"Classic" Ride Draft Thread - DRAFT COMPLETED!

[SacKings7]

Good concept, but I know very little about models of cars, so I'm out. But I will probably follow along. When do you plan on starting this?

 

[Spike]

Thanks VF. Just remember though, the Vlade Deluxe had a propensity to tip over at all speeds.

 

[kingsfan916]

Can i still get in???

 

[VF21]

Yep. You sure can... I'll add you to the list in the first post.

 

[VF21]

bump - still room for more. Where are you car buffs?

 

[Gary]

If there is a spot open I would love to join?

 

[VF21]

You got it!

 

[VF21]

Bump. Last chance for sign-ups. This is the next draft in the queue and I'll be consulting the randomizer for draft order.

I've added the necessary narrative and rules to the OP.

 

[Kingsgirl4]

I'm in!

 

[VF21]

I need one more participant. Anyone? As soon as we get our 12th person, I'll consult the magic randomizer and post the draft order.

 

[Löwenherz]

I'd join to be your 12th drafter, but I'm not really a classic car connoisseur.

Actually, I know nothing about them. My first pick just might be the DeLorean from Back to the Future

Do you mind having an automotive moron in your draft just to get things going?

I mean, I can just go on google and pick out the pretty ones

Dude, I know cars to some degree (my dad made me rebuild the engine of my first car with him as a right of passage), but I absolutely do not belong in a thread with true car nuts either. However that was true of the album draft too, but that worked out fine. Educational even. Just remember that Yugo > Pinto > Edzel and you'll do fine.

I know 2-3 classic cars that I'd like to have if I won lottery. Other then that, I'll be picking from movies/popular culture, same as your DeLorean pick.

 

[Löwenherz]

All right, I'm in.

Get ready for "This car is pretty" reasonings for my selections

 

[GoGoGadget]

Just remember that Yugo > Pinto > Edzel and you'll do fine.

I'm neither concerned nor embarrassed to admit that one of those three is on my list.

...and the other two are on mine.

Welcome to the group! I was hoping for a variety of participants to make it interesting!

I'll go consult the magic randomizer right now.

Draft order posted; Prophetess is on the clock. Have fun!

 

[Prophetess]

wooohooo!!!

I'm taking a 64 1/2 convertible Mustang. And I'm taking it stock, no additions, no subtractions. This has been the car of my dreams for years.
I don't know if it's still sitting there, but it was at the Towe Auto Museum on display.

Damn. That was my first pick, too, even though I was almost certain I wouldn't get it.

 

[Warhawk]

Great first choice, I think!

Your randomizer is broken. I won't get the Vlade deluxe now.

 

[Bricklayer]

Uhoh...I detect immediate problems for me if there was some sort of consensus first pick in this thing or ranking of "must have" cars.

 

[Spike]

There's no consensus first pick in my mind, but there are many nice cars in which you can't go wrong.

 

[Warhawk]

Agreed. The 64 1/2 Mustang is an instant classic and there is no way you could go wrong having it on a list like this.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

My first pick is the 1958 Chevy Impala

Still kicking myself for letting one get away 5 or 6 years ago as the prices have recently gone sky high on these bad boys.

1958 was the first year of the Impala and its Bel Air roots still shown through, the body style would change radically over the next few years, but I love the lines on this one most of all.

 

[GoGoGadget]

The '58 Impala was not on my list, but is a thing of beauty.

 

[Bricklayer]

I will have you know I have 6 cars on my list.

Total.

Then I am winging it.

Yep, that was my number 1 too. One car I really wanted, all others are "nice to have".

 

[kingsfan916]

I pick a 1966 CHEVROLET CORVETTE (Big Block)

Just a beautiful car and worth a ton of money now.
