Miss my CJ-5. Came with the little 232 straight six which didn't have the power to pull the hat off your head; so I swapped it for a BUILT 360 V-8 and never had to worry about power again. Pulled the steel body off and replaced it with a fiberglass tub and one piece front-end, swapped tranny, rear-ends, you name it and it was beefed up or replaced. Basically jacked up the radiator cap and replaced everything else... then threw the cap and bought a new one. 375 HP at the rear wheels on the dyno and less than 2000# with me in it. I used to love the looks on the kids faces in their shiny "muscle" cars when my mud laden Jeep left them standing at the light.

I really don't, but in my area of the rust belt 95% of Camaro owners are the redneck types. They are the laughing entertainment to many sadly and I just don't like that kind of attention.

Yeah, I kinda miss the 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T 440 that I bought brand new.
But then, I kinda miss the '63 Corvair Spyder that I traded in on the Dodge.
I definitely wish I still had the Dodge Club Cab short narrow box pickup I had. I put a complete 3/4 ton running gear under that thing. It was a great little truck.
There are SO many others...

That is a coincidence... the '69 Dodge Coronet R/T 440 is my favorite muscle car! I sure wish I owned one.

It can do things a Corvair could never do, like run a 100 mph trap speed 1/4 mile.

That's like saying I've yet to see any 455 last as long as the 3.8 liter. Although the "worthy" boosted 6 Buick Regals didn't come stock with wire hubcaps, they held their own against anything out there when new and can still hold their own against many performance engines today...all very unsuspectingly....no V8 sound, just the sound of a docile 6 that only makes a warning cry in the form of a nasty hiss when the go pedal is floored....which does make for a perfect sleeper when in a toned down T-type or maybe when transplanted into a G body station wagon.
