This is a really hard choice for me. Cuda or Javelin. I think I have to go Javelin.

Bud Moore Boss 302. I don’t care if it’s the Parnelli Jones or George Follmer car.

I think Grabber Yellow is the most iconic color, but I’d rather have the red Folmer car.

Idk how but the Cuda just sticks to me, and I couldn’t rock a Cougar tbh, I don’t wanna have to look “Fonzie” enough to step out of one in public.

But yeah, dat jav...

‘Cuda, because Hot Wheels sponsorship is amazing. Runner up would be the ‘71 AMX.

It’s one of my all time favorite liveries, plus the cross ram DZ302 is a monster at RPM.

It just now occurred to me: half of the cars in these photos look like they have RS Watanabe wheels. Is there a similar style made that’s popular with the muscle car/racing crowd of this era? Or do I just need to get out more?

Those are Minilites, they were one of the first mass produced magnesium racing wheels in the 60's.

Definitely the Sunoco Camaro, expecially in 1968 form.

EDIT: Or Smokey Yunick’s Camaro.
