ok for 80's cars..... which would you rather have.... Pete's Dragon or Peaches and Scream?

With only those two cars for choices... Pete's Dragon, but I'd put lowback seats, & a factory outside mirror, decklid, and hood on it.

And we seeit again - i still love to look at that car - and yes it was a bad ass ride - Jim dont know which car i like better - yours or Pete's - The Dragon was very cool for the times - Your car will be and has been cool for time - Just like the rest of the true Cal look cars - each unique in it's own way - But not ever having to get to drive YOUR CAR i will say Pete's.

Man, I remember reading the feature on that car waayyyy back in grade school. It makes me want to build an 80's style looker out of my '63.

I grew up in Hayward and always saw Pete's car. Everyone loved that car. That pic I took was from Bug O Rama #8 I believe...could have been a little later. Behind the car was John and I think my brother Jeff. I have the pic in front of me as we speak plus many other Bay Area cars of the 80's   Kyle

I just love the look of some of the 80'ies cars, and this one must be the best 68-up I've seen. Even the glass hood looks good.
