there is a bunch of good ones:

1965-1969 Chevy Corvairs, after the original corvair was flat targeted and deemed unsafe by Nader, Chevy redesigned the car in 65 into a very good looking car that fixed all the problem of the first gen. I have never heard a bad story from a current or previous Corvair owner but they will never shake the stigma Nader…

oh man where to start,

The 69 ZL1 Corvette, sure most people know of the ZL1 camaro in 69. The factory Hot rod that wasn't supposed to be built and technically wasn't since dealers used a back door to get them (COPO) but in 69 the ZL1 option was offered as a factory RPO (regular production option) in the corvette. This option alone in 69…

ah the unkown Chevy V8. Way ahead of its time but was too expensive for most people. They look really cool. My grandpa snapped a pic in the late 50s of one of those motors sitting in a local junkyard when he was a teen. Had no clue what it was. Bet it got sold for scrap.

there was the short lived Chevy Cheetah. The killed race car project that was meant to destroy cobras

So far all my long haul trips have been in my classic cars (33 Ford Pickup & 68 Camaro) so this is what I do to prep a classic car for a road trip.

the third gen Camaro/Firebird.

Third Generation Camaros/Firebirds.

on the C6 Corvette Z06 and ZR1s and the COPO Camaro you had an option to fly back and have a hand in assembling the motor for your own car with the watchful eye of the master tech. The LS7 and LS9 were hand built on a special line.

early flathead were used to power commercial generators and sawmills. They would use the flathead to power the huge saws to slice logs.

I'd love to see them come back to Portland International Raceway (PIR) in Oregon. I loved watching the trucks run there when I was a kid. Now there is no big level NASCAR in the NW area of the country. The track layout creats some great racing and the huge group if fans in this area would love to see NASCAR return to…

simple answer A Corvette. Any year Corvette. Want to spend time in the garage working on a car get a C1 (53-62), C2 (63-67) , or a early C3 ( 68-72). If you just want a car to drive get a C5 (97-04) or a C6 (05-13). You could even get a C7. There's a Corvette for every retiree. It also explains when you look for a…

older Chevy pickups, my personal taste is 67-72 preferably 71-72 because they went to five lug hubs on 1/2 ton models and front disc brakes were now standard. But really a 70s to late 80s Chevy/gmc truck.

yeah my car was never going to be mode since it was a rare anniversary car. Main reason I sold it. Then upgraded to ls1 camaro!

the opti itself not bad, plug and wire change in the camaro engine bay was a weekend of broken plugs, cussing and busted knuckles.

mine was fine up untill I sold it. Had nothing but replacement water pumps are crap

97 was the best for the opti. They added a vent to keep the cap from drawing moisture. The early ones would condensate and short out. I got lucky on my 97. Plug went bad but had 110,000 so did a tune up of plugs and wires pulled water pump and the bearing fell apart as I sat it down on the bench.

93-97 Camaro Z/28 - so high tech that if one drop of water leaks from the water pump you now have no ignition.
