    I'd have to say 1966-67 GTO. (Of course it would need some suspetion and brake work)

    As much as a blue blood I am, I still think the 63-67 Corvette convertible is the best looking car to roll out of Detroit. If I ever get a chance, I will buy one and stuff it full of Ford power just to piss them off. Second would be the 68 or 69 AMX. Dont like the grill on the 70. After that would be my long list of Fords starting with the 57 Ranchwagon.

    The first car I really wanted was a 1969 Super Bee...


    To me the 1967-68 Shelby Is possibly THE best looking car ever made...

    I`d love to have a 1966-67 Ford fairlane...

    My Brother had a 1969 Mustang fastback Black on Black that Made a lasting impression...


    If I could only win the lottory I`d buy one of each...along with a few others!

    I also like 57's, If I ever win the lottery, and if I can find one, I want a 427 SOHC 57' gasser.

    Fairmonts/Zephyer (Our precursors)

    Pinto's and 'Stang II's (70's Pro Stock)

    68-73 Mustangs

    Cobra's (Narrow Hips 427's, and DragonSnakes)

    Sunbeam Tiger's

    Mangusta's/Pantera's

    Ford Powered GM's, Mopar's, AMC's, etc.

    Rat Rod's, T-Buckets, A/SR's

    Pre 1979 Trucks

    77' and under Bronco's (Especially the pickup's)

    *Non-Fords*

    64'-68' Barracudas

    Demons and Darts

    Chevy II's

    Vega's/Monza's

    Old Jeep's

    I definitely wouldn't mind having either of those! If I had the gumption to buy a new car, an '08 Bullitt would definitely be at the top of my list.
