1) '69-'70 Winged Warrior: Super Bird or Daytona Charger, with 426 hemi and 4spd. Dream car. Passed one up w/440 years ago for $14K b/c the interior was ratted out...
2) '68 GTX convertible, 440, 23 spline hemi 4spd, and Dana 60 with factory posi. First car I bought with my own money.
Yes. I am a Mopar Motor Head...
ETA: Fix up / restore to street-able condition. And then drive the wheels off of them. No garage queens on my shift. I know a fellow with a Super Bird and about 10 years ago I offered him 35K. He just smiled and said no. It's been wrecked and nose need serious work, but the rest of the body is in pretty good shape. Interior is trash. 440, but I dont remember if it's stick or auto.

I'd build something like this. While a flathead is "right", I'd likely go Y Block for a little more capability without being way out of place. Being light means you don't need much in the HP department to smile. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/50yxf98n/ar-trog-race-14.jpg)

62 Plymouth Fury with the 413 Max Wedge has long been the one I want.

My drear car project would involve a 1963 Falcon Sprint and a R code 427 with aluminum heads I always thought a '63 Falcon Q ship would be pretty cool - but I'd go small block, and set it up for running the twisties. But for full on project cars - Factory Five 65 Coupe. Again with a small block Ford.

66-ish Bronco would be beyond sweet. But everybody and their dog got that idea about 5 years ago a basket case is worth more than most muscle cars now. Fuggers

If I were, which I'm not, #1 would be an AC Cobra 427" #2 would be '69 Camaro Z28, hell, that could be #1, even.

Got a 66 Mustang 289 3 speed car in the shop waiting on me to start on it. My wife and I went to her senior prom in it in 1985. It was my wife's car all through HS. Her uncle bought it new.

This 52 Ford F1 that was my great grandfathers. Last driven in 66 I’m getting quotes right now to have it shipped up in spring. It will be as much a preservation as a restoration. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/LgyVQld.jpg) I always thought the '51's had a split windshield (2 piece/center divider). Am I wrong?

Strictly a street car, a Mopar E body, and an A body if I'm going to race it.
the one Chevy I would like would be a 67 Chevelle.

I'd love to have a 70 GTO again. If I were to win the lottery, a GT40 or Pantera.

MM MM, I'm with you on the '69 Camaro. SS would be fine. Had a '68 SS 350 back in the day.

I miss my 67 Chevy II Nova. I’d love another one of those if I could find a decent price on one.

'49 Ford.
Couldn't tell you why, but it was the first classic car I took a shine to when I was still in elementary school.
Still like them.
