Which classic car would you buy?

Might as well continue the trend with these sorts of polls, seeing as my replies to them are making me so many new friends

Which classic car would you buy?

For our purposes, let's define classic as being pre-1980 so there's no arguments about it.

I'd be looking for an old-school musclecar, something American from the late 60s/early 70s like a Pontiac GTO or an AMC Javelin. Maybe something local along the same lines - HQ Statesman maybe.

On the other hand, I've always liked the Holden EJ-EH wagons and utes - a fully restored one, or maybe even a retro-tech one with modern engine and driveline (Alloytec V6 or EFI V8, maybe) would be the go.

I'd love to restore an old car, but I just know that it will sit around for years and I'll get p'd off with it very quickly.

I'd be keen on either a HZ tonner...all the stuff you know 350 etc etc with a timber deck...

or a Sandman, but this sandman would have to look like something off Pim My Ride...velvet trim, satin sheet and pillow cases, HUGE DVD screen and massive sound system murals, chromies...ooohh yeah...oh and a 350 as well

NONE

Cars in this bracket are GENERALLY unsophisticated, poor handling and crudely engineered machines. Words like "Live rear axle", "Carburetor" and "Points" come to mind.

Shudder......

It won't be just you who makes new friends on this one...... I've a feeling my ABSOLUTE disgust at ALMOST anything from this era will Irk a few.

Now the 80s, there were a few, not many, but a few goodies in there.

GeeeAus

Wait, maybe a Lada Niva........ :-) Tisk Tisk

I love classic cars - especially ones from the 60's/70's - and I reckon they were built well.
