Work another year and buy a Kirkham or Retire?

Well, sure, but the Galaxie, Mustang and Fairlane don't look so good.

Now, if you're heading into musclecar category, then I've been catching a lot of the "Graveyard Carz" episodes lately and I'd rather see you driving an E body Mopar, ya know, a 1970 'Cuda or Challenger with a 440 and pistol grip 4 (or 5) speed. In fact, maybe even drop a 426 Hemi in there!

A 70 Hemi Cuda was one a my favorites, but nothing gives me a woody like a Cobra. Of all the cars I owned prior to the Cobra, my 68 Dodge Charger was my favorite. I love seeing the old Mopars at the car shows. Sad fact is my 68 had a lot of rust that I fixed in 1974 with only 70K miles. It wasn't the easiest to work on and the drum brakes sucked. I guess not for me.

So how about the " Nash Bridges Cuda", 4 speed 426 hemi

It was born as a 1970, then changed over to look like a '71

I've never owned a vintage Mopar before, uh, except for my 1966 Sunbeam Tiger.

But anyway, I digress. If I didn't have the Cobra, then I'd love to have a 1970 'Cuda or Challenger convertible. Olddog, I wouldn't buy any old POS, but with that $100,000+ you didn't use for the Kirkham, I'd buy the best 1970 'Cuda/Challenger resto-mod you could find and you would probably save a ton of money too.
