you mean red head? I don't get your joke I guess

I love 3rd Gen's and always want a few, but my all time dream car is a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. There are a few others I would love to have as well.
68-72 Nova 2 door. I had a 72 Last year and miss it everyday.
GNX
78 Z28 T-top 4-speed.
72 Torino sport roof.

this is a Testa Rossa... as in the 1957 Ferrari 250 TR (Testa Rossa)

I have been lucky as I have had driven or ridden in the following:

Z06 - (Driven)
1990 Trastarossa (Ridden) OMG!
Nissan GTR (Ridden) OMG!
BMW 330ci (Driven)
BMW 328 vert (Driven)
New GTO (Driven)
Viper Coupe (Ridden)
67 Vette convert 327 4 speed Side Pipes (Driven)
1957 Chevy 210 328 Powerglide 70K miles (Owned)
1973 Corvette Coupe (Driven)

I wish I could have a GTR or the Testarossa. Countach would be nice too.
actually you can buy a 80s Testarossa for around 40-70K with low miles but the maint. will kill you.

which would be RED head not pink head...

yes, that's correct

Dream cars:
late 80's-early90's Jaguar XJS drophead, bright red, tan top and interior.
1950's Jaguar salon car (with modern drivetrain) to use as high-end limo.
Testa Rossa

might not be much of a dream to most people but when i was 15 i told my dad i was gonna get me a 1986 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe, wich was going to be hard to since there was only 200 of them made. Fast forward over the years i had already owned about 5 or 6 regular SS montes and the last being an 87 aerocoupe I stumbled across a pristene 86 aerocoupe that an older guy had in his collection of vetts and stuff needing to thin out the herd and here she sits now, had it since 1999. #65 of 200 and 13k miles and change.

Nice car! I we have a local dealer that has one for sale at 10,995 with 62K miles

http://jackmaxton.com/details.cfm?se...&cfid=21480838

it is a 928 porsche in scarface and risky business-i have a 1981 928 not really all that fast with it's 220hp 4.5l SOHC v8(my z28 will run away from it)Also chassis not overly rigid-something we are used to with our thirds...The 928 engine sound in risky business is authentic

Yea that 1 is a 1987 model, they made6052 of the87 models. Nice car and price ain't bad for an 87

Well, outside the world of third gen cars, I would like to have a Ford GT40 with twin turbos.


I'll never be able to afford one, I'd be happy just to be able to drive one a time or two.

my other junk.

as well as a few others; Shelby Cobra, 68 Super Bee, 62 Impala bubbletop 409...

I'm lucky enough to already have one of my other dream cars:

Nice 67!! Almost like the one I just sold, but mine was a hardtop. Don't see too
many in Butternut Yellow.

Here are my two dream cars from when I was almost 16 and really noticing new cars at the dealerships. Now both are in my garage. Kinda cool hearing several other members listing the monte as one of their "dream cars". My true out of reach dream car would have to be a 69 Yenko Camaro, but on the more realistic side of that a 69 camaro with RS hideaway headlights would be #1 on my list.

1966 GTO rag top, garnet red, white interior, white top. 389 with a 4 speed. Rally wheels and redline tires. Seen one on barret jackson go for a little over 300,000. Eh I think for that much my IROC will.work.

Damn, I would do anything for that car. Nice Ride

I like the Monte Carlos too, they just have the classic look about them... there's a guy around here with a white SS and it has a 502, that thing sounds nasty, he gives it hell too.

1st gen GTOs are killer, and I like the 67' Chevelle.

I hope to make the 67'-68' Firebird 400 and the 85'-88' Monte Carlo SS a reality someday, but that won't happen for a LONNNGGGG while...

Wish I had some "junk"

Yeah your right they are..

But damn they look very alike

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_944

Yeah im talking about one of these

EDIT: LOL sorry thats the same link you posted

Not a problem I love being educated, especially when it comes to cars...

Interesting. I was a tech at a Chrysler dealer for a little over 5 years and I HATED those mitsubitchy 3.0L V6s and loved the 2.2/2.5L engines. The turbo cars had way more hp and torque too. Not to mention a lot more accepting of mods. One benefit with the 3.0 is that it'll rustproof the bottom of the car as you drive ; )

I never much cared for the K cars. Why did the 4 bangers always have a knock?

Any nice performance model or special edition Pontiac, the most notable being the '88 Fiero GT, the GTO Judge, and the second gen Trans Am. The '88 Fiero was a bad little dude with the 5 speed and 2.8, and it had Lotus designed suspension which made it flat wicked at autocrosses. The Judge is THE muscle car in my mind. And to me, the second gen Trans Am represents classic American definition of "cool," something that has fallen by the wayside in the current era of complicated society and soulless, cheaply manufactured, high-tech crap. The lines and every little detail were pure artwork. If Fonzie were a car, he'd be a 1973 Brewster Green Trans Am with the 455. And there is nothing cooler than the 77-78 "Bandit" cars.


And I like some rice with my chicken
1984-87 Corolla GT-S/ AE86

A little over 1 ton, they rev to the moon and they just rip through corners. Plus unless you're on the west coast you're lucky to see one in a whole year. I'd LOVE a clean hatch.


Chuki 240SX coupes ('Onevia' for those not stateside) are just too sweet when done up right and supposedly you can drive one at almost a 90* angle all day without breaking a sweat. I'd take mine with an LS swap though.


------------------
Thirdgens are still king in my book though. Tons of soul, cool as hell when done up properly, they'll rip through corners as well as anything with some good shocks and SFC's, they're easycake to control when they're sideways (You can drift one into a parking spot just fine, lol...) AND of course, dat. v8.

My buddy has a 5 speed 928 that he picked up from his uncle. He babies it though. He said its like playing tackle football with grandma.

That was just to let you know the engine was broken in. Honestly, the neons had much more knock. I think there was a little exess piston to wall clearance. Two years befor I got rid of my neon the knock was so bad a homless guy told me I needed a new engine when I was warming it up befor leaving work one day. The last year I had it I was trying to grenade the 2.0 (was going to swap in a 2.4). It went without oil changes. Only topping it up with 75w140 gear oil. It made four passes at the dragstrip, twice doing a one wheel peel through 1st and 2nd (4000rpm dump on snow tyres). Never shifted out of 1st or second below 5500rpm. And so on. I ended up buying another car because it started to rust in the quarter panles but it still ran well enough to do a nice big burnout befor it went to the scrapyard. And the k car engines are tougher.

HOLY **** DUDE!

Is that a photo chop in your sig or is that your car?

It looks F'n awesome with those Iroc's

rocket bunny that's a new one to me is that a company or a Nick name for the car it been about 8 years since I have been into ricers

If i had to choose in the "Tuner" section I would say a 70's Datsun 280Z


which is definitely a classic by now.

and I have always loved those Subaru Impreza's you can never go wrong with four wheel drive



or a Supra

Thanks! It's a chop that a member did for me. I've got my wheels coming! That's what she'll look like come spring.

my wifes junk 69 lemans convert.

This is another one of my dream cars that I'll eventually have in the next few years after I finish with my other projects:

I dont even like 2nd gens but that one is really sweet.

It's the company that makes that body kit.
^The car in action. It does have an LS1.

If that's junk I guess my car would be "perfect" Lol
That's beautiful!!

Are you even human?? Lol

It's a preference... Didn't really notice on the 3.0, but I do know that the 2.2/2.5 are WAY too close to the ground for my tastes. I had to fix 2 holes in the oil pan on a family member's 2.5 because that stupid pan was so close to the ground that gravel would come up and hit it (didn't help it was rusted). Not to mention the crappy TBI system that has way too many things regulating the fuel pressure. That same car never ran right when the engine was replaced (engine lost all oil through those 2 tiny little gravel holes and spun the #3 rod bearing... she INSISTED on replacing the engine) until I de-gummed the FPR. I was hoping against hope that the stupid "shuttle valve" under the FPR wasn't also sticking. Ticked me off when she decided to trade that gas-guzzling POS (seriously, 180 miles on 10 gallons of gas!) in on another gas-guzzling POS after I dropped nearly $3000 worth of work into it . Seriously, couldn't Chrysler design a torque converter that matched up to the flexplate in ANY clock position? Took me an hour to get that thing lined up! I'd get it lined up, and only a couple bolts would go in... Nope. Got to take the bolts back out and spin the TC another 90 degrees... .

Besides, I can't imagine the 3.0 valve covers sealing any worse than the ones on the 4-cylinders. Stupid thing still leaked after I resealed it with RTV 3 times on the 2.5 (the one that was factory to the car and was replaced). And the replacement engine was just as caked with oil from the valve cover. Along with the oil pans on both... Both of those leaked as well.

Only thing I hated about the 3.0 in the Daytona I had for a while was the fact that the valve guides or seals needed work... I never got to install the head set I bought for it (and still have, ironically, if I haven't finally chucked it yet). That thing was like the old cold SBC adage... Every time it started it had that blue cloud. Oh, and the stupid A/C compressor squealed (A/C didn't work), so I took the belt off. Nice of Chrysler to use a second belt just for the A/C on top of the serpentine belt.

Seems to me, with Chrysler, it either leaks or it leaks worse. Although, I would gladly dump the factory ECU for a MegaSquirt or similar. I can't believe they actually sell kits to fix those things because they fail so often...

First Gen Monte Carlo for me...had a '70 until it caught fire about four years ago

67 rs camaro like the one I bought 25 yrs ago
They have gotten way too expensive, a picture is cheaper.

Same thing happened to me about 5 years ago. My 1962 Vette sprung a fuel leak onto the
exhaust manifold while I was driving! Never knew fiberglass would burn so fast!!

or

one of my best friends has a show winning 70 astro blue monte with the 400 small block. ridden in it many times. thing has tons of torque!

Just curious what everybody thinks of this? I seen one driving around a few months back and it caught my attention.

its funny how the new charger hardly looks like the old one, so they used a new challenger to make that superbird look-a-like

I think its ugly, i want that spoiler though

that works cause the original superbird is pretty ugly too but its a beast so..yeah. famous

This is as bad as people trying to make 1970 Trans Ams out of new Camaros. Or bandit t/as out of new Camaro's. The roofline on both cars ruins it as it does not match the original.

Make a 69 trans am out of a new Camaro and a CUDA out of a challenger. That will work AND look good as it matches the original chassis.

I have 3 that are tied for what my dream car would be

67 to 69 cougar

68 mustang

but the one I would want most is a 69 GTO

I think the new Challenger as a Cuda looks stupid:
