Best Classic Car of All Time

We've done music, so what about cars? What's the best classic car of all time and do you own that car?
My vote is for the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. And, no, I don't own one - they are now going for $50K+!

I learned to drive on a puke green 1965 Rambler. Three speed on the column, no radio, wipers worked if you rolled down the window and gave them a push. But it was my first! Currently, I drive a 1990 Eagle Talon Turbo. I know it is not right to be materialistic, but I sure love that car. It is just my size!

1976 Ford Pinto. No need for a lighter for smokes-it self ignites.  1973 Chevy Vega-nice rust color, oh wait it is rust.  Best car thou has to be to Yugo line.  Or maybe a 69 Chevelle SS with a 302 Vette engine. My friend has one-dark metallic blue. It's a beast.

I would say 2....The 1971 Hemi Cuda convertable (only 7 exist) and the 1963 split rear window vette. No I don't own either. Considering the Cuda goes for about $1 million it's a little out of my range.

Where are the Corvair lovers? It was the only car known to have the engine fall out and pass the driver on the highway.

Dave beat me to it, Grrrr! What about the Javelin? I remember wanting one so bad in high school, it was lavender. My parents decided on the lavender Vega instead, tank of gas (this is the good part-$5.00 and goes for 2 weeks) and can of STP  .

Have to agree with this one.
What color Rusty? I would go with red, but I also like the pale yellow very much also. Not sure if that was offered in '67 or '69, but I like it 'em both anyway.

While I love old Mustangs, I am a "truck guy" so mine would be any old (1950's or 60's) Ford Pickup. I just bought a 2003 F-150 Heritage edition pickup black & red. It is a special edition celebrating Ford's 100 year anniversary and is my dream car/truck!

1966 GTO 4 speed Tri Power with a nice throaty rumble.
Don't have one - just really, really want one.
Any trivia buffs out there know what "GTO" stands for?
