What is your "Dream Classic Muscle Car"?
 

What is your "Dream Classic Muscle Car"?

I have a list a mile long, but that is because I'm in the business I guess.

AAR Cuda in lime light I believe it's called or plum crazy.

You?

Of the Mopars I like the Cuda/Challenger cars, but the Hemi powered B Bodies are what gets my attention. The Chargers, Road Runners, Daytona and Super Bird get my attention. As a matter of fact, we are restoring a 1969 Road Runner right now that is going to be Limelite.

GM I am a fan of the 1970 Chevelle, but I am a little bias. That was my first car.

Ford, I have a 1966 Mustang that I am customizing right now. My Mom bought it when I was 6 years old.

you must names and shame your list dude...and pics go a looooooong way
'69 pretty much anything, but i love the stang....and would a '63 split screen vette count?

'63 split window OF COURSE counts. Anyone who disagree's can **** themselves in the ass with a cactus.

I've got a '78 vette, L82, 4 speed long throw shifter, t-tops, and 26k original miles from my father that first got me interested in muscle cars.

If I were to buy one myself, it would have to be;

1. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28--yellow with black stripes
2. 1970 Dodge Challenger

This is the 1969 Road Runner 383/4 Speed that we are working on. It has a long way to go and a short time to get there.

'69 Trans Am, 4-speed. And if I'm dreaming make it one of the 4 convertibles.

C2 split window would be nice but I'll take any C2...would even consider the vert..

'63 Split Window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No interest but a Buick GNX. None.

'69 Coronet.

69 SS

That would be much easier to clone that to find one even for sale, much less at a reasonable price. To me a clone would be much more fun to drive.

Those are not too terribly hard to come by and can be restored or customized without too much trouble.

There are a hand full on the market, but not many. They can be restored fairly easily because it shares the F body platform.

We are building a Road Runner right now and recently did a 69 Sport Satellite convertible for the same customer. The Coronet is not that hard to find and plenty parts are available to restore or modify/customize one the way you want.

There are a few originals out there, but not many. A clone is fairly easy and not as nerve wracking to drive.

How many do you want? Those are easy to find and just as easy to restore/customize with a plethora of parts available. That is depending on what you want. SS 350/auto is easy SS 396/4 speed, not so much and the unicorn COPO cars with the 427 and even the ZL1, well those are a little harder to come by.

I thought this was a thread about dream car :( not which car would you dream of but is impossible to get or cost an arm and a leg

On a car like that, you can get a good starter project for less than $8000 and finished car for around $30,000. That is not arm and leg territory, just a couple of fingers and toes.

Umm... What??

The GNX used the same G-Body platform as the other Grand Nationals, warmed over significantly by ASC.

Also a 1967 GT500 vote. A 1967 fastback is one of the best body styles cars ever.

Sorry, brain fart. Not sure where I pulled the F from. Yes the GNX was the G-body and shares the platform with the Grand National, Regal, Monte Carlo, ElCamino, and Grand Prix.

Personally, I would do just about anything to get my hands on a 1968 GT390 Fastback in Dark Highland Green.

three are on my list for sure! a 69 charger, a 68 Cuda and a 63/64 continental convertible in black with red interior!!

I have a customer that we will be restoring his 69 Charger as soon as we finish his 69 Roadrunner.

My personal favorites would be hard to qualify. I've dealt mostly with Fords for the last 20 years so they are comfortable to go to. I almost picked up a complete 64 Fairlane from a buddy last year....My First personal project I had out of tech school that got sold was a 64 Fairlane so I've got a soft spot for them. I have a 65 and 67 Mustang Fastback basket cases that I will get to someday. I love GTX's, Road Runners, and Cudas for their lines. If I built a Chevy it would be a 64-66 NovaII. All of the above would be built Pro-touring so the hardware they come with doesn't really matter.

Awesome that you are rebuilding a car that has been in the family that long. To me this business is less about the cars and more about the people and stories behind them.

Here you go Jireh! A 70 Chevelle for you we just finished this year. Came to us as a "$200k custom build" bought by a client in south Florida. The car was so mechanically hacked we essentially stripped it down to a shell (paint was flawless) and re-built it into a legit Pro-Touring custom. Now has a 463ci BBC with a custom built pulley system, air to water intercooler for the V7 head unit and a FAST XFI fuel injection system. It puts down an easily repeatable 820rwhp. Wiring was so bad we had to cut the dash out with wire cutters so the entire car was rewired with an ISIS Power system with InMax touchscreen. No switches or keys to the vehicle. Then it got a full custom interior. When it was done the client flew out and we road tripped it 2200 miles back home.
