Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted December 30, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) What emperor would this be? Something like this would be my realistic dream car, but not in baby poop brown. Edit: What the heck? I posted the Chrysler and the Duel truck shows up. It was also really hard to delete the video from the entry. Edited December 30, 2023 by Nerosmyfavorite68 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also really hard to delete the video from the entry. Capable, strong, brutal to the environment, attention to details. When I look at it, I see Domitian. This is clearly the automotive equivalent of a Domitian denarius 😃 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Garage with Jesse James was maybe the best (& the first?) , but I've watched many of these series: Orange County Choppers, Counting Cars, Rust Valley Restorers, Fast N Loud ... When I first came to the states (from UK), age 25, in the late 80's, one of my first cars was a '78 Ford Ltd II that probably would have appealed to your aesthetic. It was an ex.cop/detective car with heavy duty transmission and engine, resulting in a whopping 8 mpg. Luckily I didn't have to drive it too far. My first car was a Pinto, destroyed (transmission self-destruct) on a road trip up to Niagara Falls, second car was a Trans Am that I sold when I figured my luck in staying alive was likely to run out. None of them lasted long since I didn't have any money, and they were all dirt cheap! Edited December 30, 2023 by Heliodromus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a C-6 Corvette drivetrain/ engine interior with 66 body/ chrome bumpers/ sidepipes....best of modern tech with old classic appearance. These cars run 140K/ way cheaper then frame -off restored 99 pt. original @300K/ old saying, "beggars can't be choosers". Maybe get the modern kustom built C-6/ 67 body + LS-7 550HP engine/ 0-60 3.2 secs/ topend 240+ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me thinks those are more for the servants/ even I would not be caught in one! Had I been a Roman Emperor or a nicer Holy Roman version/ for me... muscle cars from "American Graffiti" era 1957-67/ the "apex of car design", while the "Baroque Era" 1650-1725 was the same for coin design.
