Just for fun... in 1985 or so my dad gave me a late 70s AMC Gremlin with a 220 in line 6. There was NOTHING special about the car - factory 2 barrel and everything stock. Still - it could hold its own with the early 70s Z28s & Firebirds everyone had. :)

My choice would be a 1967 Dodge Charger, black on gray.

Too bad I don't have any pics left, but when I was in High School (way back when) I drove a 1969 Olds 442. To this day I kick myself for getting rid of it.

My dad has a 1965 Plymouth Satellite with a 78 roadrunner 383 and a 4 barrel carb I will restore once I get money...... (I know the picture is a belvedere, same body small differences.)

Why that thing, that's like deciding to restore a Yugo.
except nice yugos are not worth 20-30,000.

a friend of my brothers had a original belvedere factory drag car. he let it go for over 80,000.

I know here, at least in California, you don't want a muscle car after 1970. The smog laws were starting and the horse power robbers were on thier way. The muscle car I would love to have, would be a 1967 427 Corvette.

1970 with twin scoop hood and pistol grip shifter. It was a sad day when I left it behind in San Diego to never see again. Oh well, trucks are funner anyway.
oh thats right, i remember you said once before...i love me the pistol grip, but im still a huge fan of the 727. my truck has the newer version, 46RE, in it and i love it.
1970 was the second best year for the 'Cuda IMO....the '71 was just too bad ass to say otherwise.
