Mine would be a 1954 MGTC, also British Racing Green, what else?

Had a '61 Triumph Spitfire and later a '69 MGB, love them 2 seaters and an engine you could actually work on!!

YeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaa!![]()
I was running pretty much the same specs ImStein!
You got yours up to 140 and she has 150 on the speedometer running stock! And God help you if you beefed her up!
It couldn't be a '67 or a '69 either! To me 1968 was the best year for the Charger hands down!
My old girl was Burgundy with a Black vinyl top, I named her Cha-Cha! I blew her up while kickin' the hell out of a Pantera!
Steve, you know your stuff brother! That was the exact statistical differential!

Just like the one I had when I was 19 years old. 1967 chevelle SS 396. Paid $750 for it in 1972. They go for about 35 Grand now!

A funny yet true story about my 1968 Charger:
My Aunt and Uncle were picking my Grandmother up to go to a church event. But when they arrived, my Uncle caught a flat on his Mercury Monarch.
Time was short so the folks asked me to borrow my ’68 Charger. Of course I told them don’t forget to put gas in her and tossed them the keys.
I looked out the window at these old fogies getting in my precious race car and was thinking how totally ridiculous they looked.
Next I heard the engine start up because it shook the entire neighborhood and then my tires screeching down the street and around the corner.
My folks got back about 4 hours later so I asked my Uncle, didn’t you scare the hell out of Mom’s when you took off burning rubber like that?
My Uncle just laughed, flashed me a quick grin and said, Curtis that was your Grandmother driving!

My Grandmother had a '72 "Heavy Chevy" with the TJ400. She could make it MOVE and had no problems doing it. ![]()

I think I just bought mine. Last Thursday I went out and bought 09 G8 GT with the 6.0 liter 361 HP LS6 V8. It has 82 miles on it. Here's a quick shot of it.

I feel you on that one Steve!
My Grandmother's last moving violation was for Drag Racing in her '65 Mustang!
I asked her did she win, she said, I kicked his ass!

Golly those rims look like crap. Why can't they put decent rims on cars like this. For the price, you'd think they could throw that in. Nice ride Monty. Got a little scoot in there huh?

I have two dreamcars:
The realistic dream
Volvo 144 GL 1974.
I had one once. Best car I've ever had the pleasure of owning/driving.
(This is a pic of it)

The UNrealistic dream...
Volvo E1800 Estate

20 grand (at least) for one in a fairly good state.....
I'd buy one without blinking, IF I had the money!!

Pound for pound one of the best cars that money can buy Snowman!
A 25 year life expectancy on Swedish roads, translates to a car for the rest of your life on US highways.
So not only are you realistic, you're also totally practical about great engineering and safety.

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, I have my dream cars. My 72 Buick GS that I bought new in highschool and my 85 GMC pickup that the wife bought me when we were married.
Funny, I hardly ever drive them these days. Since I have a company car, they mostly stay covered and out of the weather.
CP...that Probe looks like an updated AMC Pacer to me.
ALMonty...love the G8...the 6.0 liter kicks ass. Turn off the traction control and put it in sport shift and it will scream.

That's a gorgeous G-Ride CarGuy!
Here's a shot of the back end, just to show you that it isn't!
That's wheel skirts, gull wing doors and a bubble canopy. It was an '85 concept and I wanted one real bad back then.
Meantime, I am enjoyin' the ride of my new Fusion that was spawned from this design.

Oh, yes, only a 68. Though body styles were the same, the running and tail lights made the difference in her. I used to love standing outside the garage and watch her back out. There was so much torque in her that the ass end would shake as she backed out. Now I know why guys like watching women walk.
Mine was a baby blue with the dark blue Mopar stripe on the front and rear, and black top. SWEET!!!!!!! Did yours have the underdash secondary start button on it? So that you had to turn the key to start, then push the button to ignite? Mine did.

The rims look better in person then the picture.
I already did that. I don't want to do it too often til the engine breaks in.
