How 'bout an original motor car w/non-original great color v. non-original motor w/original great color? Which do you pick (and you can't pick Ditka)? I know what I'd take (whatever it is you guys are taking!!).

NO BRAINER !! THe Original motor car is going in the paint booth.. LOL

Forgot! 4 speed or auto

Comes down to it. If the car Pops out at you and it fits your Bill(pegigree?,color,options,money,etc)then the car will end up in your garage.Hey some people buy rebodies,guess what?
That fits their Bill !!!

I know it cost a LOT of money to build a serious clone now a days and trying to get your money back is real hard.
Look at the e-body converts!!!!!

Rich,I couldn't agree more.With the cost of restorations going up,and the value of clones going down,there are some nice tribute cars out there at great prices.I fell in love with this car,and bought it for WELL under what the man had in her(the driveline and components were nearly 40k alone)that equated to about a third of a real one of simlilar quality restoration.

Yeah.. it's a fake,but i wanted something I could actually drive without cold sweats unlike some of my other real cars..out here every fifth car on the road is uninsured and powered by budweiser

That is...if we can get that "Denis" dude back from Lake Tahoe...he's relaxing and living the "good life" up there

**Late BrakeU2** · #68 09-13-2007, 07:22 PM

He's got the rotation figured out..being from No Ontario i'm sure when it turns white up there he'll be southbound to the valley of the sun

Mark...I'm not so sure. He LOVES to snowboard and doesn't have to go far to do it!
