Came here,for my love of Cudas,and Darts.But,everyone has a different side.My best was a 70 El Camino.Viper yellow,traditional flame job.Shaved door handles,drip rails.Way healthy 402,4500 stall.4.10s,28/12.5/15s out back.FUN CAR!Would be curious,what you have.
 
That would have to be my brothers 1970 Cougar xr7. 351c 4v with 3.50's. Not a dragster by any means, but that car would use up the oversize speedo in short order. The only mods were a nice 750 and a new Milodon replacement cam and lifter set.
 
1928 Ford Rat Rod, Built 318/727, 8 3/4
 
1970 Pontiac LeMans GT37 with a 400 and a 71 Chevelle that had a 327 in it both automatics
 
I built an old vw beetle and put a 2nd gen mazda rotary turbo in it. That car was WAY too fast for as as old bugs were. but man was that car a riot to drive
 
Not really "old" hot rod but the most fun "non mopar" car I have owned...87 GN that bought from the original owner with 49k miles.

My 1949 Olds......371 cid, Isky cam, and 6 Stromberg 97 carbs....it was a bit of a gas hog with the 4:44 rear and LaSalle trans....thank godness gas was only 20 cents a gallon at the time.
 
1970 Firebird, Chevy 327 vette motor, very wicked, three speed on the floor....it was a friggin terror.
Always liked Mopars better though yet the cockpit of the firebird was very sporty.

I have a '99 Regal GS. Intercooled, modded M-90. Coated stainless headers and a Magnaflow exhaust. Slight head work, Comp Cams full set-up, Mahle pistons, Clevite bearings, custom ECM flash. Caddy STS front brakes, 9C1 swaybars, 9C1 A-arms, Moog HD end links, poly bushings (swaybar only), Vogtland progressive rate springs, KYB AGX adjustable struts, Monte Carlo front reinforcement bars, and strut tower braces (front is stock on this car, rear is custom). Transaxle is a full kit from Triple Edge Performance, LSD is a clutch-style by E-trans. Run 2012 Buick 18" rims, Yokohama YK580s' on it mostly

Not really a 'musclecar' or "Hot Rod," but it has shocked the sh@t out of a few european owners. And can pull down 32 MPG on the freeway, goes well in the wet and snow, and looks like granny's ride
 
Mine was my old 71 GMC, 496 big block Chevy, turbo 400, 3500 stall, 4.56 gear, and two stages of nitrous good for about 350 hit. It was a blast on the street if I could get it to hook, but had a bad habit of breaking stuff on the track. Best I ever got out of it was a 6.90 in the 1/8 mile. Got kicked out for no cage/helmet/harness.
 
Love my 1972 Chevelle SS 4 on the floor baby :twisted: I still got it, it's my first car, and I'm the second owner!
 
Not mine, but it's the best non-Mopar car I've been for a ride in. My buddy Mike's 1987 Camaro IROC Z28 with a 388 stroker, automatic, and 4.10 gears. The car burns through all three gears on any street tire.

66 Chevelle ss396 4speed 12bolt 488s maroon black interior,68 Chevelle ss396(427) 4speed 12bolt 411s black on black...
 
72 Nove 350, 4spd 4:11's...Loved that car. Got my *** handed to me by a Duster 340. Never forgot that night. If not for that fatefull race 30+ years ago, I would not have come full circle and become a Mopar nut last year. :D
