I'd be happy with fiberglass parts to supercede the aluminum front end parts on the early '63-'64 B-bodies. And SS package cars to fill in around the '62-'65 and '67-'68 models. 1970-71 Duster and Demon SS packages with Race Hemi's and 440-6 combos with functional air scoops, Aspen and Volare SS package cars with 440-4 and DANA 60.

I'll add a few for the mix....

I remember the Baldwin/Motion Vega's of the 70's, and think one of them with that 350 4bolt main small block would've been a screamer!!! I bought (and raced) an I4 '76 Vega...great memories I made with that combo, however it would've been great to have a V8!

Or how about a Ford Pinto with a 351 Cleveland motor in it? It worked for Bob Glidden didn't it?

Or how about this crazy one, a 340-360 V8 in a Plymouth Arrow?

How about this wacky one, a '69 Corvair with a 327 & either the Muncie 4spd or a powerglide??? That would've been very cool too....

1968 Hemi Camaro for Super Stock. Big block , Arias heads , crossram with Holleys. Minimum build for Super Stock. Would have been fun to watch with the Mopars even today.

I just wish Chevrolet would've put a cowl induction hood on the 68-72 Novas,,,ever wonder why you don't see any Big Block Novas in SS? That flat hood could be why,,,would've loved to see an L-88 or ZL-1 Nova from that era. It might 've given SS/AH Darts and Cudas a run for their money.
I've got a guy out here thats going to try it anyway, with a 396 combo. Hes trying to find an intake that will clear with a Holley on it. Might have to lower the engine a little,,,I'll keep my fingers crossed for him.

My wish. 1969 GTO 428, Ram Air IV top end, m22, 4.56 12 bolt rear. Come get some,lol.

Had a customer w a 69 Judge auto w a dealer installed 428 bottom end documented from dealer car. He drove it every day in the late 80's.

455 Stage 1 Buick Opel,lol.

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

BBC 79 GM F-body. Even the 454 truck motor would have be unreal.
We did the conversion with pickup truck parts,crate motor and 454 flat intake.

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

Harrel & Yenko DID build a few L-88 Novas --met a guy who had one at a car show here. Beautiful car. He said he had the chance to talk to Dick Harrel before he died ---said Harrel told him he only built about 10 or 12 of 'em as they were too lethal to run on the street. The brakes & suspension weren't up to safely handling that much power but I'm sure a drag only car would've been great. But these weren't COPO cars so they wouldn't qualify for Stock or S/S even if he had built enough of 'em. They're kinda like the big-block Vegas Motion built ---not stock by any means, lots of fun but just over the edge (even back then) for streetibility

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

I like the 455 Opel idea, LOL ! I own an unusual 65' Olds 98 ragtop with factory air, power everything and it just happens to have a 425c.i./375hp Super Rocket engine from the factory. Really neat car. I've been thinking of selling it and my kids keep telling me no Dad, you can't, LOL Well, I can...........at least I think I can

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

If you do sell it, you bettercheck first how many they made. I don't recall of ever hearing of a convertible with one of those engines---yours might be the only one!
