I致e also have raced mine at the 1/8 mile track nearby. Lots of fun bracket racing.

I got hooked in the mid 80痴 when I restored a 70 Challenger convertible. Sold it and bought a 70 Road Runner. The old cars are still my favorite but I got out of it because of all the work involved.

My 2010 has 17,000 miles on it. To restore it I wash it.

That's one beautiful machine you bought Coobie! The fond memories of the pleasure of owning it will far outlast the pain of paying for it. Believe me - I recall the day I bought my 1969 Dodge Cornet RT. Kept that car (in stock form) for 16 years then gave it to my son who restored it and showed it in the AutoRama. And yes, he now carries many memories of "his" first car being a (the same) 1969 Dodge Cornet RT

Just remember, shinny side up.

Nice looking car. :thumbsup: Like you said, the Transportation forum was the place to post...although I was expecting to see a St Bernard.

I'm looking forward to the pics when you get it.

I did a home inspection last week and the RENTER just bought a 2018 ram 2500. He said he paid 92,000 and with taxes and extended warrenty it came to $103,000. A lot of money in my books!

Maybe that's why he's a renter not good with money

You can buy a halfway decent house up here for that kind of money, even with the exchange rate.

69 mustang fastback was one of my favorite cars growing up.Would love to have a 1969 302 Boss.Bought used mustangs 1971 and 1973 Mach 1,s later in life with 351 Cleveland motors.Great memories with those cars.

Not quite the same but I had a 71 Mustang Convertible with 351 Cleveland and 4spd... drove that car as far as Oakland CA to Canada... it was a blast to drive and plenty of power...

What a difference in todays muscle cars verses the 1970,s.The handling especially,but that comes with a HUGH price difference.

Looks like lots of TBN folks are in their second childhood. I had my one sportscar when I was 21 and never wanted another. With my 3 neck surgeries, I can barely get into a pickup now and could never get into a low profile sportscar unless i crawled in and with my bad knees, that is pretty hard also. They sure look good though, but I have no need to go 200MPH or 0-60 in 4 seconds.
Like I told my buddy who had a 300 HP engine on his boat, I never saw a fish that could swim that fast.
