My 1934 Ford five window coupe. I converted it to hydraulic brakes and installed a 1948 Mercury 3/4 race engine. Top speed was about 140 mph, but that was scary.
My Riley 1.5 with a stage 3 engine in it. All I have is the badge of the front grill. It would do 95 mph with wife and 2 kids and two Beagles in the trunk. The wife could only see the Tachometer and it would say 6000 rpm so she was happy that I did not speed. Imitation leather upholsterie and genuine walnut burl dashboard.
Corvair Corsa 1965, the most fun to drive on a twisty gravel road. It was probably the best handling car built in north america up to that time, that is once you figured out that the rear tires needed to be inflated to twice the pressure of the front tires. (15 psi front, 30 psi back.) Unfortunatelie Ralph Nader managed to kill it.
My 1970 BMW 2002, probably the most fun car to drive.
With the exception of the 1934 Ford all the above cars fell victim to rust, a normal complaint in Canada.
