Default 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.



So what would you pick?

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

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.

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...

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!

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.
