    I don't know if it's my favorite, but if I was in the market for a car--this is what I'd buy!!

    1967 Dodge corenet 500. 727 transmission with a bored out 318 ci v8. Basically a 318 machined to a 360. Modified motor mounts ( due to high torque) it's a sleeper.

    1962 R3 Studebaker Avantis are nice.
    In 62 they broke 29 U.S. speed records at the Salt Flats.

    My 1970 VW Camper Van never looked this good.
    upload_2025-10-14_12-8-44.png
    I owned 4 of these camper vans. I'd love one of the new ones! It's not just a car, it's a home away from home!

    The one I owned like this I sold for the same price I bought it ($1000), after years of living in it and trashing it. A restored one like this is probably worth $20,000 or more!

    I had a chance to buy one imported from Germany a few years ago.
    It had a Corvair engine and complete camper set up. All original interior/exterior with pristine owner's manual, jack, etc.

    It was a really good price, but I was afraid of maintenance on that Corvair set up.

    How and Why would a German VW have a Corvair engine? They must be extinct.

    I owned a VW Syncro van, 4x4. It was a beast, best camper van ever. I sold it with 160,000 miles for more than I paid for it. Today refurb Syncros sell for 30k, I paid 3k! The tranny was made by Daimler Benz with a super low first gear and rear locking differential. Great travel van, still miss it.
