barneybrendan Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Is it just be or is this guy trying to sell a rusty shell for 8500USD? It seems as if it was sold off ebay so the answer is yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 [ATTACH=CONFIG]140279[/ATTACH] Bit of shameless self appreciation, but this is my baby, built and loved by me If your thinking of getting a classic american car, I would recommend a 1969 camaro(sharknose, round headlights), or any mustang from 1965-68. Nothing else is worth the bother And believe it or not you can make a mustang go round corners very easily and well! I agree with your choices and the comment about being able to make them go round corners, but there are one or two cars you didn't mention that are worth the bother. '63 - '67 (C2) Corvette (if you can afford it) can be a very nice car and will go well. Still expensive but less than the C2 would be a C3 - pre '74 as by that time the emissions gubbins was dragging them down. They can be made to corner rather nicely for not too much cash too. The main thing is, keep the wheels sensible - forget big rims and low profile tyres on any of these old muscle cars - you'll ruin how it rides! Having said all that, Having had 70's Corvette/Mustang & Camaro I couldn't put up with the old stuff any more - owning one has to be a labour of love, so I'll keep with my C6 thanks! (It still has pushrods - will that suffice?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
