Im making a point of taking time to go through them tomorrow :)

 

There are a few nice ones on those links. Most cost a pretty penny mind. There's an awesome Buick on imported yanks too.

How much is that one you posted as your desktop mate? Im assuming there is no option to buy one kitted like that lol

 

It's actually a pretty stock R/T - plus vinyl wrap, SSRs, and *I think* the shaker hood was extra too. But black 5.7L hemi V8 6 speed manual will be $29k - plus whatever a new set of coilovers and SSRs would cost.

 

Of course, for me I wouldn't be able to leave it stock exhaust or stock motor.. so allow $40k total :p

I just saw a 71 boss mustang. Looked cool. Bright red/orange colour

 

I saw that too, it was at an old skool car show being held at the new American diner in Finedon on the A6. Loads of really nice motors and a nice venue as well. Will post some pics in a minute when I can find my cable.

My dad had a 78 Firebird that looked itentical to this and before that he had a 70 Challenger which was heavily modded which has got to be my favourite. Although I wouldnt mind a new challenger like the matte black one in this thread :cool:

Still pretty cheap really compared to some others new cars available :)

have you tried the Classic American magazine? They always have a load of classifieds in. It's available from WH Smiths.

 

Also, the MPG depends largely how you drive it. Bigger engines tend to mean you don't have to push them as hard to move them around.

 

If i drive my 3.8V6 firebird normally then i get the same MPG as i do in my 2.0 cars. A guy at a show last year had a dodge viper V12 with an 8 litre engine or something and he has a similar experience.

 

Not that i think you'll be wanting to drive it economically mind you :)

I'm a massive American muscle and classic car fan and have been for many years, In fact the Supra is the newest car I've owned other than the daily cars. I used to work in classic car restoration for a few years and have owned Approx 10+ Ford Capri's as well as a few other classic fords.

 

I love most American muscle cars and will own one at some point. I have a bit of a thing for the '67' Pontiac GTO. I also know of one which has just come up for sale not to far from me and it's taking all my might not to sell up and buy it! :taped:
