You're going to need some quality scuba gear, and rust neutralizer to make the Chrysler Norseman a reality.

I've read that the last time the remains were seen by a wreck diver on the Andrea Doria, there was little left recognizable but four whitewall tires. Replica builder Marty Martino had started building a recreation of the car, but Eshaver (who knows him) mentioned here recently that the project has been stalled for a few years now.

    Street, the '63 (my first Car) and '64 (Parents first New Car) Pontiac Lemans, 60 Chevy Panel Truck (sadly had to sell when I joined the Army) anf '77 Pontiac Sunbird (my first new car).

    Race, Chaparrals 2-2K, yea even the H, Porsche 917 series sans the long tails and /20.

    Good for both (and the most fun you can have in a Car Alone) The Lotus/Caterham 7.

The amazing thing is that I listed American Muscle Cars but drive and have driven Hyundai's and Kia's the last 15+ years. Last American car I owned were a 1990 Chevy Cavalier and my wife had a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. Current ride is a 2015 Kia Optima and the wife a 2015 Kia Sportsge SUV. Will probably never own a Musclecar so have to resort to 1/25 versions.

Hey all

Good morning. Was curious what your favorite cars of all time are. Can be just one or could be a number of different ones. Mine are as follows:

1970 Buick GS/GS455 Stage 1

1968-1970.5 Camaro

1959 Impala 2 door (my Mom had one)

1968-1970 Roadrunner/GTX/70 Superbird

1970-1971 Cuda

1969 Super Bee

1967-1970 Mustang/Cougar

1970 Torino GT/Cobra/Cyclone (Cyclone Spoiler)

1968-1970 AMX

I have listed some such as Cougar, Cyclone due to fact that they were in my mind more or less the same.

Thanks for looking 

Jerry

I forgot the early Duster/Demon's as well as the Dart's from 1968-72. Nova's 1966-74 were nice also (include the 72-74 Pontiac Ventura here as well)
