Dream car wish list

[obijuank5]

Yes but can it hop a coke can?

 

[Babaganoosh]

You know I had to call you on that, that term is as generic as RV cam

You mean 3/4 race cams?

 

[Bent77]

Yeah, those too.
That term actually meant something in the flathead days, who is one of the origins of the “roadster chassis”
It was common to put a T or A body on a 32-34 chassis

I would have all the cars. No seriously, I'd have just about all the collector cars; new and old. The wife and I frequently talk about the size of the car collection we'd have if we were rich.

 

[muddybuddy]

Short list for starters (in no particular order)

Lincoln continental convertible (cruiser)
Ford GT40
Shelby Daytona
DeTomaso Pantera
Ferrari F40
‘67 L88 Corvette
C6Z06 (modern day L88?)

I love all those old muscle cars, but most are too valuable to drive so they'd just sit in my lottery garage.

i'd love a charger, but it'd have to be similar to this one...



Cruiser

My actual dream is my chevelle built like the Hoonicorn but with a full interior. A twin turboed 454 would make the power easily. The AWD drivetrain I ain’t figured out yet. Probably grab a t-case from a Silverado ss and bolt it up behind a 4l80e. Diff and half shafts from a 3/4 ton. Hubs would need to be custom.

My 1954 Studebaker with 429 Cadillac and B&M hydro.

 

[tRustyK5]

Graft a 2500 front half of the frame to the Chevelle frame. Seen a Silverado pick-up running 1600 hp through that set-up using stock everything up front. Did occasionally break a front shaft, but not often.

 

[tRustyK5]

Oh, and add that Silverado to my list...lol

My before marriage days. It started life with a 331 cad ,eight inch over bored to 354ci, duel quad and B&M hydro. It ended up the 429 when i was racing at Carlsbad Raceway in the 70's. Replaced with a 55 Thunderbird with 312 and 4 speed. Then divorce came and it was replaced with a 68 Jeep.

You beat me to it.

And a semi with full crew.

And I would drive this to the races.

You are speaking my language.

As far as the awd, think Astro van….

 

[centexk5]

I figure worst case I’ll build the twin turboed 454 and throw some manual transmission in it with some ridiculous 355 tire out back and have a raging angry burn out machine.
