Re: Clark Griswold's ride?

I am excited to do a couple things:
Work on cars
Do a show about cars

Some things that are true:
" and a bunch of other shit that Bill probably doesn't care about." which actually includes:
"auto down driver's window. Ooh! Keyless entry, dual power seats, dual power heated mirrors, auto climate control"

Also:
G-Bodies are the same way, minus the technology, because they are older:
"- Build it as you wish. You can have a modern interpretation on a muscle car, or something that rides like a cloud, something that tackles auto-x and road courses, runs sub-10s in the 1/4 or any other combo as such. A wide range of aesthetic choices are available."

The regular Regal rode like a cloud. It was absolutely fantastic. The G-bodies of the time also had 454's dropped in them. There you go, cloud to track.


I think it would be cool. I don't have anything against B-bodies, I just like the styling of a G of F body more. It is like the SS. I respect the SS for what it is, but still prefer the gen 5 Camaro.




I think there are competing things that people believe that I care about so I would just like to sum it up:
I don't want anything stock. I very much want to modify whatever I end up getting.
I like the 80's Camaro and G-Body body styles.
I like mostly stock exteriors with maybe slight modification - cowl hood, maybe decals removed, no Monte stripe, I don't mind the stock Monte or IROC lettering on the side
I like stuff that adds performance.
I am not against technology if it has to do with performance.
I don't need wifi in my car.
I want my phone (Spotify etc.) to be able to play on my car radio but it doesn't need to be Bluetooth.

I don't need: Power seats, heated seats, cooled seats, leather, automatic start, keyless entry, dual powered heated mirrors. I don't plan on driving this car in the winter.
I need: AC, HP, Torque, bucket seats, preferably 2 doors, a decent radio, and something that I can totally modify. Resale is not a factor.

Things that would be nice: Air bags, 4 wheel disk brakes, ABS, 5 point restraint...
