The first car I bought when I was 18 (with dad cosigning) was a genuine '70 Chevelle SS. Had fresh paint, red with 2 white stripes and cowl induction hood. Had it for 3 months and it was stolen at Six Flags. Really would still like it now.

This show was at John Force's shop, so a heavy funny car influence was present
Back when they were sheet metal

Chris-- LUV your taste in American metal ^^

Philip-- Ditto ^^ ... glad you saw the admiring pics I snuck in of your old T-bird

Ted--

Stan-- I am continually in awe.
I remember Chuck S. first telling me the story about your Mustang sale to T. Cruise for S. Spielberg.
If you have to let a beloved hot rod go, that's the way to do it!

Bruce-- Check post 55 &/or 56 on page 4 if you haven't seen them yet.

JoAnne-- Hey, friend, was that about what you had in mind for the Bad Max cross-post show?

Certainly a fan of the 69 Mustangs and Camaros and if there is one to lust after these days it is this one.

To limit yourself only to sportscars is, well, limiting...

There are plenty of cool cars to drive around in many various different styles & categories.

That said, here's my daily driver...

Sorry if repost; i didn't read entire thread but did a search and didn't see a reference to the HOkey *** Message Board. The go-to place for all things hotrod, very active community!
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/
Don't start reading the vintage racing thread unless you've blocked out a couple hours...

After reading that reply ^^ my wife quipped:
"That's a woman's way of saying someone went above & beyond their highest expectations."

When the Mustang's builder made the below quote in the video, it made me wonder:
What are your opinions on efforts & goals of companies like RetroBuilt.com?

These cars are American history, and when you're bringing one back to life, that's awesome.
Right now we're in the middle of building a 1969 Mustang ... uh, kind of!

What makes our car cool: We made the 2011 guages fit in there.
It will handle way better than it did in 1969.
