1966 Corvette 427. I had this car in 1976. This is one that I wish I still had.

drove one of these for about 15 years (from as soon as i had my license, to almost the end of graduate school).

except it didn't have the cool white racing stripe.

or the playboy bunny.

That's what you had to drive back then to get a whopping 27 mpg. Who says things haven't improved?

The 55-57 Chevy Nomad Bel Air is my dream muscle car - A 2 door station wagon - how cools is that?

We could have another thread on sleeper cars. My cousin had a 68 Plymouth Duster that would flat haul.

Radials, which weren't standard stuff back then. IIRC the Batmobile was a very modified Lincoln.

Same bat tires. Same bat channel.
