Bret,

Here's another one from the land of partial reality:

PT Cruiser with the SRT6 blown Mercedes 6cyl and rear wheel drive.

Jim,
I think this thread should be called "Can You Top This Musclecar"
I'll give your PT Cruiser a run...
Here goes,,
1954 Mivalino,, with a ZL-1.
I'm not sure, what weighs more, the car or the engine???
And you only need (3) wheels...
Who would drive that car.??,,

I knew somebody that had this exact combo in a '65 Chevy II, 12 bolt posi, street gears and skinny tires... I don't think it was ever pointed straight, lol!

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

If they only could have kept them from rusting here up north. I had a 4spd. 283 SS Nova in HS. It was only 5 years old and needed two quarters due to rust!

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

That was around 74 or 75 and the car's sheetmetal was good. However my family had a 63 Chevy II SW that was bought used in 65 and rusted through in 69 when it got replaced.

Paul,

Since we're in the twilight zone I'll see your Mivalino and raise you one Messerschmitt with an aluminum hemi and one goodyear slick.....and a prayer!

Jim,
You out did me with the 'buzz-bomber'.
Lots of Chevy II's mentioned. I do remember a 1967 Chevy II SS
with only a 283/195HP 2-barrel 4-speed. Did they make Super Sports
with only the 283 2-barrel.
Ran in M/S, I think in 1969.

Paul,

A car I always wanted to build but could never afford it: 1955 Chevy 2 dr Sedan with a complete street Hemi, 4sp, and dana..........a sleeper!

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

Jim,
You like putting Hemi's in the Chevy's.. I think that is illegal in some states:).
Almost done by my father in 1970, a nice little street-sleeper, he wanted to take my mothers 1964 Plymouth V-100 Valiant station wagon,
red-colored with the push-button transmission. Re-do it with a
Keith-Black 305, and tunnel-ram, and Vitar transmission. I think it would have been classed in F/MP.
The plan, was that the Corner Deli was only a 1/4 mile away, and my father figured that my mother could get there in 11.50 for the fresh
Canoli's on Sunday morning:eek:
It still would make a nice sleeper, minus the tunnel-ram.
Paul,,,,Keep the hits coming!!!
