For me, it was just the look of the car and sound and just the raw power that these cars had. Ok, mostly the sound!! Still love that sound more than anything else, a nice cammed motor with an awesome lope. Can't beat it!!
My dad was never really into cars, unfortunatley. I used to buy all the hot rod/muscle car magazines when I was younger and always used to beg him to drive his car without a permit or driver's license back in the day. He would let me start them up, but never drive them on the street. Maybe once in a while in a super big empty parking lot and that would be my highlight of my day!!
Excellent thread idea Scott!!
