that big block boss is lovely.

 

i'm a massive fan of pretty much all mucular yanks, also liked hot rods as a kid and modded 50's chevys (55-58). great to see we have a 55 in the club!

 

also good to see that '68 ish (i'm not great with years) firebird from coffee and cars- those often get forgotten about, those and the trans-am versions, as everyone loves the camaro best (same body).

if i had to pick one.......... it'd prob be a '70 'cuda, or a '70 challenger, but this is due to change on a daily basis :lol:

i will have one, for one year only, when i'm ready for a break from the track, just to get it out of my system.

 

i nearly had a wobble this time last year when a '68 mustang coupe came up local, and when i checked the dimensions i'm pretty sure it was the same width and only 2" longer than my soop. i had visions of something like this in my head!

For me, other than a '70 charger it has to be the '70 Oldsmobile 442. Such an under-rated muscle car...

Edit: The Chevy Nova is nice too

I'm a massive American muscle and classic car fan and have been for many years, In fact the Supra is the newest car I've owned other than the daily cars. I used to work in classic car restoration for a few years and have owned Approx 10+ Ford Capri's as well as a few other classic fords.

 

I love most American muscle cars and will own one at some point. I have a bit of a thing for the '67' Pontiac GTO. I also know of one which has just come up for sale not to far from me and it's taking all my might not to sell up and buy it! :taped:
