Post by: AKDejaVu on March 22, 2002, 08:33:04 PM: You have $600,000 to throw away on a gullwing?

My uncle has a machine shop that used to have a Mercedes collection behind it. The owner of the building had a gullwing back there.. original condition.

Post by: Nashwan on March 22, 2002, 11:12:17 PM: The number plate is an old British one, from 1962 or earlier, although it could be a later car with an old "vanity" plate attached.

Post by: Doberman on March 23, 2002, 01:26:49 AM: Ex-girlfriend's dad has a gullwing in his garage under restoration. Used to help him with it quite a bit.

Lemme tall ya, I was more dissapointed about losing the chance at inheriting that car than I was about cutting the chick loose. :)

Post by: MrBill on March 23, 2002, 02:50:26 AM: Well we got lotsa nice pics. If I were to consider American Iron my first choice would be, top pic. DeLorean second and Avante third.

eskimo2 asking price is somewhat over a third of DejaVu's price. :)

SirLoin: Yes I do believe you may be right. ;)

My current parade car is 2nd pic.

I like BLUE.

Post by: Dune on March 23, 2002, 03:17:43 AM: Some very pretty cars. Except for one small problem. They all suck. There is one dream car, and it is this:

(http://www.mustangsmustangs.com/images2/4/C029.jpg)
- 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-500 Convertible.

Like I said, there is only one dream car. The rest are simply ones that would kinda cool to have.
Title: second childhood or chick magnet?
Post by: Sparks on March 23, 2002, 04:07:40 AM: Yep MrBill thats an old black British plate but I think the first "O" has been tampered with - looks wrong.

They changed to white on front of car and yellow on rear in the early 70's I think - maybe earlier.

You found one for $225,000? That's not a bad price... but it is alot of money. Classic automobiles have become a super shakey investment.

There was the geeky girl in highschool that used to drive one of those to school. Her dad gave it to her when she was 16. It was all original (even oxidized paint) and totally straight. Damn that was a sweet car.

Post by: Sandman on March 23, 2002, 11:22:24 AM: My first car was a 66 Mustang. I often ask myself why I got rid of it.

Then I remember. Compared to even the most sedate family sedan of today, that Mustang handled like toejame.

Yep, thats why the con job check remark was inserted in the first post. I thought the plate looked skewed also. Prolly cost me the price of a
new car just to send a expert over to check it out.
ERROR REPORT the parade car pic I posted was a friends TF, I have a TD they look the same except for the headlight placement and a couple other minor details.

If I were to get another british make it would be one of these ... It would have to be blue though. :)

Title: second childhood or chick magnet?
Post by: Durr on March 24, 2002, 01:49:27 PM: If we are talking American iron, this is my favorite, modified heavily of course. I'll take mine with a 440 big block with 6 pack, stoked and bored, racing cam, headers, all the good stuff....
I figure if a muscle car gets more than 4 miles per gallon than it can be tuned for more power. The gas guage should double as a tachometer by moving visibly when you rev the engine. A real car should be able to light the tires in 1st, 2d, and 3rd gears, and eat the 1/4 in <11 seconds. Who cares about how it corners, its all about going fast in a straight line! Seriously, I like cars that can handle too, (BMWs are probably my favorite for that, cant beat the M3) but ever since I first saw a Challenger as a little kid, I have wanted one. Who cares about a sound system when you have 440 cubic inches of American iron converting dead dinosaurs into window rattling, pavement melting, power? First good one I find that I can afford, and my entertainment budget for the month will consist of nothing more than gas and tires to keep the beast happy. Oh yeah, make mine jet black.......

Post by: Kanth on March 24, 2002, 05:09:34 PM: My first car was a 1956 chevy bel air 4 door red and white and needing restoration. I got it when I returned from the gulf war...nothing to spend money on over there..

I used Danchuk in california to get parts for the restoration and since I was a helicopter mechanic I had plenty of tools and the sheet metal guys helped in switching it from a column shifter to floor shifter.

I eventually painted it black and white myself, the paint looked wet all the time it was breathtaking.

The closest picture I have found to what I want looks like this (it's a 55, I like the blocky lines with the bird on the hood instead of the rockets and longtrim):

but convertible would be better.

(http://www.diecastmuscle.com/images/7869s.jpg)

right now I don't have a safe place for one but as soon as I get a garage I may do the restoration thing again..

runners up would have to be...

Post by: Ripsnort on March 25, 2002, 08:28:41 AM: Went the muscle car route in the 70's. FUN! Great appeal to the eye, but only good in a 1/4 mile...bring a muscle car up to 140 mph, or try negotiating a 20 mph curve at 60, and they suck (Most suck, there are a few, like Corvettes, that do okay).

I prefer the best of both worlds, quick acceleration, great cornering, excellent handling at top end:
(http://home.earthlink.net/~ripsnort/BMW/BMWP21Sbest2.jpg)

Priced good (under $40,000), good 0-60 time (5.9 seconds) good top speed (155) good HP (225 hp, 214lbs. torque)and not a bad 1/4 mile time (13.9 seconds)

Post by: N1kPaz on March 25, 2002, 01:32:30 PM: BMW??? VOLVO???? these throwaways dont belong in this thread. Do you think anyone is gonna want to collect these boring things. They dont sound like dragsters, they would look silly painted Plum Crazy, and whats with the lack of 8 cylinders? collector cars?? NOW WAY!'

Not that I wouldnt give my left testicle for either one. I would sell it outright, get my car fixed, and go back to college (without begging uncle sam).

dare to dream
Title: second childhood or chick magnet?
Post by: Vector on March 25, 2002, 01:47:59 PM: LOL!
I suggest you to give that left testicle and get a Volvo, after that you never ever gonna buy anything else! ;)
"Once a volvo always a volvo"

BMW is nice car too..for girls! S! Rip :D

EDIT: as for present classic car (Volvo S80 T6 will be in future ;) ) I like most -69 Charger R/T , oh boy what a beauty!!
