Too many to chose from. My head might explode. Any 4spd big block 68-72 C3 vert will do. That body style really turns my crank.

Well since we're in fantasy land I'm going to go with another sports car. I hate to use the F word here on the forum but that new Ford GT is pretty awesome. I've always loved the original GT40 but I think the new version would make a better daily driver!

The majority of cars I've owned have been American muscle. I've always liked the 89 Aston Martin vantage/volante. Refined, 400hp, and killer body lines. I know it's foreign, but those front ends look tough. Maybe one day

If so, the second car would have to be a beater pickup truck.
I ain't taking the 'Vette or a new Ford GT(40, not Mustang) on runs to Home Depot.

It would have to be a 69 Yenko Nova. L72 427 corvette motor. Zero to 60 in about 4 seconds. Quarter mile under 11 seconds. Only 30 made. Its performance is best summed up by Don Yenko's own statement: “a beast, almost lethal, a car that they should not have produced; as they were skirting the edge of product liability when they built this car”.
Damn, now I better pinch myself and wake up !!!
