Car From The Year You Were Born
 

If you could own one car from the year that you were born what would it be?


For me it would have to be the 1970 CHEVELLE SS 454 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Probably in Cortez Silver https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I think it would have to be a 70 Ls6 convertible chevelle or a 70 ZR1 corvette, maybe even a 70 L78 camaro depending on what I could afford.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

1966 LeMans Winning GT40

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

I guess it would either be a 1961 Corvette or a 1961 Impala SS Bubbletop with the 409 4-speed.

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

------1ST choice; 1948 Jeepster. 2ND choice; Buick Roadmaster drop-top, or maybe reverse those two!!! Like some others on here you dont leave me with a whole lot of choices.........Bill S

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

I don't know that there's anything from 1951 that I'd want https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Talk about limited choices....Rita (Mrs. Billy Bobcat) would have to get something like Henry Ford's Quadricycle or a horse and buggy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

You're treading in dangerous waters Bill. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

I can't make a choice. They didn't build cars the year I was born!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Guess I'll just stick with what I have. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

But here's something to think about: How would you like to be the original owner of a car that was built BEFORE you were born? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
There was a dealership just South of us that previously sold Studebakers, and eventually Buicks. On the back lot of that delership sat a half dozen or so '63 Stude's that had never been sold/titled. One of the members here (Amuseme) often talked about buying one just to say he was "The Original Owner of a Car Built Before I was Born!"
Later, that same dealer also had some "leftover" Boat tail Riviera's under similar circumstances. Very unusual!

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

'61 Canadian Pontiac Strato-Chief 2 Door Post w/ factory Chevy 409 4 Spd. .

The Canadian Ponchos had Chevy chassis/drivetrain so w/ a bit o' wangling could've been built w/ any available Chevy combo. .
Although possible mid year, I don't think any were built but this has always been the one for me w/ it's Chevy Biscayne brother in second place. .
Either would be the Fleetmaster-Utility version w/ 'everything delete'....dog-dish caps of course!

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

Bill, I'd have to agree with you. Due to the Korean conflict, there weren't too many cool cars that year.
Here's my choice:

Nothing like a drop-top Caddy.

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

I'll have a black '58 Vette thank you very much.

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

Hey TJ,
I have your car, except for the glasspacks and wheels..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

As for the year I was born.......................................... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

I'd take a 58' Chrysler letter car with the last of the 392 hemis in it, otherwise, I'm taking a 58 Vette.

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

Speaking of the year that you were born...Happy Birthday Steve! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

I guess it'd have to be a '67 Yenko Camaro for me https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Second would be a '67 L88 'vette.

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

1967 was a great year. Must explain why I am a Camaro fanatic. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Make my choice a 1967 SS/RS L78 4 speed in all black.

ED... I was trying to think of a good 72 car...other than a 72 ZR1 Corvette with J56 brakes, radio delete, M22, 4.56 gears, side exhaust, TI ignition. Nothin but GO FAST Goodies!
