    << Nope not at all... lol.....

    My favorite and what I want one day is a 68 Camero and a late 70s F150.

    What we own is a 71 Charger which will one day get a 440 put in it.
    and an all original numbers matching 72 Dart.

    both are still in project phase.

    Yea I'm going to have to agree with ha! When I met my husband he had a 73 chevelle and yes that's what attracted me to him. He said he wanted a 70 but his dad and him built the 73. :)

    I have a 1968 GTO (400/400 numbers matching). It's second only to my kids and boy is it a close second. lol

    And yes, that is a Mustang emblem tattoo. My first car was a 68 my dad and I rebuilt together. And before anyone says anything, I feel that unless the Mustang is a Shelby, GT, or fastback, it should be considered a "classic car" not a muscle car.

    When I was working in Ohio in March it was snowing. The car rental place gave me the new shape camaro next to the door cos they didn't want to get cold getting me the car I'd booked. Probably not the best car in the snow. I liked the driving position with the bulge on the bonnet and the heads up display, but man that car was scary going round corners. It just wanted to go straight on. Reminded me why American cars will never sell in Europe.

    I had a '72 LeMans. It needed some work, but it was a beautiful car.
    I bought it for $350, sold it a few years later to a friend for $99.
    He let the engine block crack.

    I should have kept it , but I was just out of school(mid '80s) and had no place to keep it and no money to maintain it.

    Today a car in the same condition is about $5,000.

    That's cause all the old muscle cars were straight line cars and they all did that very well.

    I like tuners. They do their thing well but there's just something about Detroit muscle that gets my blood flowing.
