    Charger
    Had to go with the Charger.
    Reason is… this is the one car I shouldn’t have sold.

    That's a tough choice. I'm a big Pontiac fan, so it might come down to engines.

    If the GTO has the Ram Air IV, then the goat, if the Charger has the 426...I might have to go with the Dodge, but blindly.....would be the GTO.

    Chevelle is such a sweet car, the 454 is definitely proven...but the GTO has more of a cool pedigree.

    Loved the GTO since I was a kid. One of my uncles had three of them. I could always hear him coming to visit from blocks away. Sadly he’s down to just a 1970.

    Chevelle
    Short list
    69 Camero
    69-70 mustang fastback
    Early 70's Cuda or challenger
    Had a 71 fastback mustang, almost bought a 70
    Fastback, but got the 69 camero instead.
    I prefer 65-67 gto. The 67, 70 and 71 chevelle are good as well.
    My son was a big Trans am fan. He had a 79 Trans am in high school
    He also had one of the last Trans ams ever made(2002).

    I'm getting a bit of a Studebaker vibe as well.

    I had a 66 tempist tri-power. That thing was a pain in the booty to keep running right. Then I had a 69 Catalina convertible with the 428 HO motor. Much easier to keep tuned.

    Either car with the old cheap pollyglass tires would smoke the tires as long as you held the peddle down. Those tires could not grip anything .

    When I was a kid, my father had a friend who had a Borgward.
    Of course, one of my uncles (my father's youngest brother) had a Renault Dauphine in roughly the same time frame, so my frame of reference was a bit skewed.

    It was roughly the same color as above, as I remember: sort of a greyish-blue-phlegm-ish hue. :#

    I also had a 1979 Trans Am while I was in H.S.. 6.6L automatic. Gold with the brown bird. It wasn't the fastest car in town by any stretch but it sure could turn a lot of heads. I had a lot of fun in that car!

    Back to the OP.....I am still (months later) debating on the Chevelle and the Goat. There is just "something" about that Chevelle that.....well, can't really describe it. Whenever I see one in person, I get excited. I think the photo doesn't do it justice. Now, if "Dad" had this Goat?

    There would be no contest.

    Chevelle
    My 68 Z/28 with 3:73 rear would do 70 mph in 1st at 7,200 RPM, 90 in 2nd and 120 in 3rd. I don't know what it would have done in 4th, but I had it up to 6,800 RPM in 4th on LBJ Freeway in Dallas right after they opened it my junior year school (1968). If was still pulling but the intersection of LBJ and 35 North was getting close and I wasn't sure I could make the turn so I backed off. I was also worried about the tires as I didn't know what the top speed rating was on them.

    If you can believe this we use to go do our top end races there as there was no traffic to speak of back then. North Dallas was south of LBJ.

    BTW the RPM reading was with a Sun tach as the factory tachs weren't that good back then. The smog pump belt was off and the 780 dual feed Holley carb was re-jetted as it would die above 6,500 RPM as it was jetted too lean. I could knock of nearly a second in the quarter by putting bigger jets in and taking the smog pump belt off.

    Not saying there was some cars out there that were faster on top end in my area, but I never got beat on top end with that car as no one that had one raced me. In a drag race yes, but not that often.

    I did a lot of street racing back then usually every Friday night if I didn't have a date.

    Sure wish I still had that car.
