Billy is correct! Us old farts appreciate the fact that these cars are being "restored" cause we remember when they ran.

You had to live the days of the "Muscle Car" era to really appreciate what it was. The new cars are impressive, but how many 20-30 year olds can buy them? How many of us old farts can afford to buy them? The 20-30 year olds are buying the "feriners" stuff.

The 20-30 years old could afford the "Muscle Cars" of the era and bought them by the truckload! I am glad that I grew up in the era and was fortunate enough to buy 3 of 'em new off the show room floor!

Keep findin' 'em and keep restorin' 'em! Please!

no one is correct, everyone has an opinion and this old fart lived the days of the "Muscle Car."

1320, then you understand. It was a very good time in the automotive industry and a very good time to be young an automotive enthuisiast!

It would sure be fun to race again in front of the crowds that were at the race tracks then. We won't see that again. Sad!

Ed if you have nothing positive to add stay off this thread. Some of us truely enjoy the history that these cars represent. Go back to yb.

Doug it says "member" under your name just like mine. I stated my opinion on this open discussion forum. Sorry my opinion isn't the same as yours.

Curt Rees · 03-02-2012, 02:35 PM

1320 stated his opinion, and that is fine. I just wonder how many posts would be made if people had to state their real name? Maybe 20% of the ones now?

The older I get the more I appreciate seing cars that once impacted the sport we all love.
I also recognize and appreciate the ongoing progress in the sport we all love.
So thanks to those who restore and thanks to those who invest in the current cars that will become the colectables of the future.
