Favorite Classic Car??

Random question, but I thought why not start a thread on this...What's your favorite classic car. We'll say, anything pre-1980...


Mine- 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 454 (Preferibly Black with the white stripes)

or a 1970 Hemi Cuda. Drooool.

As far as I can tell its GENERAL as well as an AUTO RAMBLING. Doesnt say honda/civic only. Thanks, Management.

you mean a Chevelle SS Laguna 454 with the LS6, hehehe.

Mine is probably the 67 camaro, SS, black, and the one I saw with a blown 502 and the whole body was dropped 3"

There's a lot of classic cars that I will never see in person, drive or own... but of the ones my dad owned I loved his 63 Austin Healey in British Racing green and his 71 Dodge Charger in a green metal flake... That car HAULED! I will own a charger again some day...

For all those into the classic car scene you should check out Hot August Nights in Reno, NV. I have been going every year for the last 3 years and it is fu(kin' awesome. Last year was the best, because it was the first year we actually go to have my old man's car entered. What an awesome week of cool cars.
