Default What do you all think would be a better project.?

A 69-70 Mach1, an Original 71 Z28, a 69 Pontiac Firebird with a 400cu" engine and 4spd, or a 67 Olds Cutlass, all original (400cu")...
All of the above cars are all in pretty good shape and would take very little to get them how I want them. I just cant decide on which one I like the best... I'm leaning towards the Mach1 or the 69Firebird... (the Z28 and Olds are both auto's)
Thanks..

After reading Micheal Lamm's book the "Fabulous Firebird" my impression is the Firebird was a better built, better optioned car than the Camaro of the same year. I vote for the Firebird.

I'd say the Firebird 400 , or the Mach 1 if its got a 428.
The Fords don't handle as well as the GM' cars around this time, but still are awesome cars.
