What was your dream car when you were 16?
Wanted a 68 Camaro,bronze,black rally stripes,craiger 5 spokes wheels,bronze morroso valve covers.
Kinda looked like this in my mind.
Yep, very nice, and the Fuchs are perfect.
And then there’s the bad guy’s black Charger from “Bullit”. The only MoPar I admired.
I had a ‘46 Ford pickup. I wanted to restore it, but found out it had a ‘49 Merc motor, ‘50 Ford truck transmission, and rear end out of something else, with the frame cut up and welded to make them fit. It barely ran anyway, so I sold it for what I paid for it ($125). I’d like to have that Merc flathead today.
Ouch. Like I said...
Lotus Europa John Player Special
At 16 my dream car was a 1962 Chevy Impala SS 409 Dual Quad 4 Speed... like I said, dream car just like the guy down the block had.
Yeah.
There were four factory modded GNX-Evo’s with V8’s in them that could out accelerate the Ferrari F-40, and the Ruf CTR.
I thought it was the best looking car I ever saw. Can you see a 16 year old girl in one in 1965.
