I went with the Challenger.  Love it. 

Pics!

Problem is that I have the manifolds half off and the head has to come off. Right now it's worth probably $3000 less than if I get it back together.  Next spring will do fine.

Makes sense to me!

I want to remove the Decepticon logo, but the little guy likes it too much!

I love it!  They were smart to make it a faithful reissue of the original.  A nice job of styling.

That was a big thing for me - retro.  I always said that if I won a lottery or maybe later in life I'd like to buy a 69/70 Charger or Challenger, so this for me is the same thing!  Never owned my own car, well, I did for a few months before the firs wife got it when we split 12 years ago!!    :mrgreen:

It all started with a test drive of a mustang on Thursday.  It takes me longer to pick out a book at a book store...

Mustang for me. I ordered my '08 GT just how I wanted it, and took delivery almost exactly 5 years ago. It's never given me any trouble. I immediately lowered it and did some performance mods. Great car! Interior is cheap-ish, with a lot of hard plastic, but it has a great retro look like my old '67.

Haha, twins separated at birth!


While we're on the subject of cars, I've the hankering for en ex-police or ex-highway patrol car. Back in the '80s and '90s I wish I'd bought any of the '70s Furys which could be had cheap.

Now I have to take my black Thunderbird out for a pic ;) 

Love that blue - that is the same color and car that started this for me on Thursday.  Wasn't a GT, but quite similar.

A guy I worked with in L.A. in the late 80s had an ex undercover 70s Fury he bought cheap.  Got mistaken for a cop a few times.
