Thread: If you could pick one zero miles car.....

1932 Ford Roadster. Second choice would be a 1963 Vette fuelie split window.

Don

A Thunderbolt, Or a Comet Cyclone with a 390, 4 spd. Maybe a 59 Vette or a 63 on the side.

I have a long list of favorites but if I had to narrow it down to just one, make mine a new 1967 Corvette 427 435hp 4spd Coupe, Marina Blue with Black hood stripe bright blue interior, side pipes, no a/c .....

so when can I get it???? oops already did, only in my dreams.

62 Corvette. Best of both worlds.
But hey why not the manta ray proto type. One cool car!

This is just like the premise .... so many women, so little time.

I've had a 69 Hemi Barracuda fastback and while I would love to have it back, I think I will choose something less obvious. Like may be a 63 Avanti R3 or a 1958 or 59 Corvette......or better yet a 1964 E Type Jaguar roadaster, red, with tan leather interior and a white rag top. Yeah, I think a new one of those would be just right. Definitely one of the most beautiful cars of all time.

Shelby GT 500's with a Factory 427 Lightweight Side-Oiler motor installed at the Shelby Factory. This lightweight 427 side-oiler was the same motor that was installed in the AC 427 Competition Cobras.

Shoulder Harness 41.62

Fold down Rear Seat 53.15

Deluxe wheels 151.74

This is an interesting thread,,as you probably dont realise,us Kiwis have been starved of all the "different" American cars,sure,we got the regular common garden variety four door sedans,but we got diddly in the way of ragtops,coupes,two door sedans,unless they were private imports. I guess things have changed a whole lot in the last 20 years or so,but I dont know what I would go for,a mid sixties Belvedere 2 with hemi and 4 speed would be a good start,a Shelby GT500 with 427 would also spin my crank,,hey I would even take my1960 Galaxie4 dr/ht as a brand new car,as there were only six brought in from Canada,right hand drive,for Ford Motor Company execs in 1960,and I believe it is the only one left of the six.

Sure screwed that one up , didnt I?

1964 ford t-bolt

69 roadrunner 440+6 butternut yellow

and the car id probably take over half of that list......

....I'm going for a '65 Plymouth Belvede I w/ the 426 race Hemi & a Torqueflight. The one w\ the aluminum hood & acid diped body, light weight van seats, etc.... There's a name for it but I don't remember it...... A close second is a Copo Nova ala 1969 w/ a 4 speed..... Probably cuz I owned a new '65 Plymouth Belvedere I w/ a 383/auto & a new '69 Nova w/ a 396 4speed. I tried to order a 427 in it. The local dealer put the order in but then after months of waiting & no car I went to another dealer & bought the 396. The dealer finally said that he couldn't get the car. Maybe he didn't know the COPO code??? ..... Bill

The one I should have kept, 1965 Vette with factory 396/425HP.

Yhe only year Vette with a 396. I chromed the valve covers and air cleaner lid, but other than that it was 100% stock and FAST

mine would be a hemi cuda, in purple, but the green wouold work.

I tried to buy one of these new. Two different dealerships offered me $150 for my red '62 Biscayne! The new redline tires cost that much! I did not buy!
