    Well If I wanted a Brinks Armored Truck I’d want a classic like the one robbed by the Black Liberation Army back in 1981 in which they got away with 1.6 million dollars

    these were cool. gmc/chevy were a bit more substantial though. this would work for me just fine.

    most of the early class c's were ok too.

    A Dodge Stealth turbo. Bet a lot of people don't even remember this car existed. The American auto works union was not too found of it because it's mostly Japanese parts. Probably never got a fair shake.

    It was basically a Mitsubishi 3000gt.

    It was an awesome car back in the day. It'd be nice if Mitsubishi stopped messing around with the cheap shit they're building and exporting now, and go back to making amazing cars once again.

    The 3000Gt was a dream car for two friends as teenagers. The Stealth was more rare and apparently had better aerodynamics which is about all Dodge personally designed on the car. Either car is heavy and prone to problems. All that 90's tech is not so good now but I still want it. A few tweeks and it's making a lot more power.

    I'm quite fond of Jeep Wagoneers. This is what an SUV should look like

    burned too much gas, as did gm, chevy, ford, dodge versions, but at least it was long enough to actually hall something. faved for the immage of the location more then the vehicle. ansil adams had the corn binder (international harvister version, yes they made one too, the last few years before they ceased to be a name on a truck) to carry all those huge cameras he used to lug around yusemitie and other places he took all those famous pictures. met him some place where he was doing so. i forget where it was, but some place near there.

    well the kind of cargo van i would want would to, and yes this is the kind of place i would want to live that i would need it to haul stuff to. although nissan and toyota products, the trucks and vans, are built to do so too, while burning a bit less gas in the process. and the nissan (trucks) have, or had in that era, a 'can't bust em' ton or more suspension system, and you could put a skid pan under the engine to protect the oil pan.
    i'd also want a power take off wench on the front (lots of uses in building things, as well as hauling yourself out of mud holes) and a bardon bumper with a trailer hitch on the back.

    sometimes i just wish i was young enough not to worry i'd fall asleep at the wheel and kill someone if i ever had one again.
    (mostly so i could live someplace like that picture instead of being stuck in damd cities)

    Official pace car for racing which is why the auto union got so upset. That's a high profile thing for car that is not American. Dodge used their Viper instead a car twice as expensive, handled worse, and only a little faster at the time. But it was built by the union. That's why I think the Stealth got cheated.
