wow... this could be a REALLY long list!!

if we don't get into the nitty-gritty of drivetrains, my list would look something like this (in no particular order):

- 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula (seriously), followed very closely by 1971-1973 Formulas, followed very closely by 1974 Formulas
- 1967/1968 Pontiac Firebird 400
- 1970 Pontiac GTO, followed very closely by a Tempest
- 1980 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (has body lines shared with 78-79, but I prefer the quad headlamps like latter cars)
- 1989-1991 Pontiac Grand Am (coupe), followed very closely by 1985-1988 Grand Am coupes
- 1993-1997 Pontiac Firebird Firehawk, followed very closely by 1996-1997 Formula 'WS6' cars
- pre-1960 VW 'Type 1' (aka: Beetle or Bug); the older the cooler to me
- Porsche 356; the older the cooler to me
- Lamborghini Miura
- A late model Dodge Challenger R/T or SRT

And I'd kinda like to own an old two door, manual transmission Chevette... think of it along the same vein as the VW or Porsche, I know they are not fast...

I'd also love to have a wagon, or wagon-esque Pontiac of some sort, but I don't know enough about them to know which years/models, nothing too big (so no 1973-1977's, even though they could have cool fold up third row seating, or cool "disappearing" rear door);
I've really liked reading of late in 'Smoke Signals' about the 55-57 Pontiac Safari (think Chevrolet Nomad)...
Actually I have appreciated more exposure to earlier Pontiac's through 'Smoke Signals'...

I think I like cars a bit too much.

Whoops! I just noticed the "let's keep it before the 1980's" bit... At the risk of scorn, I'll just leave my four infractions there, otherwise my list might seem too miniscule! lol

Thanks for this one Rebel, I never knew this story, seems like if it hadn't been made the Z/28 may never have been the icon it is today.
