    Love all muscle cars from the 60's-'70s.
    For the night is dark and full of terrors

    Very nice, man. If you ever decide to get rid of her ^^ let me know. I've always wanted a ranchero. I just gotta finish this duster first!



    People shouldn't be afraid to try to get/work on a classic car. If you've always wanted one, go for it! It's a learning experience, and takes a lot of time and work, but anything worth it does.

    Mine was a midget. Sure sad to see it go. Maybe I'll get a chance to restore another one day.

    Probably not, because you're already in today's crowd liking what is old today.

    Which is why I have to rescue as many of these cars as I can now. They'll be rust by the time I'm that age, and I'll be stuck driving some ugly future car ^^

    If you are really dedicated, I am sure you'll be able to keep it up and running. How to get fuel for it is a different story though, if anything changes on that part by then. I am sure some dedication can get you around also issues like that.

    If the world goes to mostly electric or something else, I'll update the internal workings of one. I like the engine sound, but I mostly am in love with the style, so I'd be ok with doing that.

    My late uncle had a Duster with a 440 in it, I am still trying to get my hands on it from my aunt. He was the only owner of the car and i still has no rust....

    I would prefer a original Dodge Power Wagon over any modern vehicle, they are practically indestructible and very easy to work on. Modern vehicles are too complex.

    I have a 68 Camaro. Since it isn't an SS or a show car so it didn't need to be factory original I went with a somewhat modern interior. A/c, bucket seats, stereo, things like that. Also went with a modern LS motor. My dream, if I could have any car, would be an original 60's Ford Cobra.
    I'm the root of all that is evil, yeah, but you can call me cookie.

    Ford mustang, looks like '69?, commercial. Doubt Ford could afford to license the song.

    I'd want a Plymouth Baracuda, cause there's something about these cars I really like. I love classic cars, but I'd modernize the crap out of them. I do not like carburetor's . Also I'd put a Viper V10 in a Cuda. Good luck finding one, cause the half rusted ones are like $10k and the fully restored ones are more than a Tesla.

    Cars are like videogames. We remember the two good ones from an entire year and forget all the garbage and declare videogames of old were great and videogames now suck, because we are immersed in the good and the bad of now.

    (that being said, last year and this year are have been awesome years for videogames, a Renaissance)

    Nobody looks back and says, oh yeah that AMC Gremlin. That's what I remember. Or the '58 Ford Edsel. Or the '73 Reliant Robin. No, it's always the original corvette or mustang. The truth is there are plenty of inspired cars these days, we just also see the common cheap cars around us that will be forgotten in 10 years.


    Also, I want to emphasize I'm not saying that cool cars of yesteryear aren't cool, just that we look back with big ol' rose-colored nostalgia glasses.


    Think about the '90s now. People declared all the time in the 90's that the art of auto was dead, but there were all sorts of great cars around then too that we remember now and forget the rest. The Nissan Skyline? The older Subaru STis? Even the 90's Mustang was actually an interesting car in its own right.

    '65 Mustang, '70 Mustang (I think the one you're looking at)

    Probably too recent to be classified as an actual classic but


    the 930 slantnose porsche is just a thing of beauty
    1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
    2) Unrack
    3) Crank out 15 reps
    4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day

    Its over 25 years old, it is a classic. It is also a car very few people should ever try to drive.
