Classic car owners, anyone?

[Idiotfool]

Anybody own a classic or muscle car? Although I've owned a 1971 Maverick Grabber that I partially restored, I still like the classic age, more.

Not mine:

I'll be in posession of a large home, soon, with a huge garage where I plan on creating my dream vehicle. It will be a stretched cab 1933 Dodge 1/2 ton truck. I'm going to cut the middle out of a 33 sedan and join the back to the front to create an extended cab (king cab) and add the truck bed.

I love old cars, especially when they're in perfect condition. This one isn't an old car, but a modern car designed to look old. Sadly I don't own one...

EFIJY is a radical pillarless custom coupe boasting V8 Supercar power under the bonnet, Chevrolet Corvette underbody and state-of-the-art automotive technology throughout.

The "Soprano Purple" paintwork highlights its curvaceous 5.2-metre body, reinterpreting the classic design cues of the iconic 1953 FJ Holden. It delivers retro, mumbo and gizmos in one glorious package.

My dad used to have an MG B GT, but we had to sell it because it was impossible to drive over the goddamn speedbumps that started popping up everywhere. Or at least not without leaving your tailpipe behind.

I've been told it was 21 years for a car to reach classic status, but "Classic Cars" generally refers to cars 20-45 years old. I guess, then, that I want an Antique car, which is 45+.

Pixote: is that the Japanese electric car concept?

SuAside: cool looking cars. Shame your father had to get rid of it.

 

[DammitBoy]

That's the aussie concept car by holden, right?

Awesome, but you'll never see one on the road...

I love old cars, but mostly European.

One of my favorites is Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa from 1957.

Also, James Bond's Aston Martin DB5.

Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

From American, Plymouth Belvedere "Highwayman"...

though not that much...

I love Ford Mustang

But two of mine favorite cars are:

Fiat 500

and of course, Volkswagen Beetle

Yea, that's pretty cool. Reminds me of something out of Speed Racer.

That Merc 300SL will kill you one day.

Love the classic american muscle cars, though i don't have enough money to even own a decent car currently and even if i did, i probably wouldn't have enough money to keep it running with these fucking fuel prices.

My favorites:

Buick GNX 1987

Chevy Camaro 1973

Dodge Charger 1969

The 60' in America must have been a blast

My subaru a few years ago.

Sometimes referred to as a "cult classic"

Thinkin about runnin a few Maine Rallys with it when I move back up there.

 

[DammitBoy]

Me at the sweet tender age of 16 on the day I bought my '68 mustang coupe. I paid $850 for it in 1976.

After I finished hot rodding it up

I loved that car.

 

[Atomkilla]

What happened with it?

 

[DammitBoy]

What happened with it?

I sold it for $2000 in 1979 to pay for college.

A sad tale.

 

[Atomkilla]

Truly sad.
Sorry, mate.

Anyway, just remembered another astonishing car - Ferrari again.
Ferrari Daytona.

Amazing machine.

And Lamborghini Countach.

One of the best-looking badass cars.
