mine would be the classic vw bug, of course. but other then that i LOVE the 1980's porsche 911 RUFF, which i consider a classic. i also like the looks of the 1958 Porsche 356. another favorite of mine is the ferrari GTO. amazing car.

the last favorite of mine, is a classic jag race car. i saw this car on top gear once and dont remember the name of it, and cant find it on youtube. it sounded AMAZING.

it looked similar to this...

so whats your favorite?

well... GTO... you couldn't find anything cheaper, huh?

Ruf is spelled with one F, though... jfyi

my faavorite classic car? dunno... Ferrari Dino maybe, because they're the only affordable Ferraris
Or a Mustang 67 or 72
I mostly like what in Germany is called "Youngtimers" (as opposed to "Oldtimers" = Classic cars at least 30 years old). Youngtimers are cars that are between 20 and 30 years old, and I think they are very cool. You can count the e30 in, I also love the e32 or the 6er, and the G-body Porsche Turbo is on my top 10 as well. Then there's also the 80s Ferraris, the Maserati Biturbo or Ghibli, the Benz W123 Coupé, the Golf I GTi, the Audi Quattro, the Lancia Delta Integrale...

you name it

oh yeah. nice choice. i really like those, altho some of them can be pretty ugly.

denyo77 · 12-30-2007, 03:09 PM

yeah, the 928 AFTER facelift (f.e. the 928 S2) is the one to get
they're awesome
or the 944... that's a nice bottle rocket, too...

EDIT: Craig, where did your signature go?

theres a 60's lincoln continental in a town close to here that you could probably pick up for next to nothing and have it shipped

not in too bad of shape either, would just need a little work.

id love to have a Continental. problem is i could never afford the gas

i fell in love with them, when my friend who has had more, cars, girls, and jobs than any man alive, pulled into my drive way with a 1962 with suicide doors, painted white with black spots like a cow. he used it to deliever pizza's. it was a sofa on wheels, i dont think it had any seat belts. beastly. when you turned, the whole car tilted due to the super soft shocks
