A Yenko. I got to drive one everyday when I worked at House Of Hotrods. It had around 6000 miles on it. Crazy strong running all aluminum big bock. It almost couldn’t out around. The carb would load up and it wanted to stumble. But….stick it to the floor and you better be serious about whatcha doing. Haha. I want your job

Make it a 70 W30 455 442 Of the choices I picked the 70 Chevelle. I’m assuming it was a LS7 car. I had a 65 olds 442,...20 gallon tank went about 220 miles on a full tank,...BAD AZZ !

63 corvette ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/pLBnYSwv/IMG-0218.png) My favorite of the older vettes. A lot of folks don't like that split rear window, but I really like it.

I had a 65 442 for a LONG time. My favorite car I’ve ever had. Of course I pulled the 400’and out a Joe Mondello built 540 Olds. It was based off of a 70 Toronado 455 with a billet crank. It was bored a QUARTER INCH over and used Chevy pistons. 11:1. Mondello cam. Edelbrock RPM heads, 5.0’Ford aluminum roller rockers, custom push rods….and hours and hours of porting and polishing. It was a Hardtop and was turquoise with a black top. Looked very original but it had all Hotchkis suspension and four wheel disc brakes. It ran 10.20 & around 130mph in the 1/4. Man. I really miss that car.

My senior year in H.S. (and the first two years of college) I had a '69 El Camino SS with a 396 cu.in. 425 H.P.. Holley (S.P.?) 650 double pump carb, Hurst close ratio 4 speed, headers, glass packs, Air shocks. I had to keep weight in the back to keep the wheel hop down. Nice car!
Which I had it now. By my junior year, I could not afford the maintenance or gas for that matter. I sold it to a guy and a week later he totaled it running into a guard rail on a turn. It went real fast but was not good on tight turns at speed.

Always been partial to Chevelles. The 67 Chevelle was a bigger car, but just looked great! 66 and 67 Chevy-2's are not considered muscle cars, but I think they make bad [censored] looking cars! I've had 2 of them that I drag raced! With 396 4 speed

We even had a truck with supplies and carried water / anti-freeze for them. AHAHAHHA

Chevelle wins the poll. some great cars mentioned too.
Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.

We used to race at night on 1385 and it took down some bad to the bone big block chevys . .. wasn't the Cleveland a big block 351 and the Windsor was the small block. The Cleveland was better for racing since it would breath better than the windsor. and it was a big block and could be bored out to even bigger CI and would produce more HP
