Well next month will be a year I've run this post with no one replying they've seen another Hemi/Vette street car. Answers my question as to how rare this old girl is.. Great! I'll still keep driving on sunny days and showing off. I like the unusual and my cars show that, (each modified to...

I'm a retired pilot who has loved older car and road racing for all of my 78 years. I currently own a 72 Porsche 911, I've owned it for 20+ years and have upgraded/modified everything, then a 1993 Classic Mini cooper, slightly upgraded and a 65 Corvette roadster. I've had the corvette for 5...

I purchased this C2 roadster about 3 years ago. I owned a 65 about 50 years ago and this was so unique I couldn't turn it down. The family of the fellow who built it did contact me with a little info about their dad who built it. So my question: has anyone in the U.S. built another one like...

I'm sorry but I liked the old style. Now it looks like only a few new threads and just a bunch of older ones. Plus the Friday Funnies are gone????????
