We’ve all got a list. You know, the list of cars, trucks, boats, or motorcycles that we ultimately want to own. It’s the list that would get a lot of check marks on it if I won Powerball. The cool thing about “the list” is that when you sit around bench racing about your list it becomes a great debate or sales job as you try to convince your buddies that what you want really is cool and why. It’s a cool part of hot rodding. My list has tons of normal cool stuff on it, but also a fair amount of “wtf” cars that my buddies shake their heads at. One of the ones on my list that most people wouldn’t expect is a ’63 or’64 Impala convertible that is completely setup as a killer lowrider. Not a hot rod, not a restored piece, but a lowrider. In fact, I don’t care about owning a ’63 or ’64 Impala unless it is a lowrider.
Oh, and I also want a Pinto. I’m not telling you why…yet.
What car is on your “list” that nobody would expect?
The ambulance from Mother Juggs and Speed

I would love a 1967 Mercury Cougar GT. Hunter green, tan interior, 390 FE, top loader 4-speed and 3.90 rear gear. Why? Because my cousin bought one new in 1967 and I was only 6. He took me for a ride and I was hooked.
