Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Let's see your Bucket List Cars and Trucks!

A 427 Cobra has always called to me but a couple odd ones that I like are
'67 AMX
'65 Ford Ranchero 289
Pantera
Triumph TR3

Must have been an automatic car. A 4 speed would have mandated a Dana 60 and 3:54 or 4:10 gears

Sounds like a Hemi Cuda from Sacramento, about 20 years ago I saw his car for sale at a show, had almost 200k on it. Daily commute car at one time.

I’ve always been a sucker for Panteras.
I remember seeing quite a few for pretty short money back in the early 90’s. They’ve certainly gone up in price since.

Love old corvettes. Especially late C1 cars, 61 and 62.

The 300slr gull wing has been a favorite since I was a kid.

Ariel Atom. A grown up go kart.

I bought this about 10 years ago. '68 Chevelle SS. It was already "restored" by someone else. I had to sink as much money into it than the car cost me in the first place but I knew what I was getting into. I probably have more money in it than it's worth, but I'll never sell it so it doesn't matter. Now everything works and it has a lot of new parts on it. I drove it to work today.

I always thought I should have a Unimog...but they run right at 230,000 bucks now.

I love the old VW van. This is the 1971 model. I used to have one of these and had some pretty good adventures in it. I would love to get another one, but the prices have gone through the roof in the past 5 years. If you can find one all original in good shape it would cost $50 grand. You will see ads for a rusted out junk heaps with no engine, sitting out in a corn field in Kansas, going for $6 grand. Unreal.

i grew up with the classic muscle cars all rusting away in front of my eyes. fast, junky old rattle traps with a lot of style but most were really not good cars. my 71 camaro was nice to look at but had a lot of problems. if i had to pick a bucket list car now it would be a late model camaro ZL1. but alas, ZL1 tastes on a subaru budget.

OP

I had an 86. It had the 22RE. It was still gutless, but decent for putting around the hills.

To go along with my other old car bucket list posts.

This was my first old truck I bought it for $500, it had a 4 speed with a 283 v8. One of the vehicles I wish I had kept.
Pictures were taken 1975/1976.


This ones my dog Heidi


This pic is with my pop.

I would love to have a Mercedes McClaren or a BMW Z8.. great cars, very fast, and handle like on rails.... but way out of my pay range...

There is a blue one in a barn here in my little home town of 150 people. Guy has had it for years and years. It’s nice too
Havnt seen him out driving it since the mid 90s
He has a hemi car also no one has seen
There are gems setting in small towns all over the country

For me
67 GTO
68 international pickup 4x4

Thanks OEH.

It was an automatic. In fact, three weeks after I ordered it the salesman called me and said they won't put a .273 rear end in it. I told him it was on the order sheet so make it or cancel the order. They made it. It took longer.

I forget the model of transmission, but it was designed for the Hemi. Higher stall speed and tough. At stall it multiplied the torque as explained to me. The four speed available was bullet proof but slow to shift compared to the M22 rock crusher of GM's. Drove a 440 with one. I didn't like it. Many good engines were tore up with that transmission. People trying to speed shift and missing the gear.

FC Jeeps are wicked cool!

67 GTO is high on my list

67-68 K10 Fleetside shorty or 72 K5 Blazer would be nice as well for a little run about on the weekends.

I have never seen one of those Jeep’s per up above. Kinda cool in an ugly way. Edk

I always liked the 1987 Buick Grand National GNX. These were modified by McLaren for Buick and were wicked fast.

I have a Jeep FC150, it was green, white and full of rust in 1977 so I built this in highschool shop class. Has the factory heavy duty Dana 44 running gear, 4 speed and 5.38 gears.
