3. '67 Cougar with 427 (hard to find an original one)

Actually, what you mean is a '68 GT-E. But the CJs are faster. In the GT-E, they are MUCH rarer than a 427. Regular GTs could get CJs, and they made about 250 of 'em.

Going back to your list . . .

1. Pontiac: '69 or '70 RAIV GTO <font color="red">I think the '69 is a better choice. The '70 weighs more and had a nudge down in compression. </font>
4. Mopar: '67-'70 B Body with a hemi <font color="red"> Why not a '71? </font>
5. Ford: '67 Fairlane with 427 or '64 Thunderbolt<font color="red"> The latter is a race car. And if a Fairlane, why not a '66? More special. </font>
6. Chevy: '70 LS6 Chevelle <font color="red"> Yeah, sure, that's the obvious one, but why not a COPO 427 car? </font>

Ok, did a little homework on the Cougar - GTE could be had with a 427 or 428 depending on when it was built. I'm still going with the 427, however.

Concur on the '69 GTO. I think it's a better looking car, too. Both of my Judges are RAIII, but I could slide a RAIV in either one. Heads aren't that difficult to find, but blocks are.

T-bolt is probably in a different category than the rest of the field, but have always wanted one. However, if I'm limited to 1 F'lane, it would be a '66 or a '67 with a 427.

A '69 COPO would be mighty fine, but hard to pass up an LS-6. Would also like to build one with a stock LS-7, just to see what it would have been like if Chevy had it as an option in '70.

I've got a '71 GTX with a 440, 4 sp, Dana, front and rear spoilers, black with a black gut. Pretty nice car as far as '71 B bodies go, and I think I could find a correct '71 hemi to drop in it, but I prefer 67s or a 68-69.
