My mom wants me to stop working on my truck because she is afraid I will break it. she wants to buy me a classic car to restore instead. it was her idea. I have a great mom:tu:. I was thinking like a '67 mustang or something of the likes. yes, my dream would be to score a Shelby GT 500 and turn it into eleanore. Im not going to make it into a pro stock dragster or anything. I would like to use the parts made for it but I dont care about "matching numbers" and all that BS. Does anyone have anything like this or know a good way to get one other than ebay? I am looking in the under 4K range.

buy an old Vetter, 68-82, cheap, lots of parts, easy to work on, and can have a lot of power potential depending on the engine.. just my .02
There are handling packages out there for them so that you can pull over 1g in the corners.

How about a 72 911s, that is sitting in my garage?

Oh yeah, I remember that one. I asked about it when I came over. I dont know, if you could hook me up with a sweet price then sure i'll take it. but I would rather have something american. Parts would be MUCH eaiser, and cheaper to get.

Actually, the parts are very easy to get, but they do cost more than a Chevy. The Lightning parts are priced higher than the Porsche. You can easily get a built 911 longblock for less $ than a built L longblock for instance.

$6K as is, built motor, low hours, new brakes, and new adjustable trailing arms. Lot's more stuff too. I will be putting it in the local PCA classifieds this month.

I have new extra wheels and race tires available for extra $.
