Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. What old (or new) non-GM cars would you allow into your garage? As you may know, my tastes can be a little wierd. I wouldn't mind:
Any 57-61 Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler. The bigger the fins, the better. A 60 Fury would be cool (a wagon would be cooler) or a 60 300F. I love that dash! A 67 Beetle . No idea why, but I've never had the opportunity to drive or work on one.
An early (60's) VW Westfalia. Someday I want to take a trip to the east or west coast in one of these
68-9 Torino Fastback.
61 Studebaker Hawk 289, 4 speed please
70 Superbird Hemi 69.5 Super Bee 440 6 pack. Lift off hood and steel wheels works for me!
Volvo P1800 09 Challenger An early Toyota Landcruiser Jensen Interceptor (440 Chrysler powered British car). Apparently some came with 6 packs Sunbeam Tiger
I'm sure there are others but these are what currently comes to mind..
Todd, that yellow Torino is IDENTICAL to my grade 8 teacher's car, and I mean a twin!
Here's a few. The color is right on the convert, but not the other 2.
Make it a 440 please. Never been that impressed by a hemi. 427 Fairlane is a nice looking car, and certainly should get some respect on the strip! Always thought the 55 and 56 rags looked cool. The powertrain choices sure sucked though.

For a Gm guy I have let a few Fords into the garage, I have a 1928 Model A , 67 Mustang, 02 Thunderbird & a 07 Shelby GT 500. I have not gone over to the other side. I have bought a couple Gm lately. 08 Sierra and the latest toy , an 08 HHR SS
My list goes something like this...assuming money was no object
68 Barracuda convertible with a 340 63-65 Aston Martin DB5 32 Auburn Boattail Speedster 37 Cord 812 68 Charger R/T 32 Ford...convertible, 60's rod style with the big white walls, Stromberg carbs, custom interior 66-67 Plymouth Satellite/GTX/Belvedere 48 Tucker Torpedo...yeah i know, could never ever really drive it but love the car! 70 Cuda...always liked them more than the Challenger 87 Toyota Celica GT...i still miss mine...maybe move up to the GTS

32 Ford Duece Coupe.I have the 1/18 scale model and still waiting for it to grow. The others would be. 70 Cuda 68 Shelby GT 500 Last ,but not least a Mini Cooper
Well how do you like that...2hrs ago there was an ad for a 68 Cuda fastback looked like it was in decent shape, great interior, 318 with auto...now it's gone. I imagine the price of $4000 was a typo I knew it was too good to be true. Oh well, i didn't have the cash lying around and no place to put it...but damn it looked good. If i had to settle and not get a convertible i'd live with a fastback
Well cutting all the GM cars from my list sure helped shorten things up nicely!.
Here's a few...I know I've forgotten lots but have to start somewhere!.
The * indicates one's I already have and hope to get done before gasoline is extinct..
32 Ford 3 or 5 Window w/ Ardun Flatty power 37 Ford 2 Door Coach Humpback w/ a 427 Chevy *49 Stude 1/2 ton w/ F-Car Subframe and a 409 Chevy 64/65 Stude Daytona 2 Dr. Post stick car w/ factory SB Chevy 69 McLaren M8B CanAm car w/ Chevy Aluminum ZL1 71 Datsun 510 Coupe SCCA w/ factory updates *72 Jensen Interceptor Coupe w/ factory 440/4 Dodge 73 Vauxhall Firenza CanAm w/ factory 302 DZ & Muncie 75 March 75B Formula Atlantic car (Gilles V's Skiroule sponsored car) 85 Porsche 962 Group 962C - Kremer built K6 w/ long or short tail bodywork

Oh come on........That's like waving a candy bar infront of a fat kid. I don't know why I love those chrome steel wheels so much.Thanks for the link...I saved the pictures.The shot from the back is great.
Well, I already own a 2007 Toyota Tundra Crewmax Limited. It is one very nice truck and a blast to drive. First toyota I ever owned but I just liked it better than a Silverado. The only other new would be the 09 Challenger, not a mopar guy, except for a diesel, but this is one cool car. As for old, a 40 Ford is hard to beat, I would like to own a moon shine car 38 - 48 coupe or two dr sedan. Paint it black with steelies and small caps.
I once talked to a guy in Kentucky that had a passion for movie cars and he claimed he had owned 3 or 4 of the original American Graffiti cars at one time or another. He also had owned the 55 Cadillac 4dr from Driving Miss Daisy. That car was rented for the movie and went back to the owner in TN after shooting. That gentleman passed away and his son sold the car to the Kentucky gentleman. He in turn sold it to a doctor in Egypt.

Didn't mean to tease but i'm glad you liked the pics. I was mentioning about the 68 Barracuda i found yesterday. Well i got an email back, still seems to good to be true for $4000. The seller says it was her husband's car, he passed away 4 months ago. I don't have the money anyway, but if it's the real deal, what a deal. https://s418.photobucket.com/albums/pp267/hllnjord

There is no way that car is going for $4000!I'd be over at her house right now with a deposit. I've seen an ad for a gto locally and asked to see it.They sent back that the car was in the states and send money to blah blah blah

The ad is a fake, it is all over KiJiJi ... don't wire/send any money! There are many more fake ads out there.
