Ed, How about a 50's Cobra? A big ol'hairy J2X Cad-Allard, with 3speed GM truck tranny  My uncle Dick (Not really my uncle) but we always called him that. He had 2- one for street and one to chase them "Little Furrin Cars" at the track (Ferraris, Maserati, Jags). He'd come in after a race all sweaty & worn out from herding that ol'horse and say I caught and passed a few of "Them Sum of-*****es"  Side note: after retiring from racing he owned many Ferraris in his life-time, so you can teach an old dog new tricks  Changing the topic back, I had a JCF 289 street, with C-4 Auto and a mild 289 (320HP) very nice driving car, just a little too tame for me, maybe when I get OLD (Gosh I'm only 67yo) I'll buy another Automatic Cobra, but right now it's a 5 or 6 speed. Cheers Tom.
