Favorite Classic Car

What is your favorite Classic Car? A car that is at least 25 years old or older. I have always been a big fan of this one. 1957 Buick 2 door HT.


I love this one too, since I owned one identical to it. 1965 GTO

I once owned a 69 Chevelle SS 396 with a four speed tranny. I'd love to have another one of those. I also like the 63 Stingray and the 55 Chevy. Those late 40's and early 50's Chevy five window pick-ups are nice as well.

I've always liked the 1970 Challenger 426.




The 1949 Mercury Lead Sled.




Also like Rick, I dig the '68 Fastback. My mom had one when she was in college. For a short time in high school, I owned one that I rebuilt with some friends then sold about a year later.

Although I've owned a 1969 Camaro RS and a 1970 SS Chevelle 454. I would have to go with a 1970 Cuda or a 1970 1/2 Camaro.

Big Pontiac GTO fan here. I'd love to have one someday though I doubt I ever will.

I also think the old AMC Javelins were cool cars, and underappreciated, especially today.

Jim Morrison drove a blue Mustang similar to those pictured above. I read that he just left it at the Los Angeles airport in 1971 when he left for Paris, where he died at age 27.

you guys need to visit Pigeon Forge this September for the Shades of the Past car show. Awesome display of old cars, annual event with everything out there, I think it's for cars Pre-1972. Sep 11 and 12th .

I went to this a few years ago. It was very interesting and I enjoyed all of the Hotrods that were there too.
