If you could have any classic car (aka Official Bears Winn, Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegence Thread)

The Vette makes 'em wet!! '67 Stingray convertible with 427 is GOAT.

My brother had the 89 5.0 Fox body that was super decked out for street racing, full race tires, hidden undebody air scoop w/ supercharger, extra suspension and swaye bars, etc. That thing was legendary. It prevented my parents from giving me a car capable of going above 60 when I turned 16 but man, the times we had in that car almost made it worth it.

I'm not a Ford guy in general but when they peaked their cars were iconic and era defining.

Shout out the @RaceBannon and the 1956 Chevrolet. @creepycoug and his people are still driving them.

Bro, how are you gonna get that car and not have the split rear window? Forget the convertible.

How old does the car have to be to be considered a "classic" these days?

They are. Love those cars. Also prefer the Vette two-tone roadster, but I do love the 60s era stingrays.

Race had already had his license pulled for failing the vision test when that car came out.

Get your timeline in order man.

This 55 Mercedes gull wing i saw at Wheels and Waves in Santa Barbara 5 years back has always stuck with me.

Billy Joe Z28 or earlier...

Yella and doog-bot took two of my considerations. My dad's fren had a body/paint business and had that GT 500 in his home shop for about a year. I sat in it a lot and even got to start it once. Cool story bro.

The 67 Vette with the 427 was the best Vette by a mile. It could come in a 435hp version with three 2-barrels iirc. Bad ass. The 427 was the best production muscle motor that both Ford and Chevy made.

I'm a mopar guy, however. No way I can pick a favorite. I really like the six- pack versions of both the 340 and 440. I'd lean toward a TA Challenger 340 6 pack


Or maybe the fastest (1/4 mile) all stock Mopar made...


My Dad had some sweet ones in my teen years...a 70 RT Charger in lime green with a 440, a 68 Road Runner 440 which he built with a dual 4 barrel manifold among other things (ran low 12s with street tires), and his last, and my favorite, a 69 Dart GT 440 (original 383 car but that's boring and he had multiple 440s sitting around).

I could go on and on. I really miss muscle cars.

One of my two dads has had dozens of old Mopars. Currently has a 1970 Challenger T/A w/shaker hood. Had a 1969 R/T w/440 6-pack, a couple 1970 R/T's w/440's, other Challengers, Demons, etc in the past. Cool story, bro. Also has an 87 Buick Grand National.

I can't pick one, so I would take any of these.

That is a cool story, bro. For real. Some serious $$ value therethat I bet your dads would like to have back now.

Dad had a couple of hemi cars when I was young or not quite born...a Sport Fury (65, I think) and a 69 GTX. He'd almost cry when the GTX came up. I think that was his favorite ever and he sold it for a song when my youngersister was born and money got tight.

You fags need some culture. Two picks here, one for cruising with @Doog_de_Jour and the other for surviving the end of the world.

34 Ford Special Speedster. Coolest art deco hot rod ever made by American hands.



If the apocalypse is happening, I choose a 1949 Willy's Pickup with a hemi. Fist full of Fuck Yeah!
