July 8, 20178 yr @A Horse With No Name gave me a challenge. Here it is! For July 4 Celebrations!!! Rules: 1. Pick a brand. Just 1 brand. A pure red blooded AMERICAN brand. Be it Ford or Chevrolet. Or Dodge. 10 cars any era, any concepts, anything from that brand. 2. No corporate sister brands are allowed. 3. These are your garage queen, museum grade show cars and/or Sunday drivers and/or daily drivers. 4. Have fun! Edited July 8, 20178 yr by oldshurst442

July 10, 20178 yr I really wanted to use Pontiac or Chevy, but unfortunately, they just don't have the diversity I would need to fill a 10 car collection. Also, I'm including my DD's Raptor New GT Old GT GT350R Terminator Focus RS LE Falcon XR8 RS200 Mustang GT Vert Boss 302

Yeah, noticed that...I could probably come up with an all-GM list (if not limited to a single brand) and a Mopar list, but for a single brand Ford has the most that interest me... I can easily come up with a GM or Mopar list that has models from several brands in each list, but sticking to one brand is very limiting. Edited July 11, 20178 yr by Cubical-aka-Moltar

I feels your pain, but it becomes too easy to do corporate siblings.This way, ya'll thought about what it is that you actually like and need. Including myself. In fact, Im still switching from Pontiac to Chevy to Ford, back to Pontiac then Chevy then Ford. Id wanna do Dodge or Chrysler, but there is a problem that I run into with those two....from about the late 1970s to mid 1990s, MOPAR aint exactly high on my list....plus even today...other than a Hellcat and a 300C, not much enthusiasm. So I thinks Ill be doing Chevy since Pontiac is no longer with us. 1) 1957 Chevrolet 2 door or convertible, stock numbers matching Fuelie or restomodded pro-toured Hot Rod. 2) Ultra rare 1970 Camaro 396 SS or restomodded protoured 3) 1961 Impala SS 409 4) 1969 Yenko Chevelle 5) 1967 427 Impala SS 6) 1969 427 Vette or restomod 7) 2017 SS 8 ) 1959 Vette 9) 2017 Impala 10) 1970 Monte Carlo 454SS Edited July 12, 20178 yr by oldshurst442
