25+ years old.
not really a dream build. but something you would want to fix up and have around for a while.
something that could be bought here (in US). not rare as hell

mine would be:
'70's honda civic

It would have to be a 240Z.

12/16/2008 12:35:14 AM

My dad had the same car way back when. Same color also!

12/16/2008 12:47:54 AM

it'd be funny as hell running a civic with antique car plates

12/16/2008 1:02:27 AM

VW Bus or classic Land Rover

12/16/2008 1:21:38 AM

i look for cvcc's once a week.

i see rust free ones go for under 2 grand

12/16/2008 8:18:13 AM

yee.


ive been looking for the classic S cars. S600,500,800 or what not. not real serious. they're real hard to come by.

i like this:




a guy in raleigh had an old school civ for like $300.. forgot the year. but he never got back to me. do a crazedlist.org search. my friend said he found a good many on CL.

12/16/2008 9:04:06 AM

p1800

i was daaamn close to having one of these for my first car. pops shit all over the idea because one of the body mounts was rusted and he just doesnt get that you can actually repair cars, you buy then, drive them til they start to break and get rid of them.......

12/16/2008 9:39:29 AM

ive always had a dream to do up a 2002 real nice like and stuff

12/16/2008 9:52:17 AM

66 Chevelle SS would be my choice.

12/16/2008 10:52:25 AM

One of my buddies in high school had a cherry CVCC that he received from one of his grandparents. That thing was as reliable as a new car and very cheap on gas. We made a roof basket out of old shopping carts for it one night (for carrying all the off road gear.)

12/16/2008 10:52:49 AM

fordHater had a friend with one... dont remember if there was a swap in it, i dont think there was, but he autoXed it. man that thing was tight. lol

my dad had a '74 civic hatch, orange in color. I saw pics of it. He had it while he was at NCstate. now i see where i get my civic hatchback love from.

12/16/2008 10:56:54 AM

already have the truck, just need to do the work

12/16/2008 3:46:40 PM

i definitely have a hardon for the ac cobra 427 and i know nothing about cars...which is why i'd probably be okay with a kit

12/16/2008 4:00:41 PM

'64 Galaxie, preferably a 500/XL coupe, would be at or near the top of my list.

I can't believe you guys are jizzing yourselves over raggedy old hondas, but to each his own, I guess.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oASUBZY-ZGI

I've done the muscle car thing, the antique thing, the late-model american thing, messed around with VW's, so I guess next is a quick roadster of some sort. The AC bodies look good, but they're too common and scream kit car. Granted, there are a lot of $40,000 kit cars out there.

12/16/2008 6:25:55 PM

Work in progress . . .

12/16/2008 6:39:55 PM

Looks straight enough. But for the love of god please don't paint it orange.

12/16/2008 6:48:12 PM

12/16/2008 7:14:19 PM

I'd like to have a Triumph TR5 or something similar. I've always liked the look of those small British roadsters.

12/16/2008 7:25:19 PM

i that lead around thetop of the back window on that charger?

I know where a solid one is if you are interested.

12/16/2008 9:29:29 PM

Are you serious about the 70's civic? I'm half ass interested

12/16/2008 9:37:16 PM

several years ago I had almost 10 willys wagons and pickups in the yard. always wanted to restore one of them, but just ended up collecting them. I did a restomod on one with 1 tons, but sold it before I finished it.

I'd love to find a nice FJ45LV or Iron pig though.

nigggg plz..

no one is jizzing here. like i said. something practical.

12/16/2008 9:54:03 PM

The point if a classic car build is to get something completely impractical.

If I wanted a practical car I'd buy one, not build it.

12/16/2008 10:00:52 PM

you're the one to talk


id love to build a old school chevy.. but if i wanna build it, its gonna be right.

the honda would be nice as something to just mess with.

12/16/2008 10:03:12 PM

I passed one just like this on Hwy 70 in Garner today, believe it or not.

12/16/2008 10:42:03 PM

yeah, ive seen a few. not lately though. last i saw/heard was the one in raleigh some guy was trying to sell for $300. def. something i would have been interested in. but im guessing he got rid of it before i found him.

12/16/2008 10:53:18 PM

12/16/2008 10:58:42 PM

Deloreans, Porsche 356's, Cobras, Camaros, Mustangs are all available in reproduction form. You don't even have to find an original, every single part is still being manufactured new.

12/16/2008 11:34:19 PM

1976 Celica GT

12/16/2008 11:56:31 PM

I'd like to own each of these when I have proper garage/warehouse space to keep them. No plans to build them myself when I could own a nice example of both cars for around $60k total (Cobra in kit form.)

EV2 is where it's at . . . no vinyl top and blackout in the hood scallops with black bumblebee stripe.

I think the lead is on the sail panel seam at the top of the quarter panel. What you are seeing is at the top of the back window is rust spots above the window trim. Stupid vinyl tops.

Here's a closeup of that area.



I think the lead is at the top of this sail panel.







Something is strange about this car. They didn't have R/Ts in 73 or 74. I guess the badge is just stuck on there.

Well then, if the AC Cobra and Porsche 356 Speedster are out because they are available in kit form, then I'd totally have this:
