"Preserving the Constitution, fighting off the nibblers and chippers, even nibblers and chippers with good intentions, was once regarded by conservatives as the first duty of the citizen. It still is." � Wesley Pruden
Some great choices, but I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned my favorite.........66 and 67 Nova SS with the 350 horse 327 and a muncie 4 speed. My daily driver now is a fully restored '63 Nova Wagon with a transplanted 250 C.I. Inline under the hood, and a Powerglide trans. Blood red body with an off-white top.
While the old muscle cars were cool,for as much power as they made,they really weren't all that fast.
A late model V6 Toyota Camry or Honda Accord will be neck and neck with any of the old muscle in the 1/4 mile.
Yea, but the old irons are more funner. Crappy tires, brakes, steering, carburetors. No computers and a gaggle of hoses. A thumping Big Block or a screaming small block. Sitting at a light with the car shaking from the bumpy cam. Good Times!
The 66 and 67 Chevy IIs with the L-79 option. 327-350HP motor and 4 speed trans. Novas didn't appear til 68. I sold my L-79 several yrs ago. Went really fast, didn't stop very well and would not corner at all.

What no 69 AMX? It could run with the best of them

Kamo said 70 Torino GT, that's funny cause that was my first car. I sure miss it.
If I built one today I'd go with a stroked sbf, possibly as much as 460 cubes. A late model 5 or 6 spd trans, 4 link/coil over 9" rear. Upgraded front suspension, low stance, 17" wheels, big disk brakes front and back....

Paint it black.
One of my high school buddies bought a 1970 Ford Torino 429 SCJ (Super Cobra Jet), 4.11 gears, shaker hood scoop, factory double pumper Holley 4 Barrel, for $1400.00 and never realized WTF he had.
He drove for for a month thinking it was only a 3 speed. He never found 1st.
I tried to tell him how special what he had was ... but he never listened.
Oh it ain't that bad. I tell ya what, I sure like it at cruise speeds.
Buddy of mine tried to slingshot me on a cruise run last summer with a blown sbc 4.11's in a short box C-10. I saw him comin hard in my rear view mirror. I hammered it and sure enough he ran out of gears and RPMs and I left him back there, in the passing lane.... Fading further and further behind me until he was just all by himself in the wrong lane, all strung out and maxed out at not much more than 100 mph. Lol!
And it ain't terrible off the line, not embarrassingly so anyways.
