Waiting to see Redfrogs favorite chariot, was it 1,2 or 4 horsepower (or maybe just a burro)?

Most of my favorite muscle cars predate my birth by a slim 2-7 years, I'd have to select something from a list rather than my gut. Then again there's also the European iron to consider as well. Hmmmm

1986 I was born about a decade and a half too late. Did a Google search and found nothing cool other than a Gnx but that was 1987.

1964 Avanti/Studebaker. a guy a few houses from where I grew up had one and a 1935 Nash Ambassador, both in mint condition. Both cars inspired that type of awe where you just sit and stare at them.

Only a year off, but my '47 Monarch with the flathead 239 was cool.

No favourite car or truck from my year - early post war cars were not my thing - well maybe an early Pre A.
Two years before the one in the Richard Thompson song and the same year the famous picture of Rollie was taken.

Yeah, those guys born in the mid '60's to early 70's had the best choices.

Nope, '56 T Bird then '61 corvette. I lusted for two seaters and '46 brunettes. Gave up the last of my two seaters years ago, but 48 years later, still have the brunette

1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 with the 428 C.I.D. That car was a beautiful beast.

They still make some pretty nice two seaters. I kind of sort of picked one up in Edmonton a week ago. My daughter was kind enough to take a picture of me with it, and put together a little 'ad' with her photoshop genius.....that line about the mid life crisis is mine. I feel like I'm handling mine successfully!
