Help me make a decision on a 1:1 ** DECISION MADE** PICS

Not alot of cars then or now that would be as b*tchen to drive as that 'cuda in Scott's pictures. 500KR's, Z-28's. Hemi Chargers. If you know what it takes to care for a vintage, and you're willing to never let it out of your sight, and you possess the self-control to withhold any violence should anybody ding it, well, maybe vintage would be cool. New car bennies: It's new. Cheaper insurance. Better gas mi. You could leave it in the parking lot with a nice alarm. You MIGHT let someone else go around the block with it. So go buy a new Challenger, make the dealer squeal like a pig, paint it vintage plum -crazy or whatever you dig, and "personalize" it as only you could.

That there would be Johnny! Hope I can make it though... We'll see. Called the vintage restorers yesterday (brick Street Muscle) and they gave me the jist of it. Seems like insurance is cheaper than a new car...from what he told me. Getting a loan is fairly easy as well. They have a nice Chevelle in there with rally stripes. Wanting around 60K for it though LOL I put a spreadsheet together yesterday...and it came out to around 75K reds and blackwalls that I'll part with. Gonna try and sell as a collection first... LOL and then go from there. The convention would help take care of many of them, but if its slow, then it will be tough still.

Thanks Bass, you know I'd be pissed if someone dung either or LOL. I'm still leaning with vintage...just not much out there. If someone gets any leads on anything, swing it my way. Thanks fellas

Good luck selling the collection...maybe contact Joel at fxtoys or Gerrie here on this site, I believe I have both emails if you're interested.

Here's a car or two to consider!!!

There's more...man, I can spend hours dream shopping at Hemmings!!!

Just my two cents. I would never go through a professional restorer. You most likely could buy a Chevelle that was at least 97% of what they are offering for half the money. (or less if you are willing to do the work to find one).

Point well taken Perry...I know what you mean. I'm going to start doing some research... I'll find one...and I'll be patient doing it. If I sell my toys that would help, but I can dig up some cash regardless... If something shows up now, I'll bite, but otherwise, sometime next year is good too..

Thanks again Scott, those are sweet... 30K out of my price range, but I could dig it up somehow... I probably have that in some motorcycles I don't need LOL

Jimbo,
Check your PM's, I sent you some information you might be able to use!

I love how these banner ads work (not complaining). I'm getting an ad for a 2010 Charger at some auto mall. LOL

Hands down...go vintage iron. Always wanted a 68 Charger...ended up with a few Stangs instead...

Can't go wrong with the classics.

this is my 08' SRT and sorry to say i won't buy another vintage car after owning this. sure old cars hold their value, but these are much more comfortable and fast. you can run low 13's with the a/c on and it doesn't over heat while idling. plenty of mods and upgrades out there to choose from.there's just something about sticking to a vinyl seat in the summer that doesn't appeal to me anymore lol
