Classic eh?
I’ve always been partial to a really clean Chevelle. When they are done right it’s amazing.
For a stock cruiser I have to go with the 1967 Goat convertible!
But, given the chance, I’d rather go off with a 1964 Cheetah with a 454 SBC tuned up to only about 540hp, with an extremely lopey and wonderfully chaotic cam. With straight open headers butterflied to Flow Masters.
And I don’t mean “bubbly” (just a low idle setting), or “loud” (open headers), or “hollow/deep” (straight pipes). I mean completely chaotic and utterly unpredictable. It’s the unpredictability that is so fascinating. Alive! An animal.
Especially blipping the throttle, and all that random goodness harmonizing perfectly quickly. Not exactly like this, but you get the idea.
A M-22 Muncie for that straight cut gear sound.
A wolf in wolf’s clothing. Custom suspension work all the way around primarily for Santa Monica canyon work.
