It was mostly a bad and curvy gravel road with some parts sand rather than gravel. Distance was 16 km, average travel time 8 minutes.....
I managed to torture the 1600 to 170 km/h, and my speed record on gravel was like 155.
I am all into Subaru's now, and they are good. But I do notthink I will ever be able to top my rally driving in a Lada 1600

Thinkin back of all the cars ..owned and dreamed of owning ..

..my favorite car from all of them is the one I drive now.
It just plain *rocks* . . scratches all the itches in the right places.


Just a damn-fine-auto-mobile from any angle.
And lookin is just the tip of the iceberg, drivin it ...it trumps all that I have owned by orders of magnitude.

I am really lookin forward to what I can do with it over the next 5 years or so

Favorite all time?  Auburn boat tailed Speedster.  Most gorgeous car ever produced.

Came with Dash Placks that stated they were tested and did 100 mph way back when

I am very jealous of you, the one car I forgot to mention was the Stingray, the first car I ever thought was sexy.

Thanks for the compliment .  It's a funny thing between the two sisters, they draw completely different crowds in the same magnitudes.  I had them both parked together at a car show this weekend, some would walk right past the other to look at one and ignore the other and vice versa.  The real nuts and bolts gear heads and the younger crowd tend to hang around the FRC, with it's supercharger, alcohol injection, airbrushed hood and engine compartment, etc. etc.  The ones that appreciate the classics and nastalgia and the older crowd, gravitate to the 69.  That's why I love having both.  By the way somebody brought up a 458 Italia Ferrari up there, I likey a lot

Most of my favorites have already been posted.  So, I'll post one that never made it. So sad.

Nice rides Big Rat

I've driven a coupla big block C3 roadsters ..once when they were bran-new
'68 roadster w/tri power 427 4-gear had no traction in any forward gear with those bias ply G-60's ..awesome fun to drive
Salesman was a bit pale when we returned
..second was one I helped build and tune for a customer, '69 coupe 1050 dominator fed 427 with a good hydrastic cam and bits, automatic
..120mph cruiser on the hiway, front end started getting a bit light at 150, tire tech had finally caught up a bit ..it hooked fairly well. (early '90's)

The C5 I have now just does soo much better in every area.

In the late 70s, we usually replaced the F70s on the 1968 to 1972 cars with H70s using the later 8 inch rally wheels.

We used L-60s but had to slightly relocate the E-brake cabling and trim some bodywork slightly......I think on the inside of the fenders.

L-60s easily fit on the 1973 and later cars.

I replaced the p90 option G60-15 red stripes on my 1969 427 caprice with L60s on the 8 inch rally wheels and the flared fenders of the caprice easily contained them.
