Honestly, restomods are the way to go unless you have a really rare version. Cars are meant to be driven.

I would be careful of 60s car pricing. I spoke to a broker a few years ago - he mentioned don't buy anything in the 60s for the next 10 years (I want a 69 Camaro).

The thought is these baby boomers are buying what they had, inflating prices and the kids eventually won't want them. He said buy in the 80s now and sell that to buy the 60s car in 10 years.

All that said, it was just a discussion that gave me a different perspective. Could be wrong - we'll see…

I've been hearing that for 10 years. Us Gen Xers keeps buying classics and odd 80s cars are going up in price.

I'd kill for a GNX or Monte Carlo SS.



Or Denzel's car (this one has better wheels)

Yep. I have 2 friends w/ 68 Camaros, one w/ a numbers matching 305 or 327 and the other with a blown 502 (now 544 I think) w/ a modern chassis & suspension. Guess which one is more fun to drive and wins the car shows....

It's not even about big motors. It's about not regapping points every oil change, it's about fuel injection and not pumping the gas 7 times to start the car or cranking and cranking to fill the float bowl after the car has sat for two weeks. It's about disc brakes and not having to ride you drum brakes after hitting a puddle, it's about quality sound systems, and decent air conditioning.

My father's friends we're building chop-tops and driving old '32 hot rods. I'm mostly interested in 60's vehicles, not because I was alive then but those are the cars my father drove. I really want a 67 Plymouth Sport Fury.

While I love the Grand Nationals, nobody I knew in the 80s drove one. I do however have some interest in 90s vehicles. Primarily the 98 or 99 2dr Tahoe as an entry level future collectible and '96 Viper GTS as a higher end collectible.

Slightly off topic but I'm restoring a 67 Sport Fury currently. Will have a transplanted 505 and a 68 back end. Slightly unorthodox but it'll be my car!

I'm really thinking about this one.

Its a restomod. Original frame, body, 327, etc. He added boosted disk brakes, fuel injection, suspension, new interior with original seat frames, etc. Motor has been rebuilt with a little hotter cam. Car is pretty dang tight. It has a couple small scratches so it can be driven.

Going to look at it seriously in a week or two when my wife has recovered from surgery as she knows more about those cars than I do. While it is a restomod, it is done right. Looks completely stock but doesn't sound stock.

He has me really curious at least.

What?

Did they put one of those ports at the base of her skull like in the Matrix and she downloaded the classic sports car module?

---

She raced 60s Mustangs for years so she knows her way around them really well and Vettes/Novas/etc pretty well.
