The start point was a 1934 3 window Plymouth with big block chev.
That car is now off the market though.
But I have resigned myself to the fact that I just dont use it as much as I should, and right now (having just bought our retirement house) $70k cash would just about pay to do the extensions and renovations we would have been holding off to do when we sell our house in Alice.
The boss has said I can buy what I want with money from our house sale in Alice.
So a Daytona is high on the list, but a Club Reg Stratos has a very high chance of making the cut too.
Always wanted a Cobra, and now have owned one, I no doubt will regret my decision the minute I shake hands on a deal, but I will want a roof and water tight when we move south (No Cobra will ever be truly water tight) and as nice as the hardtops are, to me a Cobra is an open top car.
