;D Hello... Oldeskewltoy(Dan) here... Some of you know me from other forums (C4AG and HR.net to name a few)
I've owned MANY different types of cars... from TVR and Alfas to Mustangs and GTO's, to a herd of 60's Volvos...
Back in 1994, I had just finished restoring/selling a 1970 Mach1 428 SCJ and found that as much "fun" as a nearly all stock car is (bullshit), the "market" drove things and if I wanted any resale value it had to be near stock. This has changed somewhat in recent years.
The problems with a Cobra Jet Mustang begin with a crappy 13mpg.... on the highway!! The power is WONDERFUL... but in a chassis that began as a Falcon, what can you EVER expect from it??
So after a year or so on bad drugs(Peugeot 405 Mi16), I looked for a replacement fun car and low and behold.....
