Other preferences

[Silver R/T]

I know you guys have Chevies/Fords in your closets. What do you prefer?

[vancamp]

i like certain models of most all of them, however i like more more mopars than any of the others combined, but if mopars werent around i would probaly be into fords and pontiacs.

[Iceyone]

I'm kinda liking the new V-6 Mustang. That may very well be my next car. I've had 3 Pontiacs in a row and ALL have had problems way before they should have. I still like 68-72 Chevelles but will never own anything new from GM again.

I do own a 1930 Chevy 4-door sedan. I'm keeping it stock, motor and all.

[Troy]

I recently sold my Tahoe. I still have my 70 Mach 1. If I had cash in my pocket I'd probably have a newer (and preferably older) Mustang as well. I like the new Camaro too. I'd personally have the new Mustang or Camaro than any current vehicle produced by Chrysler. Not very practical though and I have a garage full of toys already.

If I was to take on another project besides a Mopar....would probably be a late 60s early 70s GTO. I sorta dig old Pontiacs.

[Daytona R/T SE]

Other than my Mopars, I've had several Fords, and few Pontiacs I really liked, I wouldn't mind an old Cadillac, Lincoln or Mercury sometime down the road...  The only Chevrolets I've ever really liked were the few I've actually seen on fire...

[squeakfinder]

 On newer vehicles it doesn't matter to me. But I've owned and still own a 70's era fullsize Chevy Blazer and a pickup truck.

[adauto]

Pontiac has always been my 2nd. But I'm open to things .... if the price was right...

[67440chrg]

I have owned more mopars than anything. I have owned some of allbut will never own a foreign car. If I were to have a project car other than mopar it would have to be something not so common. A cobra torino or mid 30 GM product.

[maxwellwedge]

Ford's don't have enough power to pull the skin off of rice pudding. Everyone I have had (both Bosses) or driven has a been a pant-load.

They do look sharp though - just no Wheaties.

The 2 Chevy's I have will give any of my Mopars (my faves by a mile - nothing can replace a Mope) a good run.

[Manfred318]

If I had to pick something besides a MoPar I would probably go with a Pontiac, Olds, or Caddy. Ive always liked those too. If were talking cars any ways. If it were anything else I would go with an International. We have had several Scouts over the years and I would love to have another one in the near future.

[Ghoste]

If I were forced to pick something else it would be a Ford.  There seem to be so many of those stupid things around here that it wouldn't be too hard or overly expensive to find a good Cobra Jet car.  I am a bit of a closet Pontiac fan but it'd be easier and cheaper for me to go Ford.

[Alaskan_TA]

Chicks.

Or airplanes.

Maybe both............

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Im on my second Mustang GT convertible....the only "affordable" drop-top out there with moderate performance & looks IMHO

[BlueSS454]

I have a few 





This is the next rust bucket I'm doing.  It's in the shop apart, just have to cut it apart and weld it back together.

[Cooter]

Yeah, I've had my share of Brand Xer's..
1. Mustang GT 1985
2. 1969 Chevelle SS 396, 4-speed
3. 1982 Z28 Camaro T-top
4. 1970 Ford maverick- - Still have set up for 460/C6 8.8 4.30 gear


If you got the money, you can make 'em all run..

[twodko]

Until I saw the Mopar light in the promised land I've always liked and had good luck with chevys. My GM soft spot is Chevelles, we restored one a few years back to sell so we could buy the Charger. If I could afford another toy its would be a 69 SS 396 4spd of course I'd settle for a 1970 SS454 LS6 (?).

[Brock Samson]

 Right off the top: Discounting Mopars or a '69 GTX in triple Blk?..
  To replace the R/T I'd probably want a '70 SS Monte Carlo,.. or some other GM Personal Luxury, Like a early GS Riviera nailhead or Grand Prix SJ.
Ford didn't really make anything I'd want in the garage with the exception of the Shelby's up to '68, I never liked the '69s up. My Fav. is the '68/9 GT 500.
I'd concider an AMX if it was an early one. After '70 all the Cars were iffy in power and styling..
I'd like a Trans Am perhaps, a '70 would be my Preference.

[Cooter]

I like this one built from a late model mustang...Now THIS is retro!

[Silver R/T]

That is sharp looking car.
Myself I had 99 S10 truck, being 2wd in WA-it had to go. Now I have 95 Cobra. Definitely open to other brand names.

Like this? 

[BIGBLCK11]

If I couldn't have a Mopar, it would be a 66/67 Chevelle or 66/67 GTO.  A 39/40 Willys, if I could afford it!

[Tilar]

Depends.... If you're talking new it would be Ford hands down. If you're talking old muscle, probably a Camaro, Chevelle or GTO.  Any farther than that would be a 55 Tbird or a 49 or 50 Merc.

[chargerboy69]

Old, I would take another Trans Am ( have owned roughly 8 so far). Mid 80's 5.0 Mustang. Cyclone or Talledega. I love the Chevelles from 66-69. 68 Shelby Mustang. And would like to have a 67 Buick Riviera.


New, a new Mustang hands down, and a new F-450. Chevy, the Camaros are sharp, maybe a new Duramax GMC truck.  Chrysler, not so much.  The Challenger is nice, but in my opinion not even close to a newer Mustang. A Pontiac G8, those are sweet.

You don't see Misty Turquois 70's around a whole lot let alone a Misty Turquois Convertible

You know your colors! It is one of those colors guys and gals like. Having said that, it sat at the dealership for a year until it sold.....the times they were a changin fast.

I sold an Astro Blue hard top to get the rag.

[mikesbbody]

There are a lot of Ford and GM Car's I like but, they just do do it for me the same as a Mopar does so I have to say if I couldn't own a Mopar I probably wouldn't be in the old car Hobby (why settle for 2nd best?)

[earthquake68]

Nova, Chevelle, Corvette, Mustang, Torino GT, Fairlane, Challenger, Coronet, Charger, 'Cuda. They all have something cool to offer.

[Road Dog]

My second choice was a 64 Ford Galaxie 500.

[twodko]

Crikeys maxwellwedge! Hard for my old eyes to see the fender emblem but is that the "real Deal" 1970 450-500hp SS454 LS6? You can't touch originals for well over $100k+. That color is unfamiliar to me but its gorgeous. I'm lucky enough to have my "first choice" car but that would be my second. Stunning!!!

[Old Moparz]

One car I've always wanted is a Lincoln ragtop with suicide doors. I'll probably get one one day, but it'll be a driver that I don't have to touch. Second choice would be a '55 Belair. Nothing really selected by brand, more by the model if it isn't a Mopar.

Yes - The rag and the hardtop (that was a partial trade on the rag) are LS6 4-speeds.

[TruckDriver]

First time I looked at this post. But I like a little of everything made by the big three. I grew up with Chevy's & Ford's. My only real exception, is I prefer Dodge pickups over anything else. In fact, other then 2 Chevy s10 Blazers (1 was a freebee), I only ever owned Dodge and one Plymouth Trucks.

[rp23g7]

If i couldnt have a mopar, hmmmm. 

There are not a whole lot of Chevy cars, other than the Shoebox's that i would really want, maybe a 70 Chevelle, or a Monte Carlo,  give me a Olds or a Pontiac though, Cutlass, GTO, LeMans, Trans Am, I would love a full size 60's or 70's Pontiac, Ford too, Torino and Gran Torino's, Galaxies, late 60's early 70's Thunderbirds, Mustang, not so much, maybe a 68 Fastback, 71-73 Fastback.

Me and Chevys just dont get along, my sons Monte Carlo hates me.

[chargd72]

I would love to own a '69 GTO or a '71 Olds 442.   

[twodko]

maxwellwedge you're killing me!!! Beautiful cars bro, good for you! I've never ridden in 70 SS454 LS6 much less drive one. I'm sure it'd be a ride to remember. Merry HoHo Alka-Seltzer!

[Tilar]

My second choice was a 64 Ford Galaxie 500.

I love those old cars. I bought one back around 73 or 74. Paid $60 for it and took it the next day and put a $70 exhaust system under it. The car had been sitting for a few years but we put a battery in it and once it got fuel it started right up. Had a ton of fun in that one.

[learical1]

Spoiler II or Talladega would be my first choice.  But I'd really like a SC/Rambler, AMX or Javelin.  Maybe a rebel machine.  (I guess those are sorta mopar now.)  S3 malibu shovel nose, bubble back Grand Prix or Monte Carlo.  68-69 Hurst Olds, 70 Buick GSX.  Boss Mustang.  Hell, I ain't that particular if it's not a MoPar.  How about an Avanti?  Old Studebaker a hopped-up Hemi.  I had a Sunbeam Tiger, that was fun when it wasn't overheating. 

[Al]

Second to Mopars I like a 67 Pontiac GTO or maybe a 68 Mustang Fastback

I would love a Rambler Scrambler as well....hard to find a nice one - they were rode hard and put away wet!
