I've got all that I want. A 1985 Ford Bronco. a 1972 Dodge Challenger, and a 1967 Dodge Coronet that I have a Charger hideaway headight grill for, and i want to paint 1969 SeaFoam  https://www.google.com/search?q=1969+plymouth+seafoam+blue&rlz=1C1LEND_enUS589&es_sm=93&biw=1920&bih=1099&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=U5RLVYr3DILHogSjgYGwCA&ved=0CB0QsAQ

What else could a guy ask for? lol. I even have metal fender skirts for the Coronet. How cool is THAT? lol. pimpin' ,lol. (no curb feelers, though)

Got it all covered, a Purple hot rod, a turquios (someday) cruiser, and a cool 4 wheeler. Plus a couple of 1970's Honda ATC90's. With the balloon tires. Green. And an old Ford Bronco. Early style.

Really, why would one want anything else?

ok, i might want a hellcat - but that ain't gonna happen, lol. I'm happy with what I've got.

Mopar cars and Ford trucks, lol. Life is good.

Are you going to put air bags on your Coronet?

uh, no, lol. just be a cruiser. Not a TOTAL pimp-mobile.  Can put 8 people in the trunk (maybe 12 midgets?) for the drive in movie thing, though. If I can only find a drive in movie, lol.

I'm a big mopar fan. That being said, my dream car is a Shelby Daytona. I don't really like the way the back end looks on them, but the rest of the car is beautiful enough I can easily overlook that, plus the only people that have to see it will be behind me  :bigsmile: .

Well I am in the process of moving to a new place with a lot more space in the garage and outside too. So to fill that space I would love to have ...

1. A Hemi E-body (honestly, who doesn't want one?). Sassy-Grass-Green would be great thank you!


2. A blown 40-41 Wilys coupe. To me nothing says hotrod like a blown Wilys coupe - and this one has a Hemi!


3. C-C member "Oldschool's" (Ken) The Beast. Love The Beast but Ken will never give it up ...


Oh, it has to be realistically attainable? Well then, since I just sunk a large part of my cash into the new place I have to scale back the dream ...

4. A '64 Sport Fury or Belvedere with a 426 Wedge (maybe a 383?) and a 4-speed.


or maybe just settle for ...

5. A '67 Barracuda Formula S fastback with an 273 4-barrel (E-code) and a console shifted automatic in Turbine-Bronze with a black interior.

(I know it's a '68 ... couldn't find a pic of a '67 in Turbine Bronze)

How's that?

You're correct but here's my dilemma (I know tough problem to have)

I've already priced the Hemi I want $14-$16k
Shaker Hood set up $4k
4 speed (would want the 5 or 6 speed) again $4-$6k
Dana another $3k

Now if I'm going to completely rebuild the drive train and add the shaker it's going to need a paint job to really complete it. $6-$10k

I'm thinking of a 540 stroker big block Nick at Compu-Flow has a great combo he swears I'm going to love , keep the auto for now , keep the 8-3/4 at least until I grenade it , and start getting the pieces for the shaker hood. For around $10k I'll have a 600+ horsepower big block that is simply a bolt in and go (really fast)

Yes I hear you. However you have (in my opinion) one of the best looking cars ever made. The Shaker hood, trans and Dana 60 will come anyway. So the cost is the same. 10k for a stroker... Not bad. 15k for a Hemi, more money, yes indeed. But to own a 71 Hemi Cuda, only few can imagine. The auto trans will work for now as well the 8-3/4. You can buy the rest of the parts over time so it's not such a financial shock. I'm in the service business, and it is easy to spend other peoples money, but if 5k is all that separated me from a 71 Hemi Cuda, I would beg, borrow, work overtime etc. to get it. After all the best looking car deserves the most awesome engine ever produced in the USA. Just my opinion.  :2thumbs:

Apart from my Challengers, I'd love to own:

1) '69 Charger R/T
2) Hemi Superbird
3) '59 Vette
4) Hellcat
5) '85 Ferrari 512 TR (childhood dream  :biggrin:)

And of course an underground garage to properly store/maintain all the toys, and keep the nosy folks away!
