Blazin, I've had over half of those in model cars over the years and dreamed of having them, what an awsome choice of rides.

That one is awesome. There is one up the road about 120 miles, it's a 78 but I would love to have it.

Trans Am's are fun, I've had a few through the years; 76 400 4sp Firethorne red, 71 455HO auto Lucerne Blue, 2002 Firehawk 6sp 1LE. The black 78 looks like a good start for a nice car. Kind of odd it has the Hurst T-Tops versus the Fisher as most 78 did. Maybe I'll get another one some day.
-
I never cared for the Hurst tops, they are to narrow, the T bar is to wide. I had an 80 Camaro with the Fisher units, they sealed better and rattled less than my buddies 80 Trans Am with the Hurst tops.
I still have all my model cars. I have about 50 of them, and maybe ten are finished. I could never leave well enough alone. I always modified them! I bought 2 pulling tractor models once for the rear tires for a 4x4 truck, and the engines to put in other models.
-
My preference in order would be the Fisher, Hurst and then the Cars & Concepts. The T-tops are nice, but you sure lose the structural strength and risk the chance of a tweaked roof. I had a set of Sub-frame connectors on the 71 T/A and you could jack the car up with a floor jack and put it on 3 jack stands, talk about a stiff/solid chassis. Wish I still had that one, oh-well.

6. 1970 Boss 429 Mustang (the only cool ford in my book is a fast back)
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR IN THE WORLD!!
Bfofish, you are soooo smart. When I was a very young lad, my favorite car was the 69 Boss Mustang--four headlights and all. But now that my tastes have matured, the 70 Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet (or Boss 429 which are very rare) painted 1970 Ford yellow (which is why I painted my first car- a 68 Mustang the same yellow, with black stripes) is tops on the list.

1. a 2002 Trans Am WS6 in the metallic dark navy blue
2. 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima converted to RWD sporting a 350/700r4. The work involved here would be prohibitive to it ever happening..
3. 1981-1991 Chevy K/V30 CC SRW 6.5TD/NV4500/205/d60/14bff rolling on 35x12.50 Cooper Discoverer STT, setup to run on Diesel, biodiesel, or vegetable oil.
4. 1984 Kawasaki KZ1000P, 1427 kit, Indian fenders, etc.
5. 1935 Indian Four
6. 1940's Indian Chief
That list could get long..there are some things that I already have that rank over certain things in this list..

??? Where did this come from? Have you seen this done before? LOL. I always liked the Volvo 200-series with either a ford or chevy SB under the hood. The ultimate sleeper. Also the Datsun 280Z to LS1 conversion is pretty cool.
-
1970 Chevelle SS, Big Block 4 spd
1962 Imapala SS, Drop Top, 4 spd
1967 Chevy II, Big Block & sticky Mickeys
...
My 1981 sitting on Rockwell axles and 54" boggers would be nice too...sporting a big Merlin between the fenders... since we are wishing here!
Why do our wishes not correspond with the cost of gas?! Rat motors and $4/gal + dont go together!
Actually, while I am wishing, my 1983 Daily driver to get 50 MPG!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
-
A few more...
1955 F100 (no, not the '56).
1955 2nd series Chevrolet 3100 pickup.
1961 F100 short box unibody (tastefully done in a restomod, with a 502 big block and a 4-speed).
1967 Chevrolet 1/2 ton short box (all original, complete with body-side moldings).
1967 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 4-speed.
2000 C3500 crew cab slammed on air with 18's.
And as implied earlier, the 1959 El Camino is my first choice. I hope to have one some day...

I've not seen it done, nor have I heard of it actually being done, but a lot of smoke blowing from people that don't show ANY proof of what they've "done".. but I love the car's body style, and on the maxima forum that I'm a member of, its a frequently brought up comment..usually when someone wants to swap in a VG30DETT and make it a RWD car, and tries to say how they don't think it could be that hard...Someone else makes a comment about why not just drop in a 350/700r4 if its "that easy"..usually directly preceeding the thread being locked..

if it was a daily driver its gotta be an Mitsubishi Evo VIII but the dream car is the Chevy '55

Funny you mention that. My stepbrother just bought an EVO IX MR. He brought it by yesterday. Nice car. But a little "loud" for my taste (the styling, not the engine).
-
I have always wanted an early 80's Toyota Supra with a small block in it.
A 2 door or a hardtop Bitzer?
-
Uh oh. A maxima, an evo, now a supra. This thread is being overrun by the Japanese.

I had a '72 Chevelle Malibu once. Really liked the style of the car. I was driving that car the first time I ever drove a car over 100 mph. It was kind of scary -- not too stable, and it was only a couple of years old. Bought it from my dad who bought it new. I can imagine an SS with a 396 or 454 and 4-speed would just throw you against the seat! Had a friend with a '68 Impala 396 4-speed. Even a car that big and heavy with all that power was definitely a thrill to drive! Always liked the big cars with lots of power!

1973 Ford Falcon XB GT coupe. (Mad Max Interceptor)
on the real dreamer list
1967 Corvette L-88
-
Yeah I'm not allowed to play games like this! I have too many on my list, so no-one else would have a chance to post theirs.... ;D
Although I will take an easier way out, and say that I would like to have all of my cars and truck finished the way I want them!

It'd have to be the hard top for cruise ability. The car dont need to go fast to be notice ;)
Apologies to Chris for original spelling of Mitsubishi!!

I could get by in an XLR-V..

A friend of mines granddad put a 327 in a Triumph Spitfire. It was wicked. Too much for a couple of 13 year old boys, my friend nailed it, and in a second we were in the ditch
-
I looks of the 2 door myself. Not just because thats what mine is either. The roof is to flat on the hard tops, looks out of whack!
Growing up a guy here in town had a 71 or so Vega with a 327 in it. That thing was wicked. Another guy had a Maverick with a Cleveland in it, that was pretty sick too. Always had a soft spot for Dusters, & Demons too. My older sister dated a guy with a 72 Duster, 340, 4 spd. with 3:55s that was a cool car. It was brown with the Starsky & Hutch white stripe.
-
I went to another car show yesterday....Did I ever mention I love '70 Mach I's? Man, they're the nicest looking things out there.
Me and my boy standing in front of my future car ;D
It's funny how if you like something when you are 13, as an adult you like it even more (I'm not necessarily talking about girls ;) )....these were my favorite cars way back then and are even more so now.

I may even get rid of my 65 GT Convertible to get one of these 70 Mach I's---I love these things

One Million Bucks and the first car I ever bought 66 Chevelle SS would do it for me.
