Hopefully it has a nicer interior than the SRT Charger has. That thing screams cheap

those are real nice, jay. was the 65 an original race car from back then, or a replica? either way, it's freakin sweet.

the guy we built that 55 olds gasser for had a 67 shelby gt 500 he sold at barrett jackon in '06 for $220,000. this was his......

Nice, wish mine was at level of resto. My wife watched the auction this past year and seeing the prices, she was all over me for getting my up to par. Just have not made the time....... the 65 was a replica, an original R, would be worth anywhere from $500K to a cool mil plus dependent on the history, not to mention there are only a handful of them.

Yes your American muscle cars are all very nice but here in the UK we like to do things with a little more fineness and style. This may not have the displacement but it sure turns the heads. :lol:

damn jay, those are some nice cars...

i LOVED the new mustang right up until i sat in one. imo it looks and feels too much like a ford truck from the inside. besides, EVERYBODY has one nowadays. not to mention its kinda sad that my 9 year old car is still faster than a new mustang gt.

i still like the new cobra enough to be able to overlook the interior. ;) and i like the old 03-04 cobras alot. i dont think i would be too upset if a 04 cobra replaced the trans am... i've been thinking about that for awhile actually. ever since jay said my car looked like a dustbuster now i just cant look at it the same way... (imo the 98-02 camaros look like a catfish)

i dig the new challenger as well. i should really be thinking about buying a home but if that car is half as cool as i think its gonna be... i'd want a white one so i could make believe i was that dude from vanishing point. :D 'cept i wouldnt be high on meth and run into a caterpiller at like 100mph...
