Would You Rather: A Muscle Car Quandary

We all got into muscle car restoration for different reasons. For some of us it was a love handed down from our fathers, for others an instinct perked by the rumble of a perfectly tuned engine. We took that love and built our own identities around it: Chevy man, Ford guy.

On the subject of muscle car identities here is a tough one for you. Would you rather...

Anonymity: You can build your muscle car dream project but you can never tell or show a soul. No car is off limits; Shelby GT500KR, Olds 442, Dodge Charger; the choice is yours. Starting with a rusted frame and a mess of an engine block you prep and pamper until that baby shines. You take it out of the garage and rip it through windy mountain roads. It rumbles and roars and you want the world to see your masterpiece. But the world never will. The roads will always be empty.

Anti-Climax: You can build a string of legendary muscle car restorations, but you can never drive them. You are the host of a popular TV show. Muscle car enthusiasts across the country tune-in week in and week out to see your handy work and to pay homage to the king. You rebuild cars for billionaires and dignitaries. You are lauded and revered. But when each project is finished you have to turn over keys without ever turning over the engine. This is your curse.
