Now that my fuel cell, pump and battery are in mine there's little room for anything else. |

I always thought that it would be pretty cool to get another one. |

I had a '66 Buick Wildcat, biggest engine I ever saw in a car and very quick. It could pass everything except a gas station.

I know a guy who owns one of those. He also owns a Yenko Camaro. They are both show winning cars and worth a small fortune each.
A couple cars I always wished I had and they are now worth a lot of money are the Plymouth Superbird and Dodge Daytona. |

| +1!
Parts would be awfully expensive, though.

If I had the money, I'd look for a GTO, 442 or Nova! |

When I was 18 to 24 my only car was a '68 Coupe, and the trunk fit a bass and my Mesa Bass 400, and the back seat fit my Mesa 2x15 cab. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Columbus, Ohio | | | I'd love to restore a '69 Camaro SS in black. Also, there's an old Ferrari 308 GTS sitting in someone's yard with a for sale sign on it. I see it every time I go to a church I play at on Sunday mornings. It's nowhere near mint condition. There's some fading on the red paint and some aging on the black rubber bumpers. It's a shame to see that thing sitting there uncovered by the road and in the condition it's in. I'd love to take that baby and fix her up but I'd have to be rich just to afford the parts. |

Like this 1990 mustang cobra | That's not a Cobra.
Those are stock GT tail lights, wheels, and rear bumper.
And it's the wrong color.
And they didn't make a 1990 Cobra. 1993 was the first year. Sorry. I realize you're just posting someone else's photo, but I spent years on a Mustang enthusiast website before eventually landing on TB. I apologize for the outburst. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
