Little rusty, but hey.

I'd drop an LS/4L60E in it and drive it just like that.

Lookin' at that brings back a lot of bad memories. :nono:

What could be bad about that? It is a post-war dream machine.

As mentioned earlier, the '51 my brothers and I had was a nightmare of thrown rods.

I actually like the style of the '49 through '51 Chevys, the '51 had some neat little chrome pieces at the side of the parking lights that really set it off nicely.  Swap in an old Ford Flathead and it would be perfect, even an old Pontiac Flathead.

If I bought a Humvee I'd ditch the diesel in favor of a 572 big block Chevy

This is awesome:

Yes, Chrysler/Desoto had some pretty mind-blowing styling going for them in the, especially, late '50s.  Quite a bit more adventurous than GM or Ford.

I would love this for a daily driver:

That's amazing- and one of only two 4-doors at that time that were faster than the Ford Taurus SHO.
If I remember right, the SHO started at $20k, this M5 $46k, and 7er started in the $7xk.

I love those old old beasts, straight 8 with dynaflow.

As I've likely mentioned before, a friend (Eddie from the Rock) bought a '51 Buick so he could learn to drive and get his license; I was his driving instructor, likely why I'm still a nervous passenger.  Had a lot of un in that car.

Sexy AF. GT3 but without the boy racer stuff.

I think I'm gonna replace the Miata with a 911 in like 5 years. I can even justify it as a practical move, AWD + get one with a backseat. :lol:

Now: Bolt & Miata
5 years: Rivian R1S & 911

In 5 years, you're going to have 2, $50k+ cars just for yourself?  I need to get in on this money plan you have :lol:

2 people... And we have 4 cars right now. :lol: In 5 years it'll be down to 3 (two DD's plus the El Camino), I don't think the Mazda6 will still be around by then.

Car goals motivate me to figure out how to make more money. But I'd definitely get a used 911. Probably a fairly base 996 or 997 and just put some nice HRE wheels on it.

MrH

Base 997s still fetch like $40k+.  I can't justify one for how pricey they are.  As much as I love cars, having 6 figures tied up in them doesn't make sense at this point in my life.  I need to be a lot, lot richer to be ok with it.

Gamestonk is the answer to affording a base 997 🚀

Here's an interesting vehicle, plus it's a coupe. Kind of rare. Looks mostly original, too.



My favorite Aunt bought one of these new. I was intrigued by it back in '68.  This car would, IMHO be a good investment.

It has an Italian look to it.  Quite nice.
