Best/Nicest classic car or musclecar

[gigster]

What is the nicest, or highest quality classic car or Muscle Car you've ever personally driven?

[gigster]

The one I'd choose is my buddy's 1970 Oldsmobile W-30 442 in Aegean Aqua, with a 455 4-speed and air conditioning. It would score probably a 97 out of 100 points at a show, and is a AACA national award winner.

2103 Corvette Grand Sport, & 2014 Corvette Stingray, but my wife won’t let me drive hers’ anymore.

Hey! I’m in for my first post ever.

The Olds 442's are probably the best handling vintage muscle cars.

I also like the '67 - '69 Plymouth Barracuda 340 Formula S.

And the '65 GOAT.

1966 L69(tri power) Olds 442 convertible. I was an idiot and sold it before restoring it.

A Rolls Canardley.......

This, the only car I've ever driven (no joke).

70 Challenger.

I once SAT in this car. It was somewhat of an eerie experience considering Sharon Tate once owned it and drove it and Roman Polanski also drove it:

Ferrari 275 GTB4

Any C2 Corvette with a stinger hood.

Highest Quality is a toughy. A lot of them muscle cars are all the same basic quality. The AMX 2 seater was a great build quality.

But I’d have to start saying things like Packard and Studebaker for quality. I’ve seen some Hudsons that had great quality too. But muscle car is a tough one.

I thought the 70-72 Camaros were a great build quality, and the 71-73 Formulas (The RAMair 2 setup was understandable. The RA3 setup was mysterious. My 72 Formula 400, as you could imagine, didn’t like going fast in the rain when I opened the scoops.)

Shaker-hood style Mustangs were innovative with great layouts and careful finishes on body panels .. but that didn’t mean a thing when it came to the rust. The body collected water. OF course, come to think of it, so did the F bodies.

The 70 Lemans is one of my favorites for it’s attention to detail in the body line. The interior was typical GM though. The seats were really comfy (Like Poncho high backs.. and Porsche 911 highbacks. Those seats are far more comfortable than they should be)

I’ve been thinking of hunting down a Lemans these days. But in 72 the quality just went to hell.

1969 Olds 442 with 455 here.

A better can than the 1971 LS6 Chevy SS454 that replaced it

CARS Ping.
On or off, just FR Mail.

[Mr. Mojo]

And the ‘56 Chrysler 300B with the 354 cid / 355 hp Hemi.

1967 Corvette Stingray!! It belonged to my buddy who was nice enough to let me borrow it one night to impress a girl. She wasn’t that impressed, but I sure was! Smokin’!

I’m a Mopar man myself, so I’ll go along with Barracudas and the higher performance Cudas. I once briefly owned a 1970 440 Cuda convertible that had been equipped with factory air conditioning. The research I did indicated they produced 29 in 1970. I didn’t have the facility to restore it, so eventually I sold it for pittance.

I drove a 1968 Firebird Sprint with a 6 cylinder Overhead Cam 4.1 Litre, with a 4 Barrel Rochester 'Quadrajet' carb, 3-speed HURST floor shifter, racing clutch.. ALL STOCK no mods.

This car was INCREDIBLY FAST with unreal acceleration off the line and would EAT V8's in the quarter mile, hence the 'SPRINT' banner.

The Pontiac OHC6 w/4BBL was a milestone in engine development as one of the early Overhead Cams. Underrated, to say the least.

Sorry, but the car in Vanishing Point was a Challenger, not a Charger.
