If you were to have just one of these classic roadster cars, which one would you pick? Here are your choices:
1. 1955 Porsche 356
2. 1967 Jaguar XKE
3. 1965 Chevrolet Corvette
4. 1963 Shelby Cobra
5. 1961 Austin-Healey 3000
You can only have one. Which one would you pick? And why?

The Jag because it was a 150mph car in 1961, had 4 wheel disc brakes before any of the others had disc brakes at all, and Jagwas running dohc engines back when ford still had flatheads and chev was 7 yrs away from its first V8. Clearly much more car, and sexy too.

Unfair question. I owned an A-H 3000 for almost 20 years. Loved it. ‘Vette is awesome, of course, but make mine a ’63 fuelie coupe or ’67 big block roadster. Love the purity of the 289 Cobras but still want a 427. Porsche is sweet but I’ll wait for the 911. So when all is said and done, it has to be the E-Type, my must-own-someday dream car since the first time I saw one when I was a kid.

You are speaking Geek to me. I still recall you lusting after a food disposal that could do chicken bones.

The Cobra of course! If you’d ever driven one you’d know why.
