What's your dream custom vehicle?

[pontiacgp]

Hmmm, there are several but a couple on the short list.

1962 Biscayne 2 door sedan, fuel injected 409/6-speed, COPO style but updated amenities
1969 Impala 2 door, frost green/black interior. Fuel injected LS7/6-speed auto, pro-touring suspension/wheels/tires.
1950 Belair 50's/60's style chopped top custom, I have a hankering to chop a top. Old school SBC/3 dueces, bass boat paint, and looooooow

Drove a 69 like this in high school

I had one of those with a 307 2 speed transmission, that is great car but they sure weren't concerned about getting any peripheral vision with the headlights at night.....🙂

Haha, That Charger looks just like my dad's old charger. He had a 72 Charger SE with a 383 and 727. Like you i still love that car. Dont see many of those body styles around at all.

When I was in high school in the late 1970's and my dad said "we need to find a '72 Charger R/T with a factory sunroof". I found a '70 440-4 SE R/T Challenger at a car show in the mid 1980's with a factory sunroof and the guy wanted $3,500 for it (I figured this was as close I was going to get) and my dad says "too much".

Turns out dad just didn't like Challengers and only liked Chargers. He told me that later. 99% of people given the choice between a '70 Challenger 440 and an '72 Charger 440 take the Challenger. Dad is the 1%.

Maybe something like this pro touring LS powered 62' Vette just buy it and drive it.

Wait...it already exists

But why? Oh well it's already gutted for a tube chassis

Wait...it already exists

That would be perfect for the bike crazied mayor of Pittsburgh. I could see it on the Blvd Of The Allies if he would get a bike lane there.

68-72 Chevy single cab 4 wheel drive pick up, A/C, 4 Speed with granny, V-8 with a couple extra ponies. Just a cool neat original truck with few frills

Me? Nothing. But I want to, eventually. I'd be fine with a 350ish horse 350. But you'd need lots and lots of head porting, or the new aluminum heads, ported. SP3 intake, or custom intake, nascar rods, (or molnar rods), custom crankshaft, custom pistons, etc. It's just normal hotrod stuff, but 3x as expensive. It won't be as streetable as say a 300-400 horse motor, but it can easily be done given the dough. There is a guy that has a 1021 horse 350 with twin turbos. In terms of "holy sh*t that cost a lot", I'd say Buick stuff is in the top 5 for sure.

Oh I see. I thought you meant you already had a 500hp Buick 350... Yeah I would think building a Buick 350 would cost a fortune! You can build a 400hp 350 SBC for pretty cheap with junkyard Vortec iron heads. The heads is where everything gets expensive. With a Buick 350, what would the best cylinder heads be that aren't aftermarket? There never really was a "high performance" Buick 350 was there? So would the pre-smog heads be the best?
