Nice car, and I always dug those redlines.

Resto mod. 1968 Mustang fastback with a built/supercharged Coyote, T-56, 8.8 stick axle, tubular front and rear suspension, power disc brakes, etc. Power and convenience of a modern engine with the ease of maintenance of a classic.

Yeah, I raced one in my 70 - ss454, 450hp.
when his front tires left the ground (the hemi) I knew I had made a mistake.....
Truth be told the 440 was stronger out of the hole and up until the 1/8, after that the 426 would pull away. The Hemi's power advantage was in the heads.

I have a 69 Chevelle with a 350 crate engine.
I was planning on getting an old Dodge Power Wagon or Ford F100 as well, but we had a kid and that ended that. I got a mid-sized SUV instead

This was my dad's first car. He worked at a paint and body shop starting at 14 yrs old and saved up to buy it. He sold it so that he could pay for college. I'm hoping one day I can buy another one for him.

I much prefer my own 1969 Dodge Dart GT. Though it can be considered a tad bit unreliable.

Yeah, I was looking for paint codes awhile back and came across this website that has sample paint chips and codes. The names they came up with:
Paint chips
Color codes

I wanted an old Bronco more then 30 years ago. Got one 15 years later and finally finished it, at least the outside. Looks great
I get a lot of comments, but it took a whole lot of work

I enjoy the looks of new cars more. Plus the technology in them is SO MUCH more advanced

5yrs ago most were half the price, all air cooled 911's are currently in a bubble.
I hope the bubble gets bigger and bigger.
I can't afford any new cars that I want so I currently don't own anything new. I have 4 cars, my newest one is a 2003 and has 250k miles LOL My oldest one is a 1986 and has 89k miles.

Nice...
All bubbles tend to burst especially when it includes the base cars not just low production... Happened to the Corvette and Mopars.
Only one I see holding long term are the 993s.
With that said Id watch it closely and dump it.

I'd take a challenger hellcat over buying a classic muscle car.
But I would rather restore a Chevelle SS than buying a new muscle car. Nothing like turning your own wrenches and bringing a classic back to life.

I had a 72 GTO that I loved, but I'd take take my Z/28 all day over it.
