About the only one I desire that I haven't already owned would be a 69 Z-28. I've had a 70 LS-6 Chevelle, 66 L-79 Nova and a Cobra as well as several other very fast cars but they wouldn't be considered "muscle cars". For example, a 56 Chev. 2 dr. post with a 454 4 spd, 64 Nova with a LT-1 4 spd etc. I wish I still had some of them but I probably wouldn't have a drivers license anymore.

Oops. I didn't know it was a poll and I had to choose only from that list. In that case, none of the above.

In addition to my '66 roadster that I've owned for 38 years, in the mid 80's I had a '70 Buick GS 455 convertible - Red with white top & interior. That car was HOT - and very fast! Had it for 2 years. I'd own that one again for sure!

I have a 71 cutlass that I wound up with in a trade. I'm re-doing it now. I really dig it and probably never would have went out of my way to buy one. 455/auto. Making a 442 w30 look out of it.

I think I would go with a 68 Charger yellow/ Blk and Bkl Vinyl top 4spd Hemi. That should do it for me. When was the last time you said you wanted a Vinyl top? Just hope I could afford the insurance for all these toys.

most mopars need the vinyl top to make the "look" they give
insurance should be cheap for you guys. I am 28 and paying less then 200 bucks a year for my Chevelle
