So what is your favorite Oldschool car?

I hve to say mine was a 69 Nissan Skyline Gt-r. I remember the first time i seen one was year 1992 (age 16) oh Hwy 58 in okinaway japan. It was up against a 70 nissan z. both cars sounded so monster like, that it gave me the biggest smile. Even thougth i will never admit to my friends in japan that my favorite old school is a Nissan, since they use to give me hell for getting a 92 turbo rx7 back in 95 and they all got nissan silvia and 180sx.

Any how i wont forget that day when i seen this car. what was the car that you can remember seeing and just brought a big smile? Well its time for me to head out of the office. Enjoy the weekend all.

Let's see:

1967 Plymouth Satellite Hemi
1963 Plymouth Savoy (w/ 413 wedge)
1963 Cadillac Park Avenue Sedan
1972 Lancia Fulvia HF
and we need a convertible, perhaps the greatest of all time: The Jaguar XK-E

I recently sold my first car (87 Starion). That to me will always be my favorite old school car (tes I'm partial). That was was so hot back in the day it turned heads right and left. Even to this day when fixed up to look nice, it still turns heads, and draws a lot of attention. Damn fast too when modded. I truly miss that car, but I couldn't endure the reliability nightmares any longer, after 24 years of bittersweet ownership.

Old School Rotary is somewhat like Military Intelligence....
... an Oxymoron.
Rotary cars weren't really worth a crap until 1993 and the dual turbo...

OK, flame me... just my opinion

^ youre kidding me right? do you know anything about the FB and FC and how much potential they have? sure they werent as powerful as the FD but they had the same potential of making the same power with only a few mods. they handle great and they were pretty damn light and it was pretty impressive since the FB's (especially the GSL-SE) and FC's were damn fast back in its days and they would come up to first place in every road race with the cars in their class... and its 1993 TWIN turbo... and the 13b-RE/W design was basically almost the same as the FC's 13BT... soo.. maybe you should do a little studying on the history of the rotary.

^^^ No.., I'm not kidding.
Any car has potential with "only a few Mods."
My knowledge of Rotary power is somewhat limited because I've only owned a
93 RX7 (when you were 3 years old), an 04 RX8 and my current 06 RX8...
Prior to that, I had no desire in own anything rotary.
As I mentioned earlier, it's my opinion.
If you want to defend the FB and the FC's, knock yourself out.
You're not going to change my mind...
