What is your dream S/SS car?
 
If you were to build your dream car, what would it be? Been thinking for the last week what my next project will be and in doing so my mind wandered into what amazing (to me) race cars are out there just waiting to be built. An amazing Hemi car would be great since my dad loves the Mopars and they are so feared and revered as a muscle car. However, I love the GM contingent as the Chevelle was my first through sixth car in my life and my first taste of a project with my dad. As a child I have fond memories of riding between my parents in a 67 Corvette on the "hump" out for Sunday drives, it was my favorite car. So with that being said, I looked through the classracerinfo.com guide and can honestly say an A-AA/S 1967 Corvette will be my choice. What's yours?

1963 Max Wedge Lightweight Plymouth or perhaps a some type of Challenger Drag Pack...

Of course just getting what I already have on the track would be nice!

Call me crazy, but my favorite car of all time. A Superbird. I don't know if it could even be made competitive but it would be a head turner.

A 1963 Pontiac 421 S.D. Catalina, just replace the "swiss cheese" frame with a convertable one to stiffen up the car.I just need to win the lottery before I can get to upset the museum and chalk mark folks. John Kissel K242

64 Ford Galaxie 'R' code Lightweight! It's even in the guide. Natural B/S car.
I doubt it could be made competitive but it would be fun trying.

I have 2 an old version and a newer version. The old one would a 66 Corvette big block 4 speed super stock car with all the modern chassis updates. The new one would be a 00 FRC corvette LS1 stick super stock car. I just love how those cars look especially when it's done up as a race car.

I've built a couple LS street cars and they are very impressive. A new Vette would be awesome.

Yeah I have a turbo LS fox body street car that we've gone mid 5's in the 1/8. Then I've had a carb'd LS S10 street truck and had my hands in a couple other street turbo builds as well. Love the platform. Would love to do a super stock version.

Already drove it and waved goodbye to it: a certain red '65 Plymouth A990 Belvedere SS/BA car.

MEXJOE 12-15-2017 06:49 PM

Re: What is your dream S/SS car?
 
Just for the heck of it,
1981 AMC eagle With 4 slicks. That would turn some heads. And scratch a few....
HAHAHH!

As a diehard Ford fan, I agree 100%, especially in SS/A like Ray Pacquet or SS/B like Dallas Kelly (take a look at my avatar).

Re: What is your dream S/SS car?
 
Well, if I am fortunate to return to competition after a LONG time away, and it is NOT in a small block Mopar SS car, here is a combo which I have always found fascinating, especially given the power reduction:

62 Dart, 330, Polara etc. (Or a Plymouth version)

383/343 CA Police Pkg. for SS (Bad manifold for Stock)

Bob Henry from Syracuse is one of the few who ran this combo years ago in HA in this area.

This is of course an INLINE dual 4 barrel combo. Think sheetmetal manifold which is essentially a tunnel ram setup. Light car for its size.

I would think this may be a very interesting combo.

Yeah, a black one, and run it in GT, with an alum head 428. :)

We saw the original Packin Poncho, back in the mid '70's, at the IHRA finals in Amarillo, TX.

Art Peterson has one that could be converted. That's the only '69 GTO I can think of, that has run in the last few years. Not very competitive hp factors, for Stock or SS, unless you run in GT.
