A TR7 doesn't need a V8, The owner of this '80 TR7 wreaked it within a week of delivery after a Series II 3800/T5 swap. The car was a handful with 200 horsepower!!

I did a Buick 231 swap in a '77 Chevy Luv - That was a fun truck!

Now-a-days, I would have to turbo it...

My 72 chevelle 4 sp with a bench seat and a mild big block w a 4:11 rear end and a hone overdrive was really cool - but not that cool.

I had the FWD version. It was the finest interior i'd ever owned and the red instrument lighting was gorgeous (one reason i bought the Sportage, lol). I miss that Audi too.
 
Even though I loved my 1970 Chevelle SS454 I was ok with getting rid of it because it drove like a truck. Also needed more brakes!

The car I think was the coolest was a 1963 Cutlass ragtop. It turned a lot of heads.

I can think of several I might want to try again...
 
My first, new P/U. A 1975 Chevy step-side. Had the 250 six cylinder. Not a power hog by any means but the absolute best vehicle I've ever owned. Simplicty at it's finest. No air, an AM radio, crank windows and no carpet. Owned that beast for thirteen years and only got rid of it because a work associate over-paid me for it to give to his son. My how I miss that truck. My present wife still remembers, and talks, about that truck to this day. I actually loaned it to my ex wife to move out of my house back in the mid 70's. Good memories indeed.

Yes, my favorite interior and instruments as well. I remember it well. My old pics don't do it any justice.

It hurt still does after 40+ years. A 2018 SRT Challenger Demon would ease the pain.

While I love great equipment, I'm not attached to "things". Every car I've sold was "not that great" and "easily replaced". The new stuff truly is better.

As far as great vehicles I've owned, one stands out as being supremely fun. [not the fastest or the best, just the most fun]

Yamaha IT490 motorcycle with ported cyl and tuned expansion chamber. 232 pounds, 63 RWHP.

It did everything well, had arm straightening torque (something today's bikes can finally match 35 years later) had good long travel suspension and a wide ratio 5 speed trans. And it was light. Something today's fast bikes are not.

Rode it on the trail and I-95. It did everything. Including pulling the front wheel up at 60 just by rolling the throttle on.
