I'd send my 65 GMC short fleetside to Kindig or Foose and have them yank the 5.3 and install the latest Pontiac set up that Butler has to offer with fuel injection of course. Then I'd let them exercise their killer design creativity for the truck and pick one, or buy another 65 and let both of them do one each. One for me, one for the Mrs , Lol

I might do an LT4 with toploader and a Dana 60 just to piss everyone off equally. Then paint it non standard colors.

Probably all of them would have all the modern conveniences like rack & pinion steering, new suspension, A/C, cruise, Pwr windows and locks, fuel injected, and boost. Anything else to make it an enjoyable daily driver.


Who am I kidding! I am not sure I could not pry any of my winnings from my wifes littles fists.Lol

Last one I did myself took me 6 years to do.
I'm not giving that kind of commitment if I'm a billionaire. Already sold the rotisserie so I'm not going back....
I would have Counts Kustoms build one for me. Point them at a 67 Bird and tell em to let it rip!
No limit budget.

His and Hers? Not bad.

I'd go with concours correct and F.A.S.T. inspired recreations to match.
Because twins and sleepers.

Mine would be a 57 Starchief with an Art Morrison pro touring style frame. Black with a white painted top. Subtle changes to the body to tighten up the lines, bumpers and trim. Custom interior with A/C. Drivetrain would be an aluminum block with DCI RAM AIR V top end and some sort of fuel injection. I would go with an overdrive auto trans. The car would be able to drive long distances reliably and cruise at 80+ mph all the way!

That's it in a nutshell!! I'd love to finish the car I already have but my "better half" is very quick on her little feet and persuasive to boot. Ah well, dreams are nice.

I would buy my local dragstrip before it eventually shuts down and build a shop and a house there and keep on working on my car but make it look stock appearing.

Same here, the FFR Daytona has been on my mind for long time. I think I would have to go with a Cleveland based engine.

My wife would encourage me to buy all the car stuff I wanted, & to share it with friends.

And, I'd encourage her to buy all the stuff she wanted, and to help those she chose.

I realize that our relationship is not the average. I consider it, & her, truly a blessing from God. And I don't take it for granted.

I like the 55 idea also. I'd buy a gasser Art Morrison frame. Don't they make new bodies also? Darn sure would NOT have a hemi in it like Mike Finnigan's. An all all minim Pontiac would do, or a large cube SBC..

My wife is very generous until it comes to Lola, my 65 LeMans. She gets real mean when it comes to spending it on Lola.Lol

Pro touring 1970 Superbird clone with a modem hemi and manual trans. Might even do a convertible.

Pro touring 72 LeMans Wagon with F41 rubber nose and a LS drivetrain

Pro touring mid year Vette coupe with a very high power LS drivetrain.

Yeah, I would start with a fleet, then fill in the gaps with customs. CadZilla would be on my list!

There's a handful of convertibles I would want too, 59 Cad, 67 GTO, 67 Coronet, 65 2+2, the list is just too long.

Doubt I would ever be happy with just one car.

After I purchased my OO 70 Judge and Lucy Blue 70 TA... I would purchase two Pontiac bodied retired Pro Stock rollers and build Poncho engines for them. My kids would be in the drivers seats. We would go have fun!
