(Just make sure you've got proper seat belts and enough brakes if you're taking somebody for a ride - especially if there's going to be cameras on board.)

I know I said the Mach One was my favorite of the batch but to be honest, I would actually own a more subdued Pro/Street machine like this Vega. Nicely tubbed, a great rubber rake, a smallish 6-71 sticking out of the hood and some polished Centerlines.

Yep, this car is my type of this type of car (even if this isn't my type of car these days like it was when I was 15-17).

If I was going to have an old America muscle/pony style car, I'd rather have a restomod style car, modern motor that makes good power and is reliable, good brakes, and upgraded suspension, so it would hopefully, make a good driver that has some of the great character of these old cars.
