List your favorite cars of all time


Recommended Posts

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

I'd have to put my '69 AMX as one of my all time favorites. I had a 1:1 390 4 spd during the late '80's into the '90's and I miss it dearly. :(

It was a no frills, no options, go fast car! Believe it or not, it still had drum brakes on all fours and no power steering or brakes. The only reason I let it go was I being stationed at Fort Jackson S.C. and couldn't take the car with me. A fellow from upstate PA bought it from me, and that was the last time I saw it.

Others I could include:

1957-58 Plymouth Belvedere/Fury (Dad owned a '57)

1957-58 Studebaker Golden Hawk (family friend had one of those)

1968-69 AMC Javelin (Mom first had a '68, then later a brand new '69 SST)

I could name some others, but those popped into my mind first! :P

For a combination of styling and revolutionary technical aspects and just plain awesomeness, there's never been anything in the era after WWII, in my estimation, like the 1954-57 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing.

There have been plenty of others that are equally as awesome since then, but this is my fave.

I have a lot that I like, but my all-time favorite is the 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda Convertible. As I have gotten older, I would prefer it to have an automatic transmission bolted to either a Hemi or 440.

Wow Jon, one end of the spectrum to the other :)!  Interesting topic, most seem to gravitate towards cars they owned or wished they still had, that emotional connection we gearheads have towards our vehicles.  In that vein, the car I learned to drive in, '64 Grand Prix, and a '65 Dodge van - the kind where you sit over the front wheel and the steering wheel is almost flat in front of you like a bus.  Man I had fun in that thing!
