Shawn, I'm not too picky...If I could, I'd probably have a collection like Reggie Jackson! minus the cars that burnt in his garage fire

In no particular order-
Volvo 122- done up rally style. In memory of my father.
Saab 96 with 2 stroke 3 cylinder. Again in memory of my father. He liked the off-beat Swedish cars.
1927 Pontiac Landau Sedan- just like the one my great grandfather was so proud of in the pictures.
1969 RAIV GTO Judge.
Austin Healey 3000.
1959 Cadillac Eldorado convertible.
1969 RAIV Trans Am.
1953 Buick Skylark. One of the prettiest cars ever to come out of Detroit.
1957 Fuelie 'Vette.
Ferrari 275 GTB. One of the prettiest cars ever. Period.

How's that for an eclectic list?

62 chevy bubble top 409 dual quad

Late 40's early 50's buick stock outside, modified drivetrain underneath with 600+ cubes

Anything that looks timid but isnt!

Speaking of fords, theres a ford, i think a 1960, nearby!

What could be the best combo for that, seems like it would be cool!

Any ford guys lurking

A 60 Ford might not be the best choice for performance. I think the big motor was a 351cu in 300hp. In 61 they introduced the FE motor with 390 cu in 405 hp with a unique 6 barrel carb kind of like a tri-power all in one. 62 brought the 406 cu in still 405 hp then in 63 the 427cu with 425hp.

The 60 has half moon shaped taillights and is a very wide car. I thought they were ugly back then but now I think they are cool looking rides. Not too many around because they were real rust buckets. 61 and later have round taillights.

Ralph's list is way too long.

Jeremy's list shows real love. Lots of different stuff. There's more than just going fast or quick.

I should have said 62 Bubble top 409 not 63 although I wouldn't throw a 63 lightweight Impala hardtop out of the garage either.
