LOL...:6gears:

[69496]

Musclecar John please adopt me. You have got 3 of chevys finest examples from the muscle car era. I have loved the 2nd gen camaros forever, they have really taken off in popularity. 10 years ago I had the chance to buy a matching # 70 1/2 Z28 for only 3K. In great shape no less. That is another topic though. I vote Johns 3 cars too.

[Yelcamino]

I like to think I'm living it too.

[musclecarjohn]

MusclecarJohn please adopt me...

I'll run it by the wife and get back to you...

1963 Corvette coupe 427 red
1970 Boss w/ grabber blue and black stripes

[jerrys85iroc]

I of course love all cars and you guys are coming up with a bunch i would add to my list and MuscleCarJohn...very nice cars...:twothumbs

[Happyfunballs]

1955 Mercedes 300SL
First Gen Camaro
32 Ford coupe

[Scott Parkhurst]

'65 GTO

'57 Vette

'40 Willys

...there are SO many more (Daytona Coupe, 914/6, Monza Mirage, Ferrari GTO, chopped Mercs, '53 Skylark, '68 Shelby, '63 Split Window....) but these are probably the top three right now, today...before noon. The problem is that once some of these cars are modifed to suit my personal tastes, they would probably rise up the list. I'd love to drop an LS1 into the Monza Mirage or in the back of the 914, and that'd make them what I really want.

[69TAPoser]

'65 Shelby Cobra 427
'65 Shelby Daytona Coupe (1 of 8)
'65-'67 GT40

...and I don't think of myself as a Ford fan, so a few more:

'69 Trans AM
'63 Corvette Grand Sport

Phil

[jackfrost]

geez... just three? i'm a huge fan of the street-legal race-ready production cars...

911 GT3 RS, Ferrari 360 Challenge, F355 Challenge, Ultima GTR, Viper ACR, etc, etc. I'd love to get a C5R and make it street legal.

muscle cars: 71 Hemi Cuda, 70 Charger, 69 AMX, 70 Olds W30 convertible, 89 Porsche 959, Cobra 427, 69 Corvette 427, Pantera, 70 Boss...

I don't know how to pick only three!

[Samckitt]

55 Chevy
69 Camaro
80's Monte Carlo SS (not necessarily the aerocoupe style)

The last year for the 427 was '67, you could only get a 396 or 454 in a '69.. Now you could always drop a 427 in it.. :D

[jking1118]

Wow. Only 3 is REALLY hard. If someone handed me the check book and said go buy any 3 street cars:

1. 67 Tahoe Turquoise Nickey Camaro RS/SS (or I would buy back my old 67 RS/SS 396 4 spd - Tahoe Turquoise of course)
2. 96 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe - Gotta be blue w/white stripes
3. Can't choose between a mid 80's Lambourghini Countach or a 1971 Cuda w/pistol grip 4 speed - don't even care what motor it has.

Others I love that were close runners up:

96 Impala SS - Green
93 Chevy 454 SS
GMC Typhoon
67 Vette
BMW 850 csi
93 Mustang Cobra

These are ones that I would want to own. There are COUNTLESS more cars that I just love and appreciate - Chevelles, GTOs, Cutlasses, Corvettes, K5 blazers, mostly American muscle and some German sports cars and sports sedans (the new 450ish hp Mercedes is just sick!!!!)

[LateNight72]

The last year for the 427 was '67, you could only get a 396 or 454 in a '69.. Now you could always drop a 427 in it.. :D
1969 was the last year for the 427 (COPO). The 454 (LS5 & LS6) came in 1970.

[68byrd]

1. 1970 Challenger (hemi w/ a 4sp of course)
2. 2009 BMW M3 coupe (6spd of course)
3. My 68 byrd with a 100k cash in the trunk (can I do that?)

[absintheisfun]

New(er) or modern
1. McLaren F1 LM
2. Lamborghini Reventon
3. Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

Classic (older) awesome rides
1. GMC Typhoon
2. 67 Camaro
3. tie* 70 1/2 Z28 or 70 LS6 454 Chevelle

[PT Sportwagon]

OK, mine are:

1971 Buick GS stage 1 Convertible triple black ( a friend has it)
1970 GSX stage 1 either yellow or White I anit picky
1966 4 door hemi car, an ultimate sleeper.

[dadto2jays]

My three favs as far as old buckets

* 66 nova
* 70 Chevelle SS
* 70 Camaro RS/SS Z28

And my three favs as far as newer buckets

*Porsche GT3
*Lamborguini Gallardo
* Ferrari Enzo

[406 Q-ship]

The last year for the 427 was '67, you could only get a 396 or 454 in a '69.. Now you could always drop a 427 in it.. :D

No 427 in Chevelles any year except the rare 69 COPO 427 Chevelles. COPOs are not actual SS cars so there is no such thing as a 427 SS Chevelle or Camaro.

My list:

1. 1970 SS454 Chevelle LS-6 or 1970 GS455 Stage 1 w/4spd
2. 1970 440 Road Runner
3. 1968 Mustang GT 428 CJ

[O'Neall]

Great thread! And tough to decide because it depends on how you want to look at it. Modern supercars like Ferraris & Lambos, or classic musclecars? Stock or modified? Who knows... up to each of our subjective whims I guess. Me, I'll just pick the production 3 cars I like best as they came from the factory because these 3 would also be the same three I'd like best if they were pro-toured too.

1) 1977 Trans Am
2) 1973 Trans Am
3) 1974 Trans Am

Okay, obviously I'm a T/A nut, so if restrict myself to just one T/A in the list it would fall out more like this!

1) 1977 Trans Am
2) 1996 Viper GTS
3) 1964 GTO

Honorable mention goes to 70 GTO Judge and 70 Cuda/Challenger (and all the rest of the gen2 T/As from 70-81) :)

[a62belair]

70 1/2 Z-28
T/A (or HEMI) Cuda or Challenger
Thunderbolt
:1st:
69 Trans-Am a close fourth!!!!!

[muthstryker]

1. 1967 GTO
2. 1970 Chevelle SS
3. 1968 Camaro SS

[ProTouring442]
