I would like to see wing cars come back. The issue would be license.
Super Performance makes a really nice replica of Cobra and GT40. On their GT40 replica you can swap many parts from original GT40.
They were expensive but a reachable price when 1st offered but then got licensed by Shelby and price went nuts.

A fully loaded "1969" T/C station wagon... T7 Bronze...
Saddle Tan leather heated/power seats, third row seat, power windows, locks, mirrors, A/C climate control w/rear A/C..
Cruise control, tilt/ telescope column, AM/FM 8 Track, factory power sunroof, the "infamous" recall Kelsey wheels, Firestone Redlines, engine would be ...
the "TNT" 440 4bbl, 727 trans. 3.23 8.75" sure-grip....hold the woodgrain please.

What? The latest incarnations of the Challenger, Mustang and Camaro don't satisfy you?

The new ones don't look like the old ones so my money says the originals have better styling and proportions. This goes for all 3 contemporary pony cars as well as the Charger that doesn't look a thing like the old ones did.

This question was about if the same best selling cars back then would still hold true today, or if the consumers today are on a different wave length and would seek out a different type of vehicle instead. Do we see nothing but hugger orange Camaros repeat itself, or has the world seen enough of those cars? I go to car shows and now see people admiring first Gen Broncos and Nash Rambler wagons and other oddball stuff instead of everyone flocking to look at a Mustang coupe, which was once the car everyone had or knew someone who had one.

Reissued. As in BUILT AS THEY WERE IN THE DAY
Other than maybe a more modern engine
Among the Mopar choices I have 2
One has to be a 2 door a body
The other would be the b van

It is most diffidently a different world now. Back then you had less manufactures and models to chose from. I think in today's world most go towards comfort and size. Most manufactures today's cars look a like, you cannot tell a Hyundai from a Toyota or a Lexus.

A 1967 Plymouth GTX with a Hellcat engine.

The ones you can more or less build out of a catalog RN are the ones that would sell the most.

In today's world? Given that everybody and his dog have flocked to SUVs, probably a square body Blazer or Suburban, original Bronco, or 1970s or 80s Wagoneer or Cherokee. Or a Scout?

"Or a Scout?"


i hung around with the guys that ran the "cornbinder" dealership back in the day. [1972ish until ??? when the dealership closed]
one of the funniest scout stories involved beer [of course ! ] the dealership "commander", and a new scout.
one "night" at the local watering hole, the "commander", my used car dealership buddy's and myself and my junkyard crew spent a "little" time there.
this "time" started around 5 o'clock [it's "always 5 o'clock somewhere....... ]. however, i had to leave around 7 or so because i had to go to work at my machinist/shop supervisor job.
well, the rest of the "tribe" stayed until closing time, when they were finally kicked out of this fine establishment.
as the "commander" figured he was the "best qualified" to drive, [] everyone piled into the new scout the "commander" had as a perk of the job, so he could drive them home "safely"....... [ ]
as they were motoring along, someone in the back seat says : "where's [the "commander's name is redacted to protect the guilty] ?"
seems the scout was driving along without having the "commander" behind the wheel, and the driver's door was open !
fortunately, the front seat passenger remembered to grab the wheel, and insert his foot on the brake pedal...........
the scout got stopped safely, and since they couldn't drive safely, considering their "condition", they all piled out of the scout, left it running in the middle of the street, and went looking for the "commander".
a short distance back from whence they came, he was found, wobbling around, trying to brush himself off.
seems that when they went around a short right turn in the street, the "commander" needed something to "steady" himself, so he leaned on the driver's door.
unfortunately, he "leaned" on the door handle, the door opened, and out he went !
luckily, he had enough "elixir" in him he didn't get hurt ! []
so all walked him back to the still running scout, they piled in, and strangely enough, the "commander" delivered them home safely and made it home himself without further incident..........
the next day when the story got out and spread through the "city", "Chief Earl" [the police chief at the time, who was widely respected by all that knew him, whatever "side of the law" they were on] wasn't very happy when he heard it !
"Chief Earl" had a "talk" with all involved, and everyone "behaved much better" from then forward.
this story was told many times in the years after by all involved, including the chief [R.I.P. my friend ! ] and anyone who heard about it, and is still brought up occasionally today, close to 50 years later.
those times were SO different than today, and NO WAY could anyone get away with something like that now !
just a funny story that happened a long time ago when i was a "young punk", and the mention of a "Scout" cleared away some cobwebs in my old noggin, giving me a chuckle from my past.

Thanks for that story! Definitely from another time, a better time when society wasn’t so uptight. Not that drinking and driving was ever a good idea…

Appreciate your sharing that!

Agreed, good story - mainly because they survived.
And yeah - there's several things I - and I bet I could say "we", right ? - did in the '60s through maybe the '80s that I'd never try now !

Yup, around here just smoking your tires could get you a “stunting” charge, resulting in your car being taken from you for a week, a $2500ish fine, and several points off your license. Then once your insurance company gets wind of it, they get their way with you…

We've seen the Challengers, the Mustangs, and the Camaros. It's time to bring back the 55 Belair in both sedan and wagon

Not a big fan of the 55, but I'd like to see both 1957 Chevy and 1957 Ford cheapie two door sedans reproduced. I would take either. Oh, and why not throw in a 1957 Belvedere two door hardtop at the same time.

i would like to see a 55 belvedere post sedan myself. [gasser hot rod, here we come ! ]

Your response proves you lie, lol

Wallow in ignorance my friend.
