Just like '62 to '68. History has a way of repeating itself.

I apologize for starting this tread over again. I really didn't see it before. Take it as another opportunity to argue amongst yourselves.

Another picture

Best thread drift ever. So much to discuss, argue and disagree with, so little time.

Which brings me to the answer.....Willy Wonka.

The Question. Who is fordracing65's 3rd Grade teacher?

Really? You still persist in that story? In third grade? that must have been a sight. A 3rd grader kicking the ass of a chit talking third grade teacher out back by the swing sets and monkey bars. Astonishing how you continue to embarrass yourself and don't even realize it.

Also, since you obviously still approach the solutions to your frustrations like a 3rd grader you'll be happy to know the last thing I do is hide behind a key board. If you think I need my ass kicked and would like to "come on down" I'll give you the address and even directions. No problem at all. Understand though I'm not a midget. That's all I'll say.

The last guy who was "going to kick my butt" from this forum years ago never showed up. I'm still here. You won't be another "no show" will you? Presures on now. You walked yourself into that one!!! It's all part of talking "big".

Just let me know.

Rodney: I believe the cost is $350k.

When I kicked your ass you would sue me, that is how you would pay your hospital bills, give me a break, we could arrange a fight for charity, the loser gives his cobra to auction to sell, trust me you don't want that, we could meet halfway, say in Texas, the laws their for people like me will keep me out of jail longer than jersey, DEAD SERIOUS...

This is just too much fun!

Oh, no, no, no. You offered to kick my ass since I'm clearly the one that needs it. . Not the reverse. Stop looking for a way out now. You're committed in front of the world. You come to me as you offered. Don't back out now or find excuses or tie this to some charitable purpose.

This is not a charity fight. This is a good ol' ass kicking that needs to be done just like that 3rd grade teacher.

No worries about legal liability. We can execute Mutual Releases for the event or "ass kicking". I'll even draft them free of charge. I can even host it at my Krav Maga Dojo in Dunellen NJ (Rt. 28). Come on out "DEAD SERIOUS".

Just let me know when there Mr. "DEAD SERIOUS".

P.S. My car is not for sale nor will it be in the foreseeable future. Further, I'm not a homophobe so you need not worry being around me. Do you just pick on old homophobes or do you beat up younger ones too?

That's McCluskey territory.
As much as a Kirkham fan that I am, for all that dough, I'd also want the accuracy and take the McC coupe.
I believe that Shelbys and Kirkhams have their place in the hobby, but combining the two is a bit odd to me.

Yes, I agree. There is an early McCluskey coupe in the museum at Shelby HQ in Vegas. It is a gorgeous vehicle and VIN'd in sequence to the originals (my recollection, I'll have to check my pics)

But... Didn't McCluskey sell his Coupe business to Kirkham.
