Your most desirable musclecar you would have if you could pick one and money wasnt an option and why you would choose this one?

Irrespective of being a Ford man, the Phase 3 HO has to be the one.

After that, the HG Monaro or A9X Torana.

All rate for sexy body shapes, track wins and v8 engines.

I wouldn't pass by an RS2000 for thrashability either.

GT500 mustang.
thunderbolt fairlane.

I'll take the last one. Dibs on a race car :P

Seriously, I'd love an RPO 83 coupe or 4v 4 speed XB coupe.

If we're talking Holden, A9X hatch. E49 for the "other" mob.

Yeah a Charger could be fun - or a Phase 3 - but i'd be too scared to drive the latter..

Falcon XA GT Coupe, 4 speed, white with black bonnet highlights. Coupes look tough especially with big rubber and to me, XA's with the black bonnet treatment look tougher again. White is a simple understated colour that shows off the car at it's best. Also love the plum colour as well. Cosmic blue as a third choice colour.

Falcon XC Cobra. 351 4 speed. In your face, everyone knows them and there is nothing else like them. An instant classic at the time of release, would love one in my collection.

Charger E49, any of the lairy colours they came in. A very tough looking car. Used to love these as a kid.

Commodore Brock VK, the blue meanie. Never thought I'd say I like any commodore but for some reason the blue meanie appeals to me. Would put different wheels on though, the originals look pox. Saw one with Brock VL Momo's on and it looked the biz.

I have a definite preference for local muscle. Also, I'm quite concious of the look of the car as well.

As for American, the list is huge but I like the Mach 1 Mustang and Ranchero Utes.
