My "Five Cars For Life" Choices :

 

- 1970 Duster 340 ( 4 speed , Sure Grip added to the standard 3.23 gear , power steering , a/c , rear defogger , AM radio which would be swapped for an AM-FM from a '69 Barracuda , stripe delete , EB5 Blue with base interior in matching B5 , V02 Two Tone paint = EW1 White Painted Roof . Disc brakes are standard equipment on 340 models in 1970 )

 

 

This Duster below is a friend of mines, I highlighted the options it has that are on your list. It's mostly Original, it was bought and used as a drag car from day 1, Andy is the 3rd owner. and Yes he's currently doing the body.

1) 70 Monte Carlo SS454 is my all time fav. White w/ black vinyl top and rallies

2) 69 Mach 1 Mustang 428 4 spd. A buddy I used to work with had one and could make it do donuts in 3rd gear on dry pavement @60 mph! Had to check my shorts        after that one!

3) 68 Mercury Cylone GT 390 4spd. Heavy SOB but cruised nicely at 110 mph. Had one when I got out of HS

4) 67 Chevelle SS396 4spd. My Dad made me sell this cuz I got too many speeding tkts and lost my DL for 6 mos. Never got beat though!

5) 87 Monte Carlo SS black w/t tops. Got one after my 1st divorce. Had it til I got remarried and had to trade it for a more practical D150 Van. Sure hated to do that but the Monte wasn't much for haulin lumber, just ass!

 

Daily Driver these days is a 2000 Ford E150 van for haulin and a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee for SWMBO's grocery getter

ok here we go

 

1, my 1974 Nova have had it since i was 13 (now 44)

2, the Interceptor from Mad Max  Auusie muscle is so sweet  And this car just exudes BAD AZZ to the core

   plus it is a cop car

3,1971 chevelle ,actually my dad's car will bewith me someday since it is my blood sweat and tears into it .

4  1984 El camino totally modified to chase all you guys with exotics maybe have it done by Hennesy down in Texas

5  this one is hard we will need something to drive daily so an 02 to 09 Crown vic police interceptor or a 2013 ZL1 Camaro

 

 

and besides we didn't say what the better half's got to drive . Mine has an 00 GMC ext cab 4x4 so the towiing is taken care of

My daily is a 1988 Monte Carlo LS w350 Torque Thrust wheels and Flowmaster exhaust. along with the Nova and also the El Camino in the garage (minus drivetrain and front sheetmetal.)

Cool ! Thanks for sharing your story and the accompanying photos !

LOVE that base interior ; those plaid inserts are too cool .

 

Its drag-car-since-day-one history undoubtably saved its carcass from the oxidation monster known as Road Salt !

 

Just out of curiosity ; what's up with that radiator ? Not knocking it , I just thought your friend was going for a restoration :)
