You guys are bringing up some great cars from the past. I wish they could start making cars like this again. I am tearing up watching this thread. Great thread. Please do a 50's and 60's one. Thanks


:suds::clap:


How about a 1923 T-Bucket with 4 blowers. Tasteful, but not gaudy.

You have some kick ass taste in cars Center Ice. Do you own a muscle car now? Did you have one?

Muscle car?

Nobody said it had to be made in Detroit. 1977 BMW 2002...pound for pound I loved owning this car. Mine was white with blue interior. I miss er.

Well, if we're going with European pocket rockets....

I'd love a 2002. They're going the way of the e30 M3 though, and becoming difficult to find and pretty expensive

69 L-88 Vette. 1/4 mile times in the low 11's right off the showroom floor decked out in bias-ply sneakers.

Wowee!

This was my first muscle car and I still have it. It may not be a 60's vintage but you don't forget your first. I've got a whole pile of Edelbrock boxes in my garage waiting to be opened so I can start some new upgrades. With a 5-speed gearbox and a race suspension, it's fun to drive. It's about to get more fun.

Here's the same car in a 1986 IROC race.

I had to scan it off my rec room wall. Sorry for the quality, it's the only pic I have of when it was racing.

I forgot about custom vans. Nice . My Dad bought one like this and it was cool to rock down the street in one of these. Might of been the coolest car/van my dad ever bought. I was stoked when he bought it. I had some street respect from the kids on the block. Very cool.

The one my Dad had a custom bar and fridge in it. That's right I said bar.Cheers !:suds:

Love the Buick GSX, 1970 Chevelle SS454, Plymouth GTX, Challenger/Cuda, etc.

But my favorite all-time if I had to choose one is a 1970-2 Olds 4-4-2. I love rally wheels and Viking Blue.
Man, That viking blue color is sweet on this ride. Nice.

This is one of my favorites too!

Yes, I know it's a 69, but it's got a 426c.i. Hemi so I gave it a pass. :nod:


Another beast I want with me in a alley fight. I am starting to cry. Bring back our muscle cars ! Fuck I want to go cruising right now.

yup, very functional, and nice clean engines that are easy to work on too. don't see them around much anymore, at least not in good shape. be nice to see chevy bring back some kind of a retro van.
