Back in time 1970

My dad had a white one when I was born. Rode home from the hospital in it. He sold it in 1987 to buy a VCR so they could record cartoons for me and rent movies. In 1991 was a major flash flood that came through washed away the garage it was in. Last time I seen the car it was literally wrapped around a telephone pole.
Here is what the Chevelle looked like when I got it. Looks bad but wasn't all that bad. Went over the frame and peeled everything to the water pump. Plus, it was only $325. Did all the work myself including paint. I was 18-19 years old and owned and drove it for 15 years until someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
I would take any of them, but if I had to pick, from the first set, the Challenger. Second set, the 442 or Chevelle.
A buddie of mine has one of those dodge trucks.
I’d take any of those trucks, but the Chev or GMC would be sorta first, but I’d have to really consider the International. Don’t see them around here anymore.

If I WAS gonna buy a Ford it would have to be from around "back then".....
Once again, I like them all, but first choice would probably be the Jeep. Although the International would go nice with my IH Cub Cadets.
An international scout and an early Ford bronco would be on my list too.
Big fan of those.
Big fan of those.
Perfect.
Yeah I looked Chris, I suspected you would take a Dodge, since you have a DeSoto too! My father in law has a mid 70's club cab that he drives all the time. It's beat to he!! and several different colors but that thing keeps on going for him!
It was hard to even find a picture of an original looking Jeep so had to go with one with faded paint!
When I was a kid (early 1960's) my favorite toy was a steel Scout with a removable top and doors. That was to me like Tonka dumptrucks are to younger kids! I had to take it everywhere with us, especially out camping. I remember when the flood hit in 1972, I still had not lost the doors or top!
Dad was an electrician and I remember using electrical tape to hold the doors and top on it when I didn't want them removed---LOL!
This is my dream truck, and I have one even. Just have to get it back on the road again. It's even that shade yellow! It has been in the family 51 years!

Challenger please..... I'm a Mopar guy at heart
I would take this.... It is my stepdads car, a 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury S/23. 1 of only 689 built
