My Favorite Musclecar

**Hotrodpaul** · #1 12-13-2007, 03:31 PM

Just curious of all the Musclecars you have had over the years, what is your favorite? The choice should include looks, power, handling, value, overall quality, etc, and be limited to 60's and 70's cars or trucks of any make.

I think my 1970 Z-28 would rank up there as my top Musclecar I have owned as far as handling, power, and looks.

Let's hear your opinions.....

The 68 Chevy II SS has been my favorite car since I was 15 when I saw my first one rotting away under a tree.... First year Nova to get the big block and is different than the other 3rd gen Novas in a lot of ways. I think the quality was good, power was great, handling... not so good with a tug boat motor up front... Value seems to be good as well. Just a cool car in a lot of ways.

If a vette counts, it would have to be a '63 SWC, sebring silver with a blue interior, knockoffs, and sidepipes.

Otherwise, a Yenko Deuce! Best small block GM ever offered, F41 handling package, close ratio stick, big rear gear, and few enough to be unique - if only the stripes & wheels were optional!

I've always admired the 1970 Corvette w/LT-1 350..

------If we are talking about an actual car that we have owned it would be Red Alert,,,hands down!!! A low ten second ride in a four thousand pound car is just too much fun. If there is a second choice it would be my old black 69 L89 El Camino that was at fall Chevy-Vettefest. That musclecar has it all as far as I am concerned........Bill S

The 68-70 Chevrolet Nova is my favorite!! I had a 69 when I was 15 and all thru high school. It had a mildly built 327 with nitrous, 411 rear, turbo 350 tranny. This car kicked but and was scary! I did lots of street racing with this car. My buddy had a 72 Plymouth Scamp with a built 360 and nitrous. We worked on each others cars and would go out cruisin and terrorizing the streets on Friday and Saturday nights. We both worked at gas stations and would spend our whole paychecks on speed parts making the trip to Super Shops or Summit Racing...

We never raced each other but without a doubt we both had the fastest cars in our high school. Nobody wanted to run us with the exception of another friend that bragged about his 65 Mustang hipo-289 car, built, 4 speed. I raced him one night and my nova just went up in smoke off the line. I creamed him by about 12 car lenghts or more. I remember burying the tach at 8 grand in 1st gear and I could not get tracton until 3rd gear.. Oh the stupid things we did when we were young. I am surprised that car was never my coffin!!

I now have a 70 L78 car that I love.. I have always loved these cars and body styles...

Sorry to hi-jack the site here but just wanted to share/re-live my youth!!!!!!

Favourite I did have will always be my '70 442 Post car...not a W30 but a factory W25 hooded 2 Dr. Sedan M40...still w/ the original engine/trans when it left me!.

Favourite I always wish I had and still ask Santa for each year is a '65 L78 Vette coupe...either that or a '66 L72 is Ok too if you're reading this Santa!.

Mine would be the 69-70 Big block nova's. They just have a great look and have awesome power. Plus you put some dog dish caps on there and it looks like a little grocery getter. But it has to have a four speed and be either blue or silver.
