number 1 classic car

holmsy · Post by **holmsy** » October 4th, 2009, 5:28 am

5.30 in the morning just finished watching "Love the beast"
and i have been thinking especially over the last few weeks.
what classic car i really want to do up and keep essentially for ever.
iv always wanted a classic. orginally i wanted an xy/xw gt but kind of got over that when i found there is so many mock up gt's around. i wanted something a bit less common.
then thought of an XT mainly beacause my dads first car was an XT i thought it would be good to have that sort of history of his first car and me having the same.
and these days have been thinking something like a zc fairlane.

my mind has changed alot but i am really getting keen to decide on a car to spend my money on and not compromise on anything. everything done right. no cheap shit. no ebay branded shit. most of all. no grease or oil outside where it belongs

just thought i would see what everyone else would get if they wer to get a car to keep for ever and spend their hard earned cash on.

lol true that

But I'd like an XA-XC GT (or in the XC case Cobra) coupe. They look so tough!

so now that youve sobered up and had a sleep, did you realize that your hand was on it, and you'd be stuck with an eseries for a dream car?

oh lol.... some people here might masturbate over a FR19 or Driftek, but on an XY would look completely shithouse. Maybe the only time in history where i reckon a 14" rim looks best on a car.......

A 41 Willys' would be nice but i'd haev to go with an american 2 door fairlane, maybe even an impala.

..

KR1STO · Post by **KR1STO** » October 4th, 2009, 8:16 pm

1966 Fairlane GT 2door Hardtop for me...

Maybe you don't frequent other forums anymore? FR19's on X-Series has been done 11ty bajillion times. They are a timeless design that suit almost any car. XW/Y + FR's = WIN, EA-L + FR's = WIN, AU-BF + FR's = WIN. FR's are a fukken sexual wheel that just work on almost everything.

1969 Chevelle SS or 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda, So much hotness.

XK or XP wagon

SLY5LT · Post by **SLY5LT** » October 5th, 2009, 12:09 am

my first car was a "vj charger" 318 V8,
sold it due to finding a bit of rust & thought is was f#%ked (i was young & did'nt know it could be fixed)

would love to one day get one & do what i had planned for it, most i've seen of late have been on the dragstrip.

misk · Post by **misk** » October 5th, 2009, 6:04 am

88 vn wagon with an na rotory conversion...

Lol I really wouldn't be able to choose one specific model.
But I have mad respect for any old banger done to todays standards, kinda makes my heart skip a beat!
I wouldn't mind going all fast n furious with a 2jz in something old, even an old Toyota

Post by **Bipolar** » October 5th, 2009, 7:08 am

XA Hardtop or a Landau

nice choices bomber... pretty much exactly my top 2..

Post by **Commando** » October 5th, 2009, 7:19 am

misk --> OKE020, youtube it.

I'd go something large & slow, column shift auto + bench seat. Something like a ZF-ZG Fairlane or a CH Chrysler.

That, or a pre-67 VW Beetle

Malakai · Post by **Malakai** » October 5th, 2009, 7:46 am

Old school mustang for sure, but all the pushrods, carby, drum brakes and old school mechanicals would go in the bin for full modern motor, driveline, brakes and suspension and of course a kenne bell supercharger.

But I only say an old school mustang because this thread is about classic cars. Otherwise it would be an 2005 onwards mustang, black with all the upgraded bits I could get and of course a kenne bell. The best looking cars in the world ever, period.

I'd get another mini.

Or a genuine GT of some sort and put a BA 6 in it to make people on the internet angry.

Post by **Commando** » October 5th, 2009, 8:30 am

n/a 6 to make Kester happy?

lol, XW GT with an LS1 conversion would probably be worse!

For me, E49 Hemi 6 pack is the only option! 265 with tripple side draft webbers, four on the flour, Hemi orange of course with original 6 pack decals.
