If you could build any body style. Pick 2.
 
If I could build any body style in the pro-youring style it would be one of these two.

Split bumper second gen Camaro.

Or...

A '41 Willys coupe but this would have to be AWD with a blower. :popcorn2:

So what would you pick?

split bumper 2nd gen or early TA. Then again, I'm not much of a street rod guy. A 41 Willies screams rod to me. However, if you were to go hardcore/radical enough with the mods, ala Factory Five's roadster, I think you could make the Willies into something neat.

2nd Gen all day! The Willys is very cool and could be done in pro touring but still just screams STREET ROD to me.

62-64 Nova and a 70 Roadrunner

Wow, would never imagine a Willys PT style. It would definitely stand out from the crowd!! :popcorn2:

Very nice!

Well I'm not sure I can limit my picks to just 2. I have way too many interests.

I would love to be able to build this 36 ford.

I would love to build a radical 2nd gen camaro. Super slammed stance with bulged fenders and flat hood. 4 inch ride height. The problem is it would have to have T-tops to fit my big ass inside it. And T-tops are not in the plan.

I would also like to build my VW notch back. I have been looking at installing a Turbo'd ecotech in the notch I have with a sequential transaxle. Just slam it and make an sunday driver for my wife. I have the car.

The tires are a little thin on this one and a bit to slammed in the front. But you get the idea. A 300hp notchback that is slammed to the ground would be a blast.

The '41 Willys.... NO BLOWER (that's so been there done that and so PRO STREET not pro touring).

No 4 wheel drive either -- you'd have to have it look like a mudder --- there's NO room - as in ZERO in the nose of a Willys... Unless you're planning on driving from the back seat.

The shop that painted my 69 camaro had a Willys with blown hemi in it. It wasn't a 426, but one of the smaller hemi's. I sat in the car and my painter fired it up when I was sitting in it. Sitting in that thing with the whine of the blower and the idle hunting up and down was awesome. I love camaros, but a blown Willys is a whole different level of cool.

I have too many as well to limit it to just two. But here's a few on my list in no particular order.

1. 69 Camaro (go figure)
2. 70 Camaro Split Bumper
3. 56 Chevy
4. 70 Cuda
5. 70 Chevelle Convertible

Ron in SoCal 06-03-2013 05:40 PM

70 Chevelle - light suspension mods, wheels an stance, good brakes, big block power and Steve's paddle shifter. Booming stereo would be a must.

RCR SLC - 1:4 power to weight ratio. Enough said.

ProTouring442 06-03-2013 07:38 PM

I have been "building" one in my head recently.

1974 Firebird
'70-'73 nose
'76 Formula hood
'78-'81 T-tops
4 wheel independent suspension C4? C5?
6-speed manual
LS-something (a good 400-500hp)
A/C-PS-Tilt/Tele
BMW or Corvette sport seats
Exterior: Grigio Ferro (kind of a steel grey)
Interior: Some sort of saddle
17" or 18" versions of the Trans Am "Turbo" wheel


Ah, to dream...

Shmoov69 06-03-2013 10:48 PM

Willys. Do it!!


Do it...!!



DO IT...!!! :trophy-1302:

64-67 Plymouth Belvedere
68-70 Javelin

I'd like to do a 1940 Buick coupe some day. Get it sitting right on an aftermarket chassis and do a little clean up on the body. Drop in a FI 455 with a gearvendors and hit the road.

As far as muscle cars, I'm diggin Streetkings red Firebird. Not sure what it is about the 2nd gens, they just look ready for battle!:bigun2:

:cheers:

I never thought so many people would like the idea of a Willys PT style. :thumbsup:

Maybe mid or rear engine is what I was thinking. :headspin:

One day someone will build it...
