I'm in love

**KiddTech** · 10-15-2004, 05:18 PM

*major drool* Love at first sight. Someone want to donate one?

**Fox** · 10-15-2004, 05:46 PM

I think it's pretty cool...I don't really like the front end though. I'm much more partial to 80's mustangs, though I base this solely on appearance- I've never driven a Mustang before.

**w00t** · 10-15-2004, 05:51 PM

Ah the love of a stock super-charged v-8. Uber Shcweet but I can't even afford a tube of thermal grease right now, but maybe if everbody started selling fundraising candy we could get our favorite administrator a new 2005 mustang.

Sorry, KT, but I have a problem making a donation for a Ford product.

**Fox** · 10-16-2004, 09:29 AM

In my eyes right now is a late-60's Buick Riviera, not sure exactly what the year is, but it's the one with the single headlights, straight front, and it's jet black. Don't think it could be more than 5k...

I'll get a pic as soon as I can.

**jgvernonco** · 10-17-2004, 03:15 PM

Hey, that looks like a Mustang!

Nothing has veen remotely looked like a Mustang in...25 - 30 years!

If they bring back the Mustang, the sales of other cars in it's class will wither, including Ford's. It would be a terrible business decision!

Is that really a new model idea?

Do they know that the original prospered before cops had radar?

**KiddTech** · 10-17-2004, 03:31 PM

I think that one was chopped. (photoshop)

Now, here are some pics of a real one. Don't care for the color (I want all black) or the big wing. Find it strange where they put the battery, and they moved my air filter to the other side.

Latest news is they will be slowly getting to lots for the next six months, as one of the contracters has not delievered all the parts or something like that like. so finding them 5,000+ over MSRP will be pretty common.

**KiddTech** · 10-17-2004, 03:32 PM

more pics

batty_professor · 10-17-2004, 09:24 PM

Elanor! ( gone in 60 seconds)

**Fox** · 10-18-2004, 09:35 AM

Looks like a Mitsubishi...I think they've killed it.

**w00t** · 10-18-2004, 04:55 PM

Shelby does sell a 350gt E edition (Elanor) looks just like the one int the movie. As for the mitsubishi comment I think the styling is o.k. I just don't like how they are trying to copy the little street racers with the carbon fiber hood that doesn't match the paint if the car was one color than o.k. but two colors like that is awful. I personaly think they should revive crusher blue (I am probably wrong about the name, it was that color they put on there 70 mustangs as a limited time offer deal)

Also Mr. Chevy I also do not like fords, put me in a 69 vet or a dart and I am set but I will take a stang over a civic any day.

This is my favorite car: 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello

Chevy · 10-18-2004, 05:35 PM

For a classic car .... The Oldsmobile 442, 1967 vintage ....

For something a bit newer .... The 1995 Porsche 928GT

batty_professor · 10-18-2004, 05:53 PM

I drive a '67 cutlass, no longer in too good a shape, need to do some work. Bought in April 1974. Sons 67 442 took over the garage for a while.

**Fox** · 10-18-2004, 06:28 PM

I like that 442.

Since I walked home from school today, I got a closer look at that Buick I'd mentioned earlier- it's a 65 Riviera. Window ad says perfect mechanical order, 80k miles, with some cosmetic damage (which I don't give a rats rear end about). 6000 bucks, and the interior looks taken care of. Maybe I should consider her.

What do you guys think?

batty_professor · 10-18-2004, 07:08 PM

The '65 Rivieras were nice cars in their day, a luxury sport coupe. My mom had one. 425 , 4barrel, duals, pretty fast and loved premium fuel. $6000 sounds a little steep if it needs body repair, depends how much. :4-money:

Marque · 10-18-2004, 07:14 PM

Im with fox about the 442.
The saleen that started the thread is sweet.

**Fox** · 10-18-2004, 07:45 PM

I think I may have exaggerated the extent of the blemishes...you know how on some older cars the paint gets that matte look to it- nonreflective, but still painted? It's like that, and a little of what I call "mottling", kinda like rust that's been painted over, except it doesn't look like rust...don't know how to describe it. Maybe I'll get a pic of it sometime and post it-it's actually quite a looker, aside from that minor stuff.

Woot.... I think that color is called "Grabber Blue", along with "Grabber Green" and "Grabber Yellow".
Fox.... would that car happen to be painted a metallic color?

It doesn't come stock with a carbon fiber hood. That had some aftermarket stuff on it. Here is what it will look like stock. Sadly, i can't find any really good pictures I like of it stock. They are white, or just a bad angle.
