Pulled the trigger on this one last week, at Shell Valley in Nebraska. It will be delivered next week. Always wanted a Cobra replica car, but always too many other things in the way, it seems. Anyway- after a year or more of dealing with this Covid mess, the loss of family members and friends, death of two next-door neighbors, my wife going thru 2 surgeries for breast cancer, and all the liberal craziness, it was time. This car was being sold on consignment for a gentleman who has been diagnosed with ALS, and is divesting himself of all his vehicles. I will have a lot of hoops to jump thru here in Colorado to get it titled and registered, but it will be worth it- this thing is an absolute kick to drive! I'm sure lots of you out there have your own Bucket List cars, or trucks- let's see 'em.

I'd like a 60's Ford truck, patina, short box, modern suspension with a twin turbo Coyote under the hood.
A slab side Shovel head bobber - zero engineering style.
I could also like a late 70's F250 with a Cummins in it. 4x4
A bull nose Bronco with a 7.3 in it would be fun too.
GF wants a 67 Mustang in red.

One day when I was 18 two of these passed me on Telegraph rd doing at least 140, one on each side, the noise was deafening and they shook my car like it was a rag doll. Ever since then the Superbird has been a dream.

Built this one pretty much from scratch after purchasing the raw carbon fiber body from a guy in Texas... [img] https://imageshack.com/i/pnRFRkm0j[/img] Probably will be selling it this year and looking for a 67 Nova SS that I can restomod I don't have the slightest idea why I can't post pics on this site....

I'd like to build a kit car - just to say I did it. I always wanted to build a replica of a Ferrari 250 GT California (Ferris Bueller Car).
but at my age there really is no car or truck I want in particular. I like sports cars but they are uncomfortable and there are no twisty roads or wide open spaces where I would really drive it like a sports car - so I might as well drive an Accord. Same logic with a truck I guess. I'll never tow more than a mower trailer or a jon boat.
I just see cars as 100% utilitarian now.

Ever since then the Superbird has been a dream. A kid in my class, about 5 after we graduated had 2 of those super birds, but they had the 440 in them not the Hemi!

Ever since then the Superbird has been a dream. My uncle had a 1969 Super Bee when I was a kid. It would bury the 160 mph speedometer.
