My buddy that's helping me with my car sold his to some guy in California. He got it from a guy we both went to high school with. It was sitting in an airplane hanger near Travers City Michigan for over 30 years. The unfortunate part was that someone had yanked the original motor so just to get it going he dropped in a 383 stroker, drove it for a couple years and sold it last summer.
If they were as reliable as a Honda like the criteria I'm sure they'd be quite a step up for some guys
I always wanted a 69 Camaro resto mod. Think if Chevy never stopped building them. Oversise glass. Make it look like the factory built it today using GM parts. LS powered, 6 speed. Nothing crazy. Under the hood would look like any other new GM car. Factory 2020 colors. Totally reliable like a brand new car and use it all year long as a daily driver.
I’d drive the rear tires off my pick every 2 months. I did it w the muscle cars I owned and even the ones now as they have all been daily drivers at least 1 point in their life.
Other car I would drive is a 69 Vette 427 L89. M22 and 4.10 gears. Power windows soft/hard top. Side pipes. Good daily driver.
The only time it is okay to spell Gran Sport with a “D”. Always liked these because they were different & fast.
Mine would be a 1936-8 Mercedes-Benz 540K, I've always had a soft-spot for these old Nazi wagons, they were exceptional cars in their day.
Oh heck, I CANNOT believe I forgot: -- An amphicar, seeing howas I design boats for a living. -- The Y-Job. That being said, if I could only drive one car for the rest of my life, it would be my 69 ragtop. I'd kick my GN to the curb -- top gotta drop.
The Lamborghini Miura has always been my dream car. I first saw one on the cover of R&T (I believe that was the magazine) back around 1970 and it immediately became my dream car and the passage of time has never changed it. Update! I knew I still had that magazine! Older than I thought, 1966...
My dream muscle car as a kid was a Judge. Will have one one day. But RAIV was 3.90 or 4.33 only. Sure that's what your PHS says? BTW, if you post it, I can pass it along to the guy who runs the Judge Registry.
I too prefer the R/T over the Super Bee. My favorite is the '69 but the '70 is so so close. There was 1 US-spec unit built, which is MIA. The Canadian one is the brown one, and there's at least one export unit in Sublime, so that makes at least 3.
I know the owner of both of the "real" Bentley Blue Trains. The one in the photo appears to be a replica of the one that was believed to be the real one but isn't the real one (although it is popularly known as the Blue Train Coupe), that is a Gurney Nutting coupé-bodied Speed Six that was believed to be the Blue Train, but turned out not to be. Both are stunning cars in person. https://pebblebeachconcours.net/cars/the-blue-train-bentley-a-mystery-solved/
This will sound weird, but, I would love to have a 1978 Subaru BRAT. I used to own a 1978 Subaru wagon, first car I ever paid for with money I earned. It was a little 4x4 that was really fun to drive. Top speed was around 100 KPH (63 MPH), but it felt a lot faster. The little boxer engine with the spare tire on top was little underpowered, but the 4x4 worked great. It went places in Northern BC that other cars and trucks had never gone before. If I could find a BRAT in mint condition it would bring back so many great memories.
