I've owned quite a few classic trucks (and 2 bagged trucks but I know that will get me shite here), you'll never get over the feeling you get when you see someone in traffic taking a picture of your truck or a random person at the gas station telling you "nice ride man". It's an amazing feeling to point at something and say yeah I built that.

We posted this at almost the same time. I had a couple of 69 Mach 1s in my younger days. One had a 351 Cleveland and the other a 390. I always wanted a 428. Maybe one day when I grow up.

If you don't want to kill hours of time trying to figure out how to convince your wife to let you buy a classic car, don't go to this website:

I'd love a 69 Mustang Mach 1 with the hood vent or a 70's corvette with the disappearing headlights.

If I had to get a modern muscle car, it'd probably be a new Mustang or a Dodge Challenger.

It all depends on the condition of the car and the amenities. I'd take a classic with a/c and a new stereo system over a brand new whip any day.

Everyone wants a Mustang, Charger, or a Camaro. I guess most are going for looks over the muscle. I don't get it. A 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda or a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 would be my choice.

I drove a 66 mustang as a daily driver, it wasn't too bad. With the windows down it was pretty cool inside in the summer. Now the manual brakes and steering were a bitch, but you got used to it. I had an inline 6 in mine, I always liked the look of the older mustang and didn't worry about the power. That inline 6 was bullet proof, but had 0 hp.

Old. A '69 GTO Judge in competition red was the first car I bought at 15 and been going to Barrett-Jackson every year to find the same car but prices are astronomical. This will do in the meantime:

70 Chevelle 454 is a favorite of mine but those others aren't lacking power.
