I wasn't going to post a picture of my truck up here but after seeing a couple already here's my daily. It is really a beater but gets mid 20's mpg will haul a decent size load and is all around enjoyable to drive. Right now it just has '09 mustang wheels, lowered a little bit and I added a rear sway bar. In the picture it looks like it has a little rake but it actually sits an inch too low in the rear, my driveway is the culprit here. I plan on some brake and mild suspension mods and some type of small turbo diesel and six speed in the future. I am shooting for 40 mpg, it's a stretch but with tuning and gearing I should be able to knock it down.

I have a few cars I rotate out depending on how I feel and what I need to accomplish during the day. I wouldn't classify them all as PT cars but they had potential.
I drive my 63 Falcon in Ohio salty winters, and as a hauling vehicle.
I drive my 65 a lot too, but the steering is sloppy so I don't drive it fast.
This used to be a daily driver before I started wrenching on it again.
This was my daily for about 5 years until I sold it.
This was a daily for 2 years until I traded it for the Barracuda.
This will be a daily driver when I'm done with it.

My '67 hasn't gotten the full PT treatment yet, but it's become my daily driver, commuter, grocery getter, I pick the kids up from daycare in it, take sunday family drives in it, do the occasional burnout in it.... The sbc and 700r4 make a great combo for commuting and gas mileage isn't too bad, maybe 20mpg. It was originally intended to be a project car, but I love driving it so much that I drive it every day.

We see quite a few cool daily drivers at Hotchkis.
Most of you are familiar with our Sales/Tech representative, Drew's Camaro. We use it to demonstrate ride height on our 3" lowering springs. You'll see it parked in the Hotchkis lot every morning.
Another Hotchkis R&D car that sees daily road use is Elana's 1970 Dodge Challenger. It's not quite Pro-Touring, but it does have a full Hotchkis TVS, and Elana reports that the sway bars and SFC make a noticeable difference in freeway merging and tight left turns.
