I’ll take the Bronco. Hubby has his eye on the Jag… in fact, I think that IS his old Jag that he sold a few recessions ago… He wants it back, along with the rest of the joy and optimism and ambition this country used to have!

Second cousin to the Charger. Fastest car I ever drove was a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda (trans am maybe?).
340 cubic inches with 3 two barrel carburetors and a Hurst shifter. Lime green with black strobe stripes.
140 mph. I’m lucky teenage PHenry didn’t get killed.
7
Either the Jag or Vette.
1
Is that a 70 Charger? if so yes
3
Nice but I’ll take a ’68 Cougar XR 7
1
Got to go with the Jag. Wish I still had mine.
5
I’ll take the El Camino.
10
Not too sure about the one on the bottom. I feel like some mafia guys would take me out if I got in it.
I like the green business. 2nd row, right. Whatever that one is.
Charger or Cuda… coin flip.
7
XKE. And a ride-along mechanic.
4
The 60 El Camino or the Lincoln convertible which probably gets around 8mpg if the original engine is still in it.
1
El Camino
1
Why isn’t their a Prius to choose?
Put me down for one of each please.
What can I say? I like to collect things.

At around 16, a neighbor let me drive his 1962 Jaguar XKE. Fun,
When the 1970 – 1974 Dodge Challenger came out, I really want one but didn’t want to spend around $4000 for one. I’ve since seen 426 Hemi versions go for $500,000 at Barrett-Jackson. Of course that’s for a mint condition numbers matching car with almost no miles. If I’d have gotten one as a 25 year old USAF Captain, it would have been driven hard.

I’ll go for free access to Jay Leon’s garage if he buys the gasoline.
In 1958, the whole family was in it and the rear axel broke going around a corner. But the body was made out of THICK steel! And it got about 11 mpg. But fun to ride in.
1
Shaguar baby!
1
Buick Grand National?
1
Alwayz bet on black.
Corvette
Leno’s, not Leon’s garage – damn spellcheck.
1
Charger RT 426 hemi 4 on the floor with posi.
Where’s the ’71 Challenger?
Vanishing Point
1
I’ll drive the El C.
From the choices, the Continental.
Of anything, about 40 years ago I saw a yellow 1948 Pontiac convertible that looked cool.
I would love to drive about. 1948 Lincoln with a straight 12 or 16. From what I have read they were smooth as silk.
71 Cuda…. yeah!
Charger 426 … bad mister!
or the Mustang … not sure it’s a Shelby … if so, been repainted & never saw one w/ a square back (could be a bolt-in convertible top … t-birds had those @ that time)
Since no one else is, I’ll take the Starsky and Hutch-mobile.
I had a ’66 GTO when I was nineteen. It got 8 mpg, but it was a real rocket sled. Wish I had that one back.
Do my eyes deceive me or is that an 82-85ish Ford Fairmont station wagon on the bottom right? It might not have been the fastest but it could do some decent burnouts… and there was room for so much more fun on the inside when it was parked down some secluded country road…
70 Cuda 440 Six Pack. Capable of producing MUCH more HP than a Hemi. The 426 Hemi had it’s fair share of problems’ Starting with it’s girdle style main caps.
2
…I pick my ’73 secondhand Cutlass Supreme 350 4bbl dual exhaust, Keystone rims with fat 60s on the back. I got the thing beat up by its previous owner and put my own dents in it, but it was the proverbial ugly chick who’s good in the sack when it came time to put the hammer down…
2
I’ll stick with Hitler’s Beetle. 1600cc.
2
Lincoln Continental – suicide doors and rag top – yum!
Possibly the largest back seat of the bunch, ahem ….
1
^^^^^ Dude, why do I think you drive a VW Thing? LOL
2
Bronco Bucko!
1
gotta luv this post … we all got our love of the ‘great American car’ from those classic cars
we all got a chubby from a ’36 Ford w/ a rumble seat, or a ’49 merc, a ’55 or ’57 Chevy Bel-Air, a ’59 ‘vette, a ’67 moon roof t-bird, ’65 mustang, ’69 chevy camaro or nova, ’69 GTO or Charger? … & on & on
remember the ‘Judge’, the ‘Bee’, the ‘Super Bee’, the ‘Cuda, the ‘Cobra’?
now, we have the electric ‘viper’ that needs total recharging every 250 miles … ah, progress
1
just had a brain fart … I’m imagining the Daytona 500 or the Indy 500 w/ electric cars …
the pit stops would make grand television … “oh, look at that, Pierre Goosetrantard had an incredible pit stop at 29:33 minutes of recharging … a new record! what amazing crew work!”
The XKE, even Enzo Ferrari said it was the most beautiful car ever made
I bought that gold charger long ago in 1970. Loved that car!
Bronco for fun.
‘Stang for cool.
The 69 Charger, of course. A work of art with the 440 three deuce setup. When I was in high school and had a DL, my dad had a white 71 Torino with a 351 Windsor like Starsky and Hutch . It was a pathetic and gutless rag that wallowed around corners and could not get out of its own way. That TV car was all made up Hollywood BS by people who knew nothing about cars, or maybe Ford paid them off.
The station wagon.

Nah. Quick change battery swaps like the wheels.
They’ve already envisioned this for the civilian market.
57 Belair, 48 Buick, 32 Ford…sorry, none of these quite fit.
as a teen in high school, i bought a 58 Chevy Impala (i know, ugly car) with a factory installed 348 and factory three two barrels for $300. it ran but wouldn’t go due to a badly slipping clutch. turned out the guy put the wrong clutch disk in. i replaced that and yowza. I added a 4- speed. i never lost a street race to a 396. ruined all there hopes and dreams. sold it for $75 when i joined the USMC in 1967. guess i was stupid then, too.
The Mustang.. or teh Bronco. Yeah.
Or….
The Charger top left!!!
The charger.
Never had a Vet so it’s the Corvette!
Mustang (Shelby?)
The Barracuda. Always wanted one.
I’ll take the Bronco. Hubby has his eye on the Jag… in fact, I think that IS his old Jag that he sold a few recessions ago… He wants it back, along with the rest of the joy and optimism and ambition this country used to have!
