I really like the heavyweights although I'm probably in the minority. I have several and still looking. They are great drivers.

I like full size muscle cars. Have a couple sitting in my garage that I'll never part with.

These were so rare on mainstreet USA. As a kid growing up in the '70s, the only introduction to these cars was the Rat Fink stickers.....which could make any car look cool. Those stickers did peek my curiosity and I became aware...but wouldn't grow to appreciate till I became a bit bored of repetition.

When I was in high school my friends dad had a 70 or so Buick Wildcat with a 455 in it. That car would fly on the top end. We’d get it up to 120 mph all the time.

I also like the big cars with big motors, this is one of my favorites. It's a 60 Pontiac Ventura Tri Power, 4 speed. Special order '59 Pontiac Mandalay Red paint. Photo of the car was taken at the Greenbriar Concourse show last year

In the mid-late '60's one of the quicker stock/un-modified cars in town was a '66 Catalina 2plus2 tri-carb 421 (376hp IIRC?) 4 speed with 3.73. It would hook up and be gone!:3gears:

One of our special Invitational displays at MCACN this year is Big Body Muscle. I personally LOVE a big-body big block 4-speed!

We have some really neat and some really rare and unexpected cars joining us.

If you own one of these, please consider joining us.

One of my first cars was a 62 Bonneville with the interior colors almost exactly like Tommy's 59 Ventura. I loved the clear sides on the steering wheel. I was only a teenager when I saw the car for sale while out driving one day and bought it for $1200. When I got it home to my parents house, the garage door wouldn't close because it was too long. The trunk on these cars is massive. Came in handy when sneaking friends into the drive-in. LOL

Good eye, I know some people love this option but I love the look of the seat
without them, also one of the features I love most about My 70 Z28, Low seats

Looks like you are in the majority! I like the big Hulks. I've always wanted an L72 Biscayne.

This was the biggest one I ever owned. It was a Pro Street car. A 502 Ramjet motor with a Pro Charger got it down the street and was backed by 700R 4 with a 3800 convertor. A shortened Dana 60 held the 16 X 32 Sportsmans on the ground. The color was a Green Pearl but as you can tell it looked more blue then green. It had tan leather interior with a 8 point cage. I bought the car complete as you see it. I sold the aluminum GM heads to a buddy of mine and replaced them with Trick Flow heads. I broke the motor in without the blower. It felt like a mid 11 second car and pulled like a bitch in high gear. A friend of a friend heard about the car and came to my shop and bought it with out the blower. I sure wish I had made a couple of passes at the track before I sold it.

I to appreciate these "large" cars. My first car back in '83 was a 1968 Plymouth GTX convert clone. Car was built by the guy who crashed his 1968 GTX 440/hemi 4sp, Dana 4:10 and swap everything even suspension out. Loved that car, best off both worlds. Space, style and performance. Sold it about '86 to get an education. Knew where it was till about 2017. Then the owner passed away and car was sold.

CURRENT owner contacted me last fall and car is still mostly the way I had it, but turned it back to Sport Satellite.

When I sold it pic and current owner picture from last fall. NOTE grill changed, wheel-well chrome removed as well as GTX badges.

After posting that chevy, I found a big boat muscle car I wish I owned. It is likely the best one I have ever seen. Someone got real lucky as its sold.
