My dream build would be a 67-68 camaro. I'm so pissed at myself for getting rid of the one I had, I can't look at them. Makes me sick at my stomach.

Yeah, started looking for one in 92. Took 5 years to find the right on. I am in Idaho next to the Oregon border and we found this one in Snohomish WA. Bought it in November of 97, drove it home scared to death somebody was gonna run over me. It is silver with red interior/ 300 horse 327 4 spd 3.31 Posi.. It has real knock-off wheels but according to GM records none were ever ordered with them, so somebody added them.. We have fun with it

Money is not a concern dream build? An Icon Derelict level build of my Suburban.

More realistic? Having the cash to finish my red pickup off the way I want:
Strange rear end, Tremec 6 speed, blown 454... Bit by bit I'll get there. I'll be settling for a fresh 350, a rebuilt Muncie to replace the NPA833, and a rebuilt sock ass end w/ an Eaton. Although I have been contemplating rebuilding the 305...

I love the 65-66 Corvairs, they look good from any angle. Ever since the late sixties,early seventies when the mid engine V8 conversions came out I have wanted to do that. I actually ordered the Kelmark kit construction manual for $15.00 back then just to see how involved it might be. Alas there was never any money for such things back then.

I guess my dream build will be my 67 Chevelle I’ve had for close to 30 years now. The only problem is a dream build is usually a money is no object project which is not my situation.

I have a fascination with station wagons too. I’m thinking a early sixties Buick Skylark with the vista-roof with a stage 1 455.

Speaking of Buick’s, a 65 Riviera with the dual quad 425 maybe on air bags.

Then there’s the 69 Dodge Charger...."
