I've always liked the 60's muscle cars and at one time tried to purchase a 67 Camaro as my first car. The bank didn't like the appraisal on the car ($6700 at that time) and later let me borrow $15000 to buy an 87 Firebird. I think that I would probably still have the Camaro if I had bought it back then.
I would like to get this eventually: (IMG:http://members.shaw.ca/erikdumas/hot%20camaro%202.jpg) or this: (IMG:http://members.shaw.ca/erikdumas/hot%20%2066%20mustang.jpg) (IMG:http://members.shaw.ca/erikdumas/hot%2066%20mustang%202.jpg) How about you guys? Have some pictures of your hot rods (or dream rods) that you would care to show? |

no pictures...1st car at 15 was a '67 Mustang, then a 510(I know, does not qualify), then an early '70s Nova, then a '73 Mach 1...last car that I owned that was a semi-muscle car was an '80's Capri with a full 5 lug SVO suspension and newer 5.0 and 5 speed transmission that I swapped into it....

I like both the Camaro and the Mustang in your pictures. All my pictures are not digital quality, I had a 1958 Corvette whin I was 15, I paid $90.00 for it in 1973 no engine, trans and no front end on it. My dad and I spent two years putting it back together. That was time well spent, it kept me out of trouble, I plan to do the same with my 14 year old daughter soon. I sold it and bought a 1971 Chevelle SS454, LS5. Then eventually got a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 with 351 Windsor and a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) 1970 Mustang Mach1 with a 428 Cobra Jet. I been through quite a few cars since then, but I sure wished I 'd kept those, when I sold them it seemed like I really needed the money then, looking back, I wished I had kept them all.

I started with a 67 Mustang coupe, now I have a 67 fastback. It's my dream car and I'm keeping it forever. Here's a pic:

it's amazing what those cars are going for today, and what they were worth back inth e 60's and the 70's, I've always wanted a 68 or 69 SS396, marina blue would be fine with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Levi: What year is that Chevelle? A friend of mine has a blue one that I believe is a 64 that he converted to a drag racer (tubbed, 454, fibreglass,etc.) It was in rough shape when he got it otherwise I'm sure he would have restored it.

I came home from football practice 'n' my oldest brother asked if I wanted to see the NEW family car. Mom would save up the cash 'n' buy a new car every once in awhile. "Sure", I said. There he showed me 'n' the fastest I had yet got to go. I could feel the G forces 'n' my grin wasn't just from the G's. There she stood brand sparklin' new bright orange with two big fat white racin' stripes runnin' down the middle. A hood scoop for the rear induction. Black leather interior, with instrumentation runnin' up a console like a teener. It was a limited 1969 Z28 Camaro 302. Needless to say he was never allowed to buy a family car again.

I love muscle cars! My brother has a 65 mustang coupe he rebuilt from the ground up (its actually for sale because he's going overseas) that I absolutly loved. It has a 289, but it has plenty of power for what it is.
I grew up in my mom's 56 chevy belair. Its still sitting in the back yard... I swear Im going to fix it up when Im done with the teener. One of my friends from school has a 67 Camaro he wedged a 472 big block into. That thing is friggen SWEET.

You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,622 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None |
My fav Muscle car is a truck. A 1978 Dodge Lil' Red Express. In 1978 The Dodge Li'l Red Express was the fastest American made vehicle from 0 to 100 MPH. My neighbor had one. One I will also, but it has to be a 78, in 79 they went from single round headhlights to 4 square.

Just sold a 71 duster w/ a 318, i know it's not what most people think of when you say muscle car, but it was a great daily driver. Had to have the money for concrete for the garage i'm building, then i can work on the teener. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) a friend of mine is buying a 69 camaro RS, mostly complete, for $600, i'm looking forward to helping turn some wrenches on that!
