Whoa, I'm speechless.

It's a Bugatti Royale, one of the rarest and most expensive cars in the world. There were only six ever made and as far as I know they all survive.

Dunno if that counts - I truly know nothing about cars - but since I was a kid, always had a crush on the Citro?n DS. Car repairer next to my house had one, always stopped to look at it.

They seem to have quite a cult following. I want to say I'm not a fan, but there's something about its quirky looks...

This car will always remind me of the Producers(1968).

Well that's easy to do when the car weighs under 1,000 lbs hahahhaa. Though I'm sure it's getting a tiny bit of help from the modified engine.

Also the newer Fiat 500s I know are fairly cool but yeah not classic.

Anyways on to more classic cars.

Wow that's incredible. I cant imagine how much one would cost now days.

A kid from my school that graduated last year had a '68 Dodge Dart. It was a pretty sweet car.

I have to agree with the DB6. I love just about everything Aston Martin has ever produced.

The 'Cuda is nice as well. It's been one of the cars on my "Muscle cars I need to have" list for a while., along with the http://media.motortopia.com/files/3218/vehicle/45a8ed3640002/0033345-R1-E0021.jpg, http://www.musclecardrive.com/images/specs_pics/71_challenger.jpg, and the http://www.camaroclubofsandiego.org/images/Ron1968Camaro.JPG.

My older sister bought a brand new '69 Karmann Ghia convertible. It was a shade darker than lime green. I'll never forget that car! She didn't have it long and it never lost it's new car smell. She got rid of it and bought the same year blue Chevy Malibu. At the same point in time, my older brother had a '66 Chevy Impala and a '41 Willys coupe that was a rat, but he used to race it on a popular local backroads drag strip until the sheriff had a crew come along and dump mounds of dirt on the road to end everybody's fun. It was a big deal on Sunday afternoons, and it would attract maybe 100 spectators and all kinds of greasers and gear heads who would go out to watch and race.
Sheriff Doug Harvey put an end to it...he was also instrumental in the "Michigan Murders" case concerning serial killer John Norman Collins.
Man, I remember those times like they were yesterday.

in all seriousness I love classic cars, but I'm talking very old classics, those 1920s-1930s roadsters are a good example, or a 1957 Bel-Air.

and even if it's not the most performance heavy vehicle, you must give credit to the Model T.

1970s Muscle always leaves a bad gritty taste in my mouth. The only Barracuda's I ever cared to look at, are the first gen., or early to mid-1960s. An old guy I used to live buy had a 1965 fastback with a dark red and black racing stripe down the middle. It was pretty sweet.

[OTTO]

Why? The Fiat 500 was one sweet little car.

If you like tiny cars then you'll probably like it and it does look much better than the smartcar. I just feel bad for old Andy because in the past in Europe you had to spend a fourtune and wait 5 years for a car like the Fiat and gas prices in Europe is outrageous. I personally don't like tiny cars.

Hey, I owned a '66. Not exactly a muscle cars, but those slant 225's cranked out some serious torque, and with many cars of the day they were just aggressive (you just can't get a car these days that will creep into 2nd gear! )

Honestly I can't say I miss it as a primary ride, as I was constantly cleaning points, adjusting valves, and throttle to the single barrel. But it was my first car, and you know that feeling you get when you see one again?

I passed up too many chance to own one when the getting was cheap (out west they are more common). I recently saw one parked at a local mechanic on the way to work and for nearly a month this sweet little car became the highlight of my commute (even had to have the cars behind me lay on the horn to get me through the traffic light and stop my gawking )

On my last trip to San Diego, I talked to a fella that had fitted his '72 KG with a Porsche 993 3.6l turbo and a 6 speed 996 C2 tranny. Talk about a [censored] rocket!

Man, I remember those times like they were yesterday.

It's amazing how much memory we have associated with cars. They are today's horse to the cowboy.

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth should be mentioned in this thread...as well as Von Dutch.
These guys are legendary in the entire Kustom Kulture phenomenon.
For those interested, the entire full length documentary http://www.hulu.com/watch/168243/tales-of-the-rat-fink can be viewed on Hulu.

I prefer stock vintage vehicles, but nobody denies the influence Big Daddy Roth had on an entire era of gear heads with his crazy custom machines and his marketing genius concerning the art he produced.

The documentary is excellent, BTW, (with John Goodman doing the main narration) and lots of old cars and stuff.
