Was wondering how long it would take Mokoa to chime in.... but seriously, 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with the "Elephant" 440 Hemi. Traffic court here I come!

It could well be but it is tough (for me) from the profile shot (who took the pic Meeshee/S. Church?

). Either way that one does look in great shape.

So Mokoa, I see a pattern between your posted pics (Fire Chicken, Road Runner, Charger, Cobra) and your avatar.

Snortin' V8s!!

I am with you..I think certain cars are only a status symbol to say "LOOK AT ME"....I have playmate in NY and he drives a 4 door Mercedes brand new..I told him he was more the Beamer type..He just laughed and said no one has told me that before...LOL...I personally would stick with a nice SUV or Honda or Nissian....

Four door BMW, MB, or Lexus sedans are plenty fine for me. Hell, I'd even drive a Honda and make do.

For me the only Ferrari that ever did it was the 456. Maybe the 275 GTS, but I've actually got an old Fiat 124 Spider rotting in the garage between rally weekends so I'm partial to the Pininfarina drop top - I realize it's not for everybody.

Other than that the Ferrari was just too much testosterone. I prefer a little more laid back look. Like a great dress on a woman, you should only get a hint of what's under the hood.

The new Maseratis, especially the Quattroporte, have appeal for me though.

Cheers,
Mazo.

Ferarri - Fiat. Boy talk about opposites.

I do agree on the Maseratis but alas they are afflicted with weight penalties, too.

Looks like my first Porsche, a 1968 912. Found it in ususable condition and restored it while I was in flight school. Then traded it in for a 1977 911S, then later upgraded to a 1984 Cabriolet. The along came the kid and away went the toys. But damn I love that classic 911 body! And I think the first one was the most fun of all.

Thanks for the reminder Ansley!

Agreed. From a pure adrenaline standpoint the best drive I've ever had was racing a car with the Prancing Horse on the side.

Bentley Continental Spur - A powerful luxury four door.

guest111111 · 02-15-2011, 01:08 PM

being a bit of a connoisseur, i am partial to muscle cars... old buicks in particular...

now that being said, you cant beat the old cars.. old bugatti's very nice... packards, pierce arrows, even the hudson hornet was great... you just cant compare yesterdays to todays... the styleing of the old cars, imho, will always blow away new cars with few exceptions.. the Veyron, the new Bentley's,

The aforementioned/pictured (thanks Ansley) Vanquish which is a personal favorite,

and for all you fly boys..
the spyker...

I was thinking it might be a 912.

coast_encounter · 02-15-2011, 05:24 PM

I always liked the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 (This is like the Eleanor model from Gone in 60 Seconds)

oakielover · 02-15-2011, 05:52 PM

I would take a Bentley. One needs to roll in style.

A man after my own heart: A Porsche 911 Carrera S. I’ve wanted one ever since I saw one for the first time as a young girl. Of course then I had no idea there were high or low end 911’s. It didn’t matter; they was beautiful.

Wouldn’t mind having a Chevelle SS. I used to street drag my boyfriends’ restored ’72 when I was in high school. It was a small block; can’t remember the size. Very fond memories.
