Huh? Wait a minute!! Isn't sneaking the car for a "run" an act of passageMy Nephew recently (couple years ago) Purchased a classic Mustang Show Car, when he saw it online. I believe he called it his midlife crisishad it shipped to him and put it in his garage.
rarely drove it.
I can guess his youngest girl or boy will probably sneak it out ,
and get caught racing once they get old enough to drive
LOL I'm not complaining
. Mecum Auction 2022 in Fla. three weeks ago had (5) Factory Five Cobras for sale.
How could you not love a cobra.... saxyLOL I'm not complaining
The cheapest sold for $74,000 the most expensive sold for one hundred & 10 thousand. None of the builds were anything special.Couple 5.0s & couple 427s. Even the announcer said the days of a "replica" Cobra selling in the 30k range are over
Once in awhile you’ll see something “ok” on Craigslist. I prefer eBay motors, but until you see it in person it’s a bondo special in my book.
Gare, I’m down to my last car - 1971 Javelin AMX that is very solid and complete except it carries a 360 and not 401. AMC built only 2,000 of these. The guy I bought it from kept the cowl induction air cleaner housing and the year-specific wheels that all sell for about 6-$7k alone. Gonna sell the the car probably this spring to free up more barn space. AMC‘s are fairly modern cars but unlike Chevies or Fords they didn’t build many, so they don‘t reproduce many parts such as trim work. It’s much cheaper in the long run to buy a nice finished car than to do a restoration.
I noticed a lot of those "non boomers" buying cars at Both auctions
Nice looking AMX. My wife of over 30+ years now fell in love with me the guy who had a 74' Gremlin that I picked up for 400 bucks in Iowa. I really just wanted something cheap to drive to Colorado and it ran without flaw. I also used it to commute from Buena Vista Colorado to Frisco Colorado every day to work at Overhead Door installing garage doors. That was a one way commute of 65 miles ever day over a snowy mountain pass of 10'000 feet. Had sand bags and studded snow tires and I made it to and from work every day. I finally drove it out to Sacramento to take a job out there, but it had to many issues to get it smog'd so I parked it at our shop and the guy that bought our scrap metal gave me 35 bucks for it. Later when I moved to Colorado again I started getting parking tickets mail to me from San Francisco. I guess that scrapper had a relative that drove it all over the bay area unregistered. Took me a little convincing to the CMV that that I don't own that car as I sold it for scrap and it ain't my responsibility anymore.
Cool! The big thing when I was in school in the 70’s was stuffing V8’s into Pintos, Mavericks, Vegas and Gremlins. My wife’s uncle here raced a Gremlin with a Chevy 327 transplant.
Nice headlights.
This was my baby.....67 Chevelle SS 396 I ordered directly from the factory ,spring of 67.
