Didn't you ask this a few/several months ago? Maybe not here, as I think I've seen it before.....
Since high school, that has been my favorite-looking american hot rod. Close second is the '70 split bumper - which the neighbor kid across the street had (bought in '87 or 8), in much the same performance range as yours. He'd take big blocks off the line. I took him to first see it, and the guy had straight headers on it. He said one reason he was selling it was because the old lady next door called the cops every time he started it up. We could barely hear each other inside it, yelling at the top of our lungs.
When I was a kid, my favorite hot rod was the Matchbox or Hotwheels candy apple red and white topped, I think, '70 Challenger. Also, a teacher at my high school had a sort of maroon-brown stock Olds 442, with round tail lights (which I have not seen another since). Loved that car.
I've never had anything fast, but nowadays if money were no option I might have, I want to say, an Aston Martin Valkyrie...something like that. 200+ mph, but four doors, and luxury that beats about anything. But my '95 Lexus ES300 is actually the car I wanted when it came out, and now they're so cheap, as are parts, relatively speaking.
