1956 Ford Crown Victoria. Stock appearance but with a modern drive train and creature comforts on the inside. This would also have to be the family car because owning it would mean I would not drive much else. Would prefer the continental kit also. This car is just pure.............ahhhhh

Holy ^#%@ that last one is LOW.

Yeah, he wasn't bagged or anything. I took those pics at this local car show "Greaserama". Pretty cool show.

Couple more of it:

Check out the car next to mine when it was in paint jail

My dads first car was a '56 convertible, i recall him having those side moldings in the garage most of my life....

That even looks like one of the 600 or so glass tops produced. Just so nice......even when rough.

I knew it was rare, I had no idea there were that few built. it was really pretty clean, he was just touching it up if I recall.

'68 AMX. Ugly, light, fast, and semi-mopar:) I would've bought the one I ran into for sale had I not picked my fastback up two months earlier. I'd also be (more) broke trying to fix it up...

I am planning to build another Mustang, my wife wanted a 67/68 Fastback or even a 65/66 but I haven't been able to find a decent one for a reasonable price. So we decided we would build a foxbody next.
However, if I wasn't building Mustangs I like the ratrods for sure and Fairlanes/Torinos. I really want to build an altered wheelbase "Gasser" or AF/X type car. I have a 57 Chevy 4 door body that I traded some stuff for. It's rough and the frame and nose is badly damaged from an accident and the roof is caved in but I thought would make a cool Ratrod Gasser...

Midlife · « **Reply #13 on:** March, 24, 2009, 01:50:27 PM »

A 68/69 Challenger or Barracuda, or a AC Cobra Kit Car.

Why not a comet like that gasser they are building on Musclecar tv on spike

Sluggo · « **Reply #15 on:** March, 24, 2009, 01:56:11 PM »

An AMX or a Superbird clone.

TexasAxMan · « **Reply #16 on:** March, 24, 2009, 02:03:50 PM »

Factory Five Cobra. No question. Been my dream car since I was a kid.

Really like the rat rods, but I'm afraid knowing me I'd de-rat it ......

Havok1 · « **Reply #17 on:** March, 24, 2009, 03:37:53 PM »

1970 Dodge Challenger Convertible. I still keep an eye for them when I look through ads. Heck I'd take an 09 for that matter.

The local mopar nut has one sitting in a makeshift barn/shed...and no its not for sale I bug him about twice a year. He has owned the car since high school and is content with just letting it sit. Neat car for sure

I hate to break it to you Mid, but there is no such thing as a 68/69 Challenger. :hmm

I'm a closet Pontiac freak, especially the early ones...and it must have a post:

I would like to build a black 1955 Buick Special with an Art Morrison chassis. Of course it would have to have an LS engine with a blower and 6 speed. :nice

Starfury · « **Reply #21 on:** March, 24, 2009, 10:31:19 PM »

Speaking of posts, I forgot a car. 1963 Chrysler B-body (Savoy, Belvedere, Fury, Sport Fury) post. My mom's boyfriend has a '63 Belvedere 318 and it's freaking awesome. Best sleeper car platform ever. Drop a 426 Max Wedge in it and you've got the first real factory muscle car of the 60's:)

Yeah, I have been following that with my TIVO. I really like that build. In fact I'd like to do that to a 65/66 Mustang... but that's a different thread I guess.
