A '67 Camaro?

Good choice. For a Camaro, I would pick a '69 with a 396 big block engine.

My 327 blew the doors off 396's. I do like 67's thru 70 or 71' . I did have a great Chevy mechanic/machinist. The only other stock car to beat me was a 440 Charger and a 454 vette. Believe me I raced many, many cars.

396 Camaros are easily capable of 14-second 1/4 miles. I don't think the 327s were quite as fast as that (stock).

Here is one reason I like the '69 396 Camaro: With a 4-speed manual transmission and 4.88 gears, a test Camaro ran an excellent 13.00 @ 108.62 mph 1/4 mile in the Supercars Annual '69 magazine. 0-60 in 4.9 seconds (on 1960s tires, too).

-- BMW (always liked the look of the 318i)
-- Lexus (they LOOK cool and expensive)

Never driven any car in either line, so I choosing blind

[The Continental]

I'd want to go with a Vette or Auburn, but to be a little more practical, 1959 Eldorado Biarritz.

Since the OP was talking about brands....tough one. Based on what they are producing right now today, I'd have to with Audi.

[mortpes]

A truck popular across generations due to parts availability.

Well, they stopped making the XLR-V.

That was a great car on many levels. It wasn't perfect. There are things I'd change. But if it's one car till I die, it hits enough of the points.

A new Jaguar XJ. A very classy looking car imo.
