That's pretty rapid.

Either one of those f100's, prob 1956
1955 Ranchero,
or ultimately a 1957 mainline.
Seems I like wrap around windscreens.
They all seem I crap condition for stupid money, so really I just want to my BF get its motor done properly this time by Cragsted Engines, and then track time.

The one in my post is a 56.

Would retrotech it, make it run a 5.0 SC Miami and ZF auto for effortless cruising, as I would intend to drive it that way.

Porsche 959, Ferrari F40, or some sort of X-Series Coupe with a 351.
I'll take all three instead.

New cars?
S-Class Benz...no two ways about it.

Classic? A 1965 Pontiac GTO with the 421 tri-power engine and four speed, or a VH Charger E49 in that orange colour. Or both. Or all three of the cars I just mentioned.

Speaking of 120Y Datsuns, I recently saw one which made me utter the words I never thought would ever leave my mouth: "Now that's a 120Y I'd love to own"...
Here it is in all its glory, taken at Mcdonalds in Gracemere outside Rocky...someone had obviously spent a lot of time and effort on this little gem.

Do companies still do kit car Cobras you can do yourself...? I haven't seen much about them for a long time, and they used to be everywhere.

I mean, sitting beside the house I've got an old WB ute with a worked 253 and shift kitted auto...

I usually prefer coupe shape to be honest in most models, but for Torana the sedan looks better to me for some reason.

The sound is just brilliant too I reckon. A worked one sounds far better than the other thread about AMG that's for sure!

Did you grow up on Test Drive II?

Mine would be a '57 Bel Air, Ram 3500 Cummins, and a Jeep Wrangler fully modified w/ lift kit, Dana 60s, V6 diesel and an 8 speed auto out of the Grand Cherokee.
