Nothing wrong with the resto route, but it seems whenever we have a classic show up at the shop they are stock or very close to it. Would be nice to see more people persuing muscle as well as restoration. Rare cars I can certainly understand a concourse restoration. But for the more common cars....

Used to be not so long ago when a classic pulled up people tremored, nowadays it seems rare to find one even hittin' a lope

....wishful thinking

My 67 coupe looks almost stock from the outside, except for the header collectors hanging below the body. I too love the lumpy idle and the sound of the headers coming to life.

I get the impresion you have not spent too much time in this forum. There are some real firebreathers here. Very few fully caged drag cars but some way overpowered street machines. Here's my project:


Should see low 12s with DOT legal DRs, and that is on a covertible with full interior

First lemme say very cool car Edbert! I was actually referring towards classics I've been seeing lately on the street, especially in our area, not here in the forums.

Actually I'm here everyday, as I am co-owner of the company that operates this website.

Again, nice car, I love seeing them out there on the streets!
