I have an 03 Mustang GT in Zinc Yellow. Lowered 1.5", 4.10 gears, Steeda Tri-Ax shifter, aluminum drive shaft, Accufab 75mm upper intake and throttle body, K&N filter, SLP Loud Mouth exhaust (it is very loud), Cobra wheels, and a Diablo Predator to tune it.

used to own a 71 dodge challenger r/t 340 4bbl hemi orange auto dman that was a nice car one of those why the hell did i sell that !!!
My Login gives it away, 1968 Triumph TR250 and a 1974 Triumph Spitfire
My dream car would be to get my first car, 1969 Ford Torino w/428CJ. I remember bringing that one home and my dad saying " let me see your license, because the cops will have it pretty soon".
Another British car nut in Illinois! I have an Austin Healey 100. It does not run, needs tons of work, but I love it!
I just bought an Audi Quattro yesterday, a very rare 1985 model with only about 20 left running in the UK, the engine sound’s ACE, it’s a big five cylinder model, do any of you remember the late 1980’s when John Buffam, Michelle Mouton and Walter Rholl won the Pikes Peak hill climb in Quattro’s, the sound of these 600 bhp machines roaring up hill was Bloody fantastic, pardon the french.
I haven’t bought a car yet but I was looking at one of those Chevy Cobalts. They seem like a nice car.
My dream car would be a 1971 Hemi Cuda Converetible. With Plum Crazy paint w/ a white interior, and steelie wheels and dog dish hub caps. To bad I’ll never get one since the go for over $1million.
You’ve got the right brand, Gearhead!
I’ve currently got two “classic” Mopars- a 69 Charger that needs a lot, and a 54 M37 Dodge military 4x4 that is waiting for me to rebuild the motor. My so has a 73 Duster for his first car.
In the past- another 69 Charger, a 71 Charger and a 73 Charger, a 69 GTX, and a 70 Coronet convertable- should have kept them all!
Mine would have to be either a Bowler Wildcat (race-spec 4x4 using a mix of Land Rover parts and others) or to finish modifying my current wheels, a 1996 Land Rover Discovery TDI. Has the manual gearbox and no annoying electronics, so far I’ve fitted a single-silencer exhaust and it’s getting BFG A/T tyres soon. I’d like to add the 2.8 TDI engine (stock is 2.5) and uprated suspension along with the usual extras (snorkel, winch, steering/diff guards, etc). End result would be a 10 year old truck that could scare the living daylights out of a new BMW!
I’ve had tons of muscle cars over the years. 4 Mustangs (my first car, a '66, a '70 Mach 1, a '74, and a '78), a '70 & a '72 Callenger both with a 340 magnum and a slap stick, a '71 Cuda with a 440 and dual quads on a tunnel ram and slap stick (with those fatties on the back I could pull the front wheels off the ground in first and second gear!), a '71 Demon with a 340, '75 Duster with a 318, a '69 Dodge Polara with a 440 Police Interceptor engine (an ex California high speed pursuit car!), 2 '57 Chevies (one with a Corvette 327 and a 4 speed and the other with a 427 and an automatic), a '65 Buick Skylark convertible, 1 '79 Trans Am (dated my wife in this car), a '72 Torino with a Boss 302 engine dropped in, and the one I just sold, a '68 Camaro SS with a 350 bored .30 over and stroked (this thing was blindingly quick, when you could get it to hook up) that pushed out 560 horsepower.
I’ve also dabbled in some sports cars and even a couple of 4x4’s. I’ve had a '68 Jeeb Commando that had a 4 inch lift on the axles and some huge nubby tires (this thing would climb the side of a house), and some buddies of mine came over one weekend to build a beater out of parts I had scrounged and we built a '73 El Camino on a '69 GMC 4x4 frame with a 350 and 4 inch lift on the body and another 4 inch lift on the axles and then slapped some 44 inch unidirectional monster mudder tires on it and mad one heck of a beast out of it. I’ve also been fortunate enough to own a '71 Fiat 850 sport spyder and I’m getting ready to buy a '73 Porsche 914.
I’ve also owned a few others that weren’t so interesting. Chevetts, Pinto’s (although one of my 3 Pinto’s was a short track roundy round racer, that was fun), a '79 T-Bird, and a few others.
God has been VERY good to me![:D]
Just found this video clip of an Audi sport Quattro S1 on an enthusiast day, not for dial up users http://www.samepower.com/Filer/StageDrive-Audi.WMV
my dad has some classic cars- 79’ Chevy Camaro w/ 350 V8, 69’ Plymoth RoadRunner w/ 383 V8, 75’(?) Dodge Challenger w/ 340 V8

i like the horn on the roadrunners [:D][;)][swg]
Since I was 10 years old I’ve always been into cars. I’ve always liked Trans Am’s, probably seeing Smokey and the Bandit when I was 12 years old set the tone for me for years to come, lol. I’ve owned a 1970, 1974, 1976, 2 1977’s, 2 1979’s and my present one, a 1978. Its got a 455 thats been bored to 462 cubic inches now and has all the best performance parts I could afford at the time when I built it. The thing is just a rocket, I like lighting up the tires beside those idiot ricers at 30 mph. Its run a best of 12.20 in the 1/4, not bad for an all steel car that weighs in at over 3600 lbs. I plan on pulling the motor this winter and putting on a set of Edelbrock heads and a gear drive. I use to street race it a lot(I know its bad) and won a fair bit with it but nowdays it just see’s car shows and the odd drag strip now and then, wife permitting, lol.
Here is a picture of it, I’ve posted it here before.
You can see more of it here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/211865
I bought this car new in 2002. It only has 623 miles on it. It is the only muscle car I ever had.
1966 mustang convertible with all of the GT trim parts except for the badges.
1915 model t roadster
1927 model t touring
1941 H international tractor, not a car–but still a showpiece.
and my daily driver, an 84 dodge half-ton. I know what you’re thinking, but if you heard it and drove it you’d understand.
Greg
nope, all my nice vehicles have two wheels, not four.
Ray
bikerraypa,
Gotta love those ape hangers!
MOPARS!
There’s nothing better.
Except for a couple of beater Fords, I’ve owned nothing but Mopars
My current rides are a 98 2.5L Stratus & a 2003 PT Cruiser.
The coolest car I’ve owned, besides the Cruiser, was my 1977 Dodge Aspen R/T
318 with a factory 4 sp man transmission.
I’ve never had a muscle car but my dream car is a 66 or 67 Dodge Charger.
Dave, BTW, I loved that body on the Firebirds.
