1. 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 426-Hemi
(A 180+ mph. production car, under $5,000 [in '69], can seat 5 people.)

2. 1969 Dodge Dart GTS 440 Magnum
(Mid-12 second 1/4 mile times off the showroom with only a tire change and with relatively small 600-cfm carb.-- switch to a big Holley carb. and it would probably run low 12s.)

3. Hard to pick a third... '70 Chevelle SS 454 LS6, '70 Buick GSX 455, '68 428 Cobra-Jet Mustang, '70 Plymouth Hemicuda, '69 Dodge Hemi Charger, '69 440-6 pack Dodge Super Bee, '62-'63 Max Wedge Mopar, etc.
I would probably pick the 454 Chev or 455 Buick- they have so much low-end torque, all you have to do is look at the gas pedal and the rear tires start spinning. Fun stuff!
