One is like cheatn

, try to keep it at two choices each. Seems the poll function doesn't allow for limited selections, unless it's one.

I left off Cheetah and Cobra, seems they'd fall under another class.

Balance of pics

67C10Step · 05-24-2024, 07:38 PM

If that mopar had been a 440 barracuda it would have gotten my vote. As it was, I went with the Pontiac as that is my favorite version of the trans am.

LS short box · 05-24-2024, 08:40 PM

Built this one a number of years ago.
455/400 turbo combo.
First car I mini tubbed.

**Boog** · 05-24-2024, 08:44 PM

Exactly! That Trans Am was the first one I drove and fell in love with. There were 2 blue with white stripe cars in the county and one of my buds owned one of them.

**HO455** · 05-24-2024, 09:48 PM

With the Trans Am I had to include a 73 Formula HO455.
Or a 69 GTO.
Or a nice little Alfa race car.
Or my buddy Robert's Challenger.

So many choices so little cash!

**Getter-Done** · 05-24-2024, 09:57 PM

63 Split window

End of subject. Not really

57taskforce · 05-24-2024, 10:14 PM

Damn those split window vettes are both bad ass, but that red one is perfect.

**68bowtie** · 05-24-2024, 10:57 PM

I like that red one in the second pic. But I don’t see any trucks. So I’ll spectate…

**CAMAROBOY68SS** · 05-25-2024, 12:11 AM

I'm a sucker for a tri five, since we have a 55 and a 56 in the garage currently and then a sucker for a first gen since my first car was a 68 Camaro, still own it too. Yenko was always the dream car for sure.

farmall · 05-25-2024, 01:46 AM

That red one looks like a drawing.

Other?

**raggedjim** · 05-25-2024, 10:13 AM

Had to go with the TA.

Nice cars man.

Poll showing no love for the Mustang

Ha ha, Ford. Just kidding, Ford made great looking bodies. I had a 69 Torino GT. No rust. Paid $700, sold it for $450, but that was a LONG time ago. I'm surprised how much TA are appreciated. My favorite car overall, but I had to run with the split window, and can't deny a Yenko Camaro.

LS short box · 05-25-2024, 04:27 PM

I'd love to build a 69-70 Mustang but rusty nasty stuff brings silly money.

**NGN** · 05-27-2024, 08:16 PM

Them Trans Am are looking good.
I'd take a 67 Z28 with the four wheel disc, might be difficult though if I recall only like 7 were made. I really would like to have 67 RS SS Camaro one day.

Looks like a nice one for 95Kish. Seems a little cheap for a convertible 396, buyer beware.

Back in the mid-80's, I was car shopping, and I needed to get something rapidly. The seller I ended up buying from had two cars for sale, the 55 Chevy post car, which was turn-key, or a 63 Split, but it was in primer, with no glass of weatherstrips (though he had them OEM in the bags/boxes).

The Belair was $5k, the Corvette $16k. In retrospect, I should have bought both.

**desert-rat** · Yesterday, 11:37 PM

I chose other. Maybe because I grew up in the 80s around late model G-bodies, I would've went went the '87 GNX. Please don't hate

4 wheel disc was never offered in 67 either as a option or as a over the counter kit. 68 was the first year they started offering a kit over the parts counter, then in 69 it was offered a short time as RPO JL8, but limited cars as it was pulled early.

Some 67s could have been converted with the kit in 68, but the original 602 67 Z/28's had drum brakes on the rear.

Here is the info on the brake systems on the Camaro from the main restorers group. http://camaros.org/suspen.shtml#Brakes

They dont show it (so a red flag) but 67 Camaro's trim tag are really helpful as they do list all options and engine. That would be the first thing to look at on a car like that to verify it is a big block with all the options that car has on it.
