Vette(s): 2005 Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic Coupe --------------------- Sold 1974 T-top, 4 spd to BillKS
My favorite was like Ron, a 57 Chevy, only mine was a Bel Air coupe with a 327 and 4 speed.   Oh yeah, you just know it was BLUE.   Thumbs%20Up    I had that car when I met my wife, and she denies it , but I still say that car is why she started dating me.   Confused

427 1970 Nova and it's little brother, 350 1971 Nova. Both 4 speeds. Shared the garage through the 70s.
Sold the 70 when I got married in 79 and bought a different house. That one was scarey!!
The 71 left 3 weeks after I bought my black79 Vette in 1984. Was my daily driver and I was thinking about repaint no 3 at the time!
And of course my first car, the 69 GTO, would be gladly welcomed back!

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
May seem odd, but my 71 Dart Swinger.  It had a 318 2 bbl that was freaky.  That thing hauled.  Whipped a 76 Trans Am with a 400 in that critter.  I really liked driving it.
 
After that I miss my 67 LeMans and my 70 Grand Sport, then my 66 Grand Prix.
 
Of course my77 Pacer was a big favorite, and perhaps my wifes favorite.   Not a Vette,  an AMC Pacer Wagon.

My choice would be my 1965 396/425hp convertible, or my 1966 427/450hp convertible. Both of course were Corvettes. The 450hp said 425 on the aircleaner, but the window sticker and dealer copy read 450hp.......the car was a screamer............I was never beaten at the strip...........or on the road........of couse I NEVER raced on the streetRolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing corvette440hp2008-09-04 13:28:54

Vette(s): 71 Colonnade Hardtop Coupe Torch Red with black interior originally L48 built to push around 360hp

My most memorable car was a 62 Renault Dauphine. I have more memories in that car than any other I've owened. That sucker could do 0-60 in about a minute. Besides, when's the last time you can say you've seen one.Cool
