Good call Bret!!

If my Mega Millions #s come up tonight...maybe a 1968 Cougar GT-E for me
Even if it can't have a clutch pedal (thanks Larry Hill for pointing that out last time we had this conversation!).

Nick, I've said it for years, if I hit the lotto, I would do a Boss 9. By the way we had a 68 GTE back in the mid 80's. I would take it to Orlando on Test and Tune nights. Went 13.00's with slicks. Awesome car!! Wish we would have kept that one.

Two choices (neither competitive) : 1964 Valiant, slant six, 4 speed or 1966 D Dart for super stock; just a dream.

It's not in the NHRA guide but for me a dream car would be a 58 Plymouth Fury with the 350 Golden Commando engine like in the movie Christine, it's almost identical to the 383/343 engine but a slightly smaller bore and cam lift and factory rated at 305 HP.

Well since a Good friend just sold his 1970 LS6 Convertible Chevelle at Mecum for 480,000 yes Mike is a good friend and yes 480,000 is not a typo I’m stuck changing my SS A/H car over to a 4 speed because that’s all I had to do to make it my dream!

It's not competitive but a 56 Chevy, 2-4's running SS/L!! 66 Chevelle wagon with a BB/4 speed in Super Stock, I don't even know if they made one but it would be cool. 65 mustang 4 sp stocker. 58 chevy 348 4 speed stocker. AMC rambler super stocker.

It did come with a Glide from the factory, I changed to the TH350 when the rule change came out. Best its gone is .280 under in E/SA @ NHRA. I've been running in NMCA lately. It uses the 585cfm Holley. I think that may be hurting it. I do all my own work and R&D so its definitely not the fastest.
I bought it from the widow of the original owner in 1988. I used to street drive it until 2015. If I cant make it work it may go back to that, someday. Its just more fun this way.
