First gen Pontiac Tempest/Le Mans. It's the forgotten innovator, withering in the overrated Chevrolet Corvair's shadow, despite having featured fully independent suspension, an aluminium V8 engine block and a transaxle years and decades respectively before the Corvette did. The base four cylinder is also the largest ever in a petrol passenger car, its Buick sister, the Special/Skylark, was the first American production car with a V6, and its Oldsmobile sister, the F-85/Cutlass, was the world's (!) first production car with a turbocharger.

>TFW I had my dream car only to just have it totaled half a year later by my ex

>>16326730
Was it everything you dreamed it would be when you had it?

>>16326753
I couldn't of been more happy with it. It was near like new too with only 11k miles on it and garage kept for its almost 37 years.

>>16326589
Don't know American muscle that well but the 1970 z28 tickles my fancy

>>16326761
How did such an old car have that few miles on it? always puzzled me how that happens. I mean, so many decades even at a casual drive pace has got to add up right?

>>16326761
I assume resale value. The man who sold to me had no need for it as it was just hogging space and really wanted to get rid of it. Fortunately I only paid like $6,500 for it.

I just want a Dartiant with a 318 and a 4-speed.

ANY year, except 1962.

>>16326809
I killed her carefreeness if that counts.
>>16326840
I guess the guy thought it would of been an endangered rarity in the next few decades when he bought it, hence is why he didn't drive it a lot. Still he could of sold me the Eldorado five times as much as he originally sold it for being in immaculate shape before it got destroyed by my ex-girlfriend.

Fuck man, my brother owned a 1972 z28. Rebuilt it himself, found someone to do a period correct laquer paint job, etc.

Thing was a beast, he had to sell it for lawyer money to try and fail to get custody of his kid from batshit anti-depressant pill popping mommy.

I regret never getting the chance to drive it.

Looked like pic related, only all black.

Pretty sure most of these cars have a 318/904 combo though.
4 speed swaps aren't the easiest thing either.

Boomers disagree. That's why Mecum auctions are the biggest comedy in the world. Old rich cucks spending upwards of millions on shitty old cars from their childhood just for them to sit in a nitrogen bubble until the year 2080 where they will be auctioned off once again.

>>16328809

>>16328809
I think anything bigger than 17 inch wheels looks like shit on classic cars.
Disc brakes should be a required conversion though.
Some of these drums are so worn out, it's insane. One of my cars literally pulls into oncoming traffic when you hit the brakes hard enough.

>>16328817
He's saying what are boomers so retarded as to spend six digits on a car so that it can just sit in their car until they die and then get sold again.
Such is the fate of many classic cars.
Fuck that, i daily them sometimes.

I too love AMC. They tried to out bang-for-the-buck the Corvette in the 60s with the AMC AMX (A car that tried to appeal to Muscle and Sports-car enthusiast) i wish it caught on and forced the big 3 to do the same. Thunderbird was supposed to rival the corvette in performance but Ford kinda drop the ball on that.

>>16329222
they were a lower tier yes but I was looking back and I don't think AMC ever made an ugly perfomace car. even the spirit amx looked pretty cool. Is there a stinker? I even like the batfender javalins and would stab someone for a 1st gen trans am edition

I have this stupid idea of converting an El Camino to electric. I know it's a stupid idea and I'll never do it but that doesn't mean I don't want to.

Imagine a stupidly powerful electric motor with it's instant torque and a bed full of lipo batteries to keep the wheel in place. It would probably twist the frame pretty quickly.
