I'd have to either pick the Camaro or the T-Bird.

On the topic, did anyone else know that "Camaro" translates to "loose bowels" in some language? I'm not sure which, though.

That friggin Olds that's pictured is butt ugly! But, the W30 was one of the fastest cars EVER made. A convertible was a plus, but I voted Olds because of the 'Hurst Olds' that a guy had my parents knew. White and gold....never a better lookin car since.

Second, I'd pick the Boss 351.

I had a Plymouth Roadrunner 383 and held several track records with it...I love ALL those old classics...my favorite that I owened was a '68 Mercury Cougar with a 428....although for daily driving I had a '67 Cougar with a modded 302...those WERE the days...

the 442 is pretty nice but i'd go for the vette or the camaro


if it was for $ then I think the Boss might be worth a pretty penny, dunno about the others though (in comparison of course)

At least you didn't have the GT500 as a choice. Bagh! a '66 looks so much better then there's the '67 shelby GT350! hot damn!

1) Any Shelby Cobra
2) Vette Split-window Coupe
3) Any 65-66 Shelby Mustang
4) Any Mopar with a 426 Hemi
5) Any 67-68 Shelby Mustang
6) Any 69-70 Boss Mustang
7) Any 69-70 Mach 1
8) Any other 60's Vette
9) Any 68-69 Camaro Z28/SS/RS

Actual classic/muscle car owned:

1966 Mustang GT Fastback
Nightmist Blue Metallic
Parchment/Blue Pony Interior
289 4-bbl (not the hi-po "K" engine unfortunately)
4 Speed
Rally-pack

This is the 5th 65-70 Mustang I've owned, but the first that was really special. All the others were just ordinary coupes, but I did have a '67 with a 390 in it.

An acquaintance of mine has a 68 Camaro RS/SS that he restored himself (he's a body man). 396/375HP, Muncie M21 4 Spd, Black with Brandywine red deck stripes...(drool).

My personal fave is not on your list: 70 Chevelle SS396 or SS454 Red with black deck stripes , automatic (to get the cool Cowl Induction hood... that gets a Duffman OH YEAAAAH!!!!)

how is this?

The problem with the big block mustangs was the weight distribution. On the strip, traction was a problem at the back wheels. In the corners, forget about it...

Notice how the picture of the 1969 Chevelle 427 COPO has no badges on it?
Just the usual bowtie on the grill.The Ultimate Sleeper.

As a proud Oldsmobile owner it sadens me to have to look at that picture. That does not do the Olds cars any justice. :(
