1970 Chevelle SS. My dad owns one exactly like this one. True SS. It will be mine one day.

He also has a 1968 Firebird that looks very similar to this except ours has a blower motor in it that has about 1000hp. He used to drag race it. I will own this car one day as well.

Now onto my personal favorite. 1967 Mustang Fastback. This car is just beautiful. I will own one in the future.

Finally, my dream vehicle to just drive around in would be a lifted Chevy Silverado 2500hd. Pretty much identical to this.

That poor car has been severely molested. Stoopid movie remake Mustang with 100 pounds of plastic crap added to the front. Steven McQueen's 68 "Bullet" sportsback looks so much better.

I bought this 69 sportsback when I got out of the Army in 78 and drove it for a couple years. Beautiful car, drove nice. It's one of the few that I wished I had again.

Any of those would be fine by me, but not as daily drivers. For that, I'll take a current BMW 328i M Sport.

(I don't really dream all that big. I could probably end up owning any of those except for the Hemi 'Cuda. Too much in demand!)

McQueen's car was cool, but it wasn't nearly as cool as the bad-boy vicious '68 Charger R/T:

Yup to both.

I'll add the GT500CR which is a repro instead of a resto so they're basically brand new cars.

Yeah I'm going to go ahead and agree with the other guy, I hate all the Mustangs with the urethane and fiberglass Gone in 60 Seconds treatment. Takes away from the look and feel those cars should have, the look and feel that makes them what they are IMO.

The GT500cr isn't the tacky fiberglass & LED thing from that movie. It's cosmetic differences from the original are actually minimal. The scoops, hood, and nose are all Shelby GT500-spec parts. The center lights are positioned like those on the Ford original, but are PIAA foglights, not split high- and low-beam lights. The lower section of the nose is cut from a GT350. Departures from the original are minimal and I think it's a tasteful.

I definitely don't want the 20" rims and rubber band tires that some folks seem to like.

I'd say it still looks pretty close to the 60 seconds car despite authentic parts; it still has all the ugly urethane and fiberglass work in a poor attempt to make a classic car look like a new car. Dislike. To each their own, but I'll take a real deal, original GT500 anyway.

I can understand that. I draw the line at LED or 20" rims.

Funny thing is, that if I was going to get an original 68' or '67 stang I'd prefer a basic GT fastback. And as unoriginal as it may seem I'm not ashamed to admit I desire a highland green debadged '68 fastback.

IDK I just like the look of this Mustang so much. It is beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my friend. Everybody has different styles. I happen to love the look of this one. Ever since I saw it for the first time.

That is an absolute beauty. +1, my friend, +1
