(5,364 posts)My all time favorites would be the 1970 Buick GSX ( Stage 1 engine of course ), the 1970 Olds 442 W-30, and a 1969 Pontiac GTO with Ram Air III or Ram Air IV. got a soft spot in my heart for the AMC Javelin, Rebel, and Hurst Rambler too.
Chevrolets were more well known, less expensive, had a larger dealer network and were thus more popular, but the "BOP" cars as they are called ( Buick Olds Pontiac ) were a lot nicer overall IMO in terms of exterior styling, interiors, and ran as good or better than any Chevelle if you checked the right boxes. I do like the '70 Chevelle SS though. Don't know why they had to ruin the quad headlight look of the '70 by going to those bug-eye single lamps of '71-'72.
Really though; with all cars from all makes getting rarer, I will never turn up my nose to any car due to brand loyalty. They're all great.
Only thing that really burns my ass....and it does...is that so many people have a fixation on their monetary value, and not enough on the cars themselves. To some, they're just a commodity. That's wrong. They need to be driven and enjoyed.
