Re: top 10 cars
In no particular order...just a sampling
Dan and RJ Gottlieb's infamous '69 Camaro AKA "Big Red"..the true progenitor of the whole Pro Touring scene(although 99.9% of the copycats could never do what that car has accomplished)
The Dobbertin J2000.....the epitome of over-the-top excess.
the '49 Mercury.....the definition of what constitutes a lead sled.
The '57 Chevrolet....if I have to explain this one, you probably shouldn't be reading this.
The '32 Ford.....the original hot rod. Bonus points for a hot flattie between the rails.Comment

Yup, forest green.Originally posted by tiresmoke!
My grandpa worked for Olds, he knew the guys in engineering, I know some of them,
most have died. He had a 67 Cutlass, they installed a 400, which had multiple carbs(all I know).
It also had some kind of electronic control of the TH400, 10" steelies on the back(with dog dish caps),
it was white. I've never found a stitch of evidence of this car on the internet.
It was traded to Story Olds for a 77 Cutlass Supreme, who's body shop manager,
named Larry bought that car as soon as the paperwork ink had dried.
He then rolled it 10 times going down I-27 north back in 77, totally destroying it.
I have tons of Olds freinds and a few connections.Comment

Re: top 10 cars
My dad's V-8 vega with the 215 alum buick motor in it and his 37 Chev coupe that he drag raced at Lyons. Those influence me to this day; the others - are quite nice - but are always eclipsed by someone else

Re: top 10 cars
Stan Shaw had the car that Tony Christian made famous built, but Christian made it run.
Scott Sullivan's Nova is high up there for me. 30 years old and it still looks current. THAT's classic!
