We need a classic car thread

Here are the three I own





I had posted the story of the Monte Carlo on the OG, love having it back in the family

I've been looking for a black Monte Carlo SS big block, as well as a Smokey & the Bandit Trans Am as part of my midlife crisis.

And 9/11's/944's/928's.

For me, it's tie between Milner's 32 (though Falfa's '56 post and the Pharaohs' chopped Merc were also badass) & McQueen's '68 Fastback. Magnum's 308 is behind that.

Funny story about this:

Originally, Mangum was supposed to drive a 911, but Selleck was too tall to fit in one. The showrunners tried to convince Porsche to make a custom 911 with a lowered floorpan that Selleck could fit in, so they could put one in the show. But Porsche being Porsche, they wouldn't do it.

Ferrari heard about it, told the showrunners they'd make them a custom 308, cranked one out real fast, and the rest is history.

I wanna say Ferrari built them 2-3 originally, but I'm not sure of specifics.

But yeah - they were custom-built for Selleck to fit in.

In fact, that's one of the reasons Ferrari offered the 308 - they could pull the t-tops out, Selleck's head could fit more easily without an actual roof there, and they wouldn't have to lower the floorplan as far to get him to fit. lol
