Well, if someone gave me a '67 Camaro I would be a very happy boy.

Great stuff. I'm not a big fan of fifties cars but you really can appreciate the work that goes into one of them. Maybe a Corvette though.....
I do love the muscle cars. A nice Barracuda or a GTO or a Charger or a Challenger or a Camaro, or, or.......... Anyone interested in hot rods should tune into American Hot Rod on Sky (maybe freeview too but unsure). It features Boyd Coddington Hot Rods Garage and is your typical hammed-up US "real lives" type production but the cars and the work carried out is, as our colonial cousins would say, bitchin!

It would have to be a Smokey & The Bandit Trans-Am for me but the early one from the first film not the one from STB2 but then I hate LHD cars so forget it I'll have a nice P5B instead

Not into Hot-rods, but would love to own a mid 70's Lincoln Continental

My first car was a '78 mustang 302 V8, was terribly unreliable, tacky and in bad taste, but sounded and looked great!

That's not a car, that's a small bungalow on wheels!

Not my cup of tea but, again, you really have to admire the vastness of the car.
