#1 '72 Pantera w all shortcomings eliminated due to upgrades. Because of the way it would make me feel! Performance, and looks w no excuses!

#2 A quality Lola T70 replica w alum. V8 Because it can be a street car w/o looking like any conventional car!

#3 '62 Ferrari GTO in a sleeper non red color like a light brown. Because you can!


#4 '71 Ferrari Daytona/GTB 365 Because it's so pretty! In a silvery blue w gray interior.



#5 ' 55 Chevy Belair 2dr HT. NO FRONT BUMPER! Candy Apple dark blue, black interior, potent small V8 w shiny blower sticking up through the hood. Has an M22 rockcrusher specially modified for overdrive highway use. This car has modern suspension, and is as capable w that on roadcourses as any sports car!

It must, and I repeat, must; have classic Cragar SS wheels. And it would have the gas filler custom hidden behind the left taillight, and the original gas door eliminated!



Why? Because its my favorite symbol of the strength, and good times that America used to represent! The start of the most famous V8 ever, and MY symbol for the USA instead of a '57 which I give honorable mention!

Other mentions for #5: '70 Hemi Cuda in the wild green, '70 LS6 Chevelle SS, '67 Shelby Mustang in non white/blue colorings, '67 Vette coupe w small block/stick heavily customized in hidden modern suspension work in a light brown!


As a PS to the other's choices so far: I also love the original Countach, and the early XKE.... I would want to CLEAN up the Jag even more: the taillights would have to be frenched in flush, no bumper extention ruining the side view, and last, but not least; it needs a shorter front end as per D type/ XKSS !!!!!!!!!!!!
