Friend who is 6 7 bought a 31 Ford Model A pickup without a test drive (arranged to have it delivered). He had a big surprise when it arrived - he couldn't fit on the driver's side.

I've got of the few old classic muscle cars that I love to drive. 70 Judge and a 69 TA.

The woman has a 14 Audi R8 that is fast as hell though.

Different drive but I like the classic stuff.

69 Mako 4 speed with a 454 is a GT killer also.

I have had two chances to acquire a Judge over the last twenty years, both in great cosmetic shape with blown engines. Passed on both -- and could kick my own butt for missing out.

Mine needed motor work but was rust free.

Motors are much more easy than body IMHO, bro

Actually, that is factory paint (Fathom Green). I think the blue sky and the surroundings kind of mixed in with it giving it a different look.


The 1969 Corvette body style is a great body style - one that I think has aged very well. GM had a few really repulsive green paint schemes in 1969, but yours is a really striking one.

Don't give in to the urge to get a new one.

Got a chance to buy a 73 cuda from this dipshit that needs money with the big boy motor. For dirt cheap. Trying to decide to pull the trigger.

My dad and my nephew went to a car auction and bought a 1965 Buick Skylark convertible. Car runs like a jet but is literally rusting apart. The doors sag. Even the frame has rust damage. I don't know what we're going to do with it, since no one wants it. The car is atrocious, though if I posted a photo everyone would think the car looks pretty good.

My dad is 90 and can't see that well, and my nephew should know better.

Did they ever and in the early 70's green was one of their biggest sellers. By 74 most people (and GM) had finally come to their senses and moved on.

That color on his car is close to how my TA was. I went with the white with blue rally stripes.

Ferrari F12. Mid engine 458 would be nice but here's just something about that v12.

I have a few friends who have snagged some decent muscle cars and cheap prices(usually inherited from dad) from meth heads who need the money.

Most of our stuff is GM - the only Mopar is my 69 Chrysler 300 convertible. My first car was a 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner = wish I had it (cheap restore with its bench seat and no power options of any kind).

The 300 look exactly like this car (same color):

No GS. I've been looking for a nice GS. We have a 68 Buick Skylark convertible(we have mostly Buicks) but it is not the GS.

I like the 69 TransAm better than the 68, though that seems to be a minority opinion.

There are a few out there, but owners are asking a bunch. Damn tv car shows

My dad was a Buick fan.

My dad and I have a few cars we own together, and he would never buy a green car (he was in the Marines for 32 years and was sick of green ).

In the last couple of years, he restored a WWII jeep and bought us a 1957 Chevy station wagon that is two tone green.

Took me a few minutes to figure out where the gas filler tube was in the 1957 (it is in the tail light fin).

I've been helping a guy off and on with his TA 455SD. That is a lot of motor stuffed in that little box.

Me and my dad fixed up that Mako together. It's a beast.
