Brother has one of those. Not AMG. His DD for a long time. Suspension tune, dropped, SS headers he built, ground cams, Comp TA’s, more. Also has an AMG motor for it, but will probably never get installed. There’s a video of him on Big Willow beating guys up on Cobra club track day somewhere. Definitely cool cars.
I’ve driven a 250 gto. Definitely a drivers experience just sitting in it while it was running. Nobody in the shop would move it, she was a finicky bitch, and with a dual disc ( I think?) the clutch was like a NASCAR, off or on. Would have like to get it on the open road.
I always thought the front end and driveline was deserving of a boat tail roadster configuration, like Cord had.
The Daytona is definitely my dream car. While still extremely expensive, you can get a decent example for $600k. I watched one go at no reserve on BaT a couple years back at 425. In retrospect, likely a smoking deal. Nice to occasionally dream..Good choices. I think the Miura is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
When I was young the 275 GTB was one of my dream cars.
A few years later the 365 GTB came out and when I read Brock Yates's account of he and Dan Gurney doing the Cannonball in one it became my new lust after car.
These are multi million dollar cars now so no longer attainable for the average guy.
I was thinking Roadhouse.
Funny. I love the old Nissan hardbody’s. If I had a money tree I’d build an extra cab 80’s / 90’s style, body dropped, removable hard top, big system and a double diamond bed.
Never been a big fan of the GTO's, always preferred the SWB's.
Around 1976 Rick Quant bought a 1956 Power Wagon at a Forest Service auction, I think he paid about $1,200 for it. It had a monster 6 cylinder engine, and in low 4WD it would climb just about anything.
Roo called it the Green Geek. We took it out rabbit hunting on the mesa at night. This was when the mesa began at Montgomery on the south and I-25 on the west and ran all the way up to the base of the Sandias. There were three of us standing in the bed hanging on to the headache rack with 12 gauge shotguns, and another person in the cab with a spotlight.
We would be hauling ass up arroyos and flying over dirt roads chasing the rabbits, barely hanging on and trying to shoot at the same time. It's a miracle no one was shot.
The truck looked like this one. It was a lot of fun.

Does this
does this car have factory.electric windows and door locks ???
I fell in love with these cars back then when I was in highschool and had a longtime neighbor who was a dealer in classic and the exotic cars of that era so I was really spoiled with cool test rides growing up. But the day he took me for a ride in a Hammer Coupe is just one that always stayed with me. This blue example is by far the best looking one i've ever seen hands down.
Factory power windows....Yes
Of course. This is a realistic dream car that I will 100% own soon.
61 or 62 rag Impala. Bagged or lifted I’ll have a set of 22’s and a set of Daytons at the ready.

Funny, same thought came to me.You been hanging out in Oxnard too long, Tank!
But then he runs an ocean boat on the Colorado River. 
You been hanging out in Oxnard too long, Tank!
Lol. Grew up in the nard low riding, what can I say?Funny, same thought came to me.
I'm sure you'd approve this purchase, even though it has fenders, the way I like them.You guys have good taste in cars!
A lot of these cars are going to be dream cars and made of unobtanium. Could never afford to buy them or maintain and drive them.
How about cars that you might actually be able to buy someday (or already own).?
I'm sure you'd approve this purchase, even though it has fenders, the way I like them.
Luv it. That is perfect for what I want to build. I’d probably extend the wheel base about 10 inches to make room for some more motor goodness.
"Great Thing", NotedLol. Grew up in the nard low riding, what can I say?
That’s the great thing about an offshore boat, runs anywhere!

) and you'd have to lengthen the frame or have a severe suicide front end. Just move the seats back a bit and recess the firewall. You could fit a BBC or even a Hemi with a blower just by cutting back the firewall a couple inches. Or just move the radiator forward slightly. Here's my old '34 with a blower on it. I just moved the radiator forward a few inches and you can see, there was plenty of clearance. A big block isn't any longer than a SBC.
