my first vehicle looked a lot like this, just with different hubcaps:

The 63 Vette is the only Vette I've ever liked.Maybe stereotypical, but if I had the cash to buy any old car it'd probably be a 63 vette
It's between the GT40 and the Cobra Daytona Coupe as the best Fords ever made.
I was at a race last year and there were at least 40 gt40s in there. First time I saw one was at Sebring, I almost jumped out of the tram to go see it.
My dad started racing in the 40s. In the 25+ years he raced he cut up, at today's prices, hundreds of thousands worth of cars. Then just thousands. Plus he had dozens of street cars over the years. My favorite out of all of them was his Citroen DS with a Hudson Hornet not far behind.

Since my dad was a racer I got to see them when new in all their glory. The first time I saw a GT40 I couldn't believe what a beautiful car it was. And there were all kinds of European race cars there too.
I remember these from when I was a kid. I also remember seeing everybody I ever knew who had one, slowly driving to the Ford dealer (more than once) with their roofs in that exact position; and using swear words I wasn't supposed to hear (or know about)...
While the front of this car looks great I think they could have done a better job designing the back. The '59 Impala which is almost the same exact car, but cheaper, looks way better IMODoes this '59 Bonneville make your nipples hard?
I've even seen a V8 swapped one. I think it was an LS1 or some other Chevy Small BlockGreat stuff, guys!
As an avid motorcyclist, the Ariel Atom beckons me like a redheaded siren. How could this not be fun? Want!

I'd love to have a late 80s square body K20 Suburban. 4WD with solid axles, fully restored with a 496 Big Block and an Auto, 4 wheel disc brakes, full leather interior, quality audio, black paint and cab lights. Something like this, but black and clean (Also the one in the photo is a 1980, not a late 80s model):
I guess universally hated things are also iconic in a way aren't they? I wonder which one gets more hate, the aztec or the prius?1970's AMC Pacer View attachment 1026201
1980's Ford Pinto View attachment 1026203
1990's Pontiac Aztec View attachment 1026204
Ironic cars right ?
I think the 73 - 80 looks better with the single headlights and vertical sidemarker lenses..... my wife would love for me to find one and build it for her. She's like it with barn doors, one ton axles and 38" Swampers.
Round headlights for the win!

Wait, don't K10s have independent front suspensions?
Inversely, I've seen a dually C/K30 on youtube with IFS. I think it was something like an 88 model year. Strange, I thought heavy duty trucks at the time only came with solid axles.
