    I finally convinced my old man that it is time to pick out a hot rod to work on this summer " in my favor" but we have such a mixed look on what we like. Out of the 20 cars or so we picked out- these are the 4 that I am stuck between. Let me know what you think.

    Here are the links for the cars. A 1972 Nova, 1969 Caprice,a 1972 malibu/chevelle, and a 1965 Impala.

    Buy a reaaaaaaal shitty 80s car and fix that up, then you'll know how to do nice cars well.

    Impala is the only one among those that has more or less presentable design. Others are just ugly.

    Mmmmm... I felt the same Vadim... but I thought it about the Chevelle... really, it's the only car that's got more or less the correct proportions and seems like a what a semi-muscle car must look like...

    Really Guys? Cause a caprice is a luxory version of the Impala, which edventually become more popular untill the impala was no more.

    My friend graden has a 1990 Chevy Caprice police interceptor, lowered on 18's. And I really dont care for it. Id rather have the classics.

    AFI, once again, your stupidity shows. What 80's cars are worth the time? The 1985 "area" Monte Carlo's are cool. Chevy s-10's are alright, but small. There is the 5.0 Mustang, but the body style isnt the best. And 80's camaros just downright had alot of probloms "can you say t-tops that never stop leaking?". There are a few lincolns I like- but they wont help me in the quest for a hotrod "despite the song hot rod lincoln." and the cadillac eldarados are front wheel drive, and as every true american knows, front wheel drive sucks.

    Get the Chevelle, allsop.

    The Nova s front is butt ugly, looks like 1968 Opel Kadett ;P

    Allsop are you really relying on some unknown European guys that only saw those cars in 70s B-movies and that consider you more or less a woodpecker to buy your next ride? You're brave enough! :)

    Caprice, if you feel gay. It looks gayish. Or a pusher car. A gay pusher car...

    Nova, if you feel confident to came out as a winner in a knife fight with whom insults you for the uglyness of your car. Reuben it's right, it looks like the old Opel Kadett!

    Impala, if you have a girfriend and think to have a baby anytime soon, the most family-car looking.

    Chevelle, get this one. It's ugly like the other three but at least pretend to be a sporty car even in the look. Please, not in gray tone...

    ;)

    Nova! But I'd paint it black w/white racing stripes, put a set of vintage Cragar mags on there, and run the eight-track :)

    Here's what you really need: http://www.fast-autos.net/dodge/daytona7.jpg

    Wow, need to watch "Bullitt" again :)

    At least I'm not a 16 year old bumpkin from the NW US whose life revolves around playing a video game and rebuilding shitty cars.

    No one cares about what car you rebuild.

    That is, unless you rebuild it and get into a fatal car accident with it. In that case, I suggest you get anything without an air bag.
