Of course you're right Jim, but taken in that context, it's still fun to go and look!

Ed:
Is that a factory color & paintjob on your Thunderbird? If so, I'll stop by my local dealer & buy a gallon. I have a '59 El Camino that I hope to live long enough to finish and your paint might be the color I'm looking for. I'm not doing mine stock. I'm doing it the way I would have back in the 60's.

This is not my car but one exactly like the 1969 Plymouth GTX I bought new back in 1969: 440, automatic, ice blue with black interior... oh yea, and fast.  Well I'm looking for another one. So if anyone knows of one that is available at a price I can afford, please let me know. GTX... that's short for Adios!

Just saw an orange one Bernie. Didn't look too close, and no for sale sign: but I can ask when I go back to get my car......We took some of my parents' old slides in for conversion, and got a few good vintage views of the old Dodge.

JR, if you let your wife use that for grocery shopping you need professional help, my friend! You collect S/S daggers AND you're a Chevy guy? Want to get married? That's a honey, which 396 is it, 325,350, or 375 h.p.? Auto or 4-jerk? For pics of my '66 Bel-Air w/factory air, go to page 1 of this thread and scroll down.  Regards, Leipzig

You've been holding out on us JR. That's a sweet Chevelle. There's nothing like the torque of a big block.

Scott, that's a beauty . While my main interest in cars are musclecars I have a soft spot for TR-6's. Back in 1981 my cousin taught me how to drive a stick on his TR-6.

Thanks Ray!
That was a hard car to learn on with a super heavy clutch! After the 6, every clutch must have felt like butter.
I like Muscle Cars as well, but like them to go round the corners also. Have been pondering a Superformance Cobra - as the best of both worlds, but just can't bring myself to part with the TR6.
Scott
Best Regards,
Scott R.

If you like to go around curves and corner well, the Z06 Corvette is a real ride.

Love the Rims on that Pantera!! That is one sweet ride!  Ron, as for the Z06, I couldn't agree more. Just wish I had an extra $70K or so laying around for fun money so I could buy one. Scott

Hey scott. If it were BRG I would feel for ya. Otherwise dump it to a brit and get the superformane far better than the ffr version.
Incedentaly I did not mean to gin up my credentials here.
Cj powered I should have said( i was on a high) Shelbys (2) torinos (5) 1 of which was the actual Cobra ( that someone told me sell for $ 100,000 now)darn at least I still have the original key fob : ) nothing with a csx prefix : ( though.
Just do it!
I know a guy that settled for an austin healy instead. As they say . "there's an ass for every seat."
So I am getting out of mine now.
Ciao
-Joe
