Oh yeah. Could tell coming down the street by the sound. Had a SEG on my face

Love the old iron like that and the truck in your avatar. While the new stuff may run circles around the old stuff, there's no comparison as to which is cooler..... 20 years from now a 1971 Camaro will turn more heads than a 2021 Camaro ever will.
Yep. The 426 Hemi has a sound like no other. To me, it's primal. Like hearing the thunder clap from a lightning strike a few hundred feet away.
Edit: Funny, but less than 2 minutes after I posted the above, lightning struck the metal grain silo in our back yard. It shook the house. Scared the crap out of our cat and two dogs.

I think it's a Road Runner according to the tape stripe.
Same brute force and ignorance, though. Just less chrome trim.
You're probably correct. I'm not much of a Mopar guy, so my guess at it being a GTX was a wild one.
We don't have to wait that long...
Correction to my post #105 on the previous page. My cousin sold his Cobra because he didn't like the gearing of the transmission, not because the ride was too harsh. He wishes he would have put a different transmission in it rather than sell it, but it's too late for that now.

I had a 70 GTX. My favourite muscle car out of a camaro, twister, roadrunner parade. Mine only had the 440 tho
Nothing wrong with the 440. Honestly in a naturally aspirated application, I think a wedge head is superior to a Hemi head.
'62 Mercedes SL 300, please. Not fussy, any color will do. TIA

My first car was a TR-2. I would be happy with a TR-3 since there are more of them and the brakes are a little better. You don't take much with you and never, ever leave anything in it.
Big YES for a TR3! Especially a '63 (last year) TR3-B, with the stronger TR4 engine and full synchro first gear.
Renault R5 Turbo... the ultimate LeCar.
I got a wild ride in one of these in the mid-80s.

L72 Chevy Biscayne.... 427 cubes and a 4 Speed in a light weight B body Biscayne.
My former drummer had a thing for the Big Block B body GM cars.... at one point he had a 1967 Bisquick 427 4 Speed car that we determined was one of about three ever built with the option package that the car had.... It was a Canadian build in a 1967 only purple color with the 427 and a stick. We cruised it around our hometown for a few years, no one ever seemed to catch on as to what that car really was. Finally Mark packed it away in mothballs awaiting a full restoration.
Ultimately he sold it to a collector in Texas for stupid money.
