Sunday, 01/21/18 Goin fer a Ride

[Phx Mike]

You can catch a ride with me any time Robert.

Next car you need to get is a 66 Fairlane 427. I don't know if that's your kind of hot rod but I always thought it would be cool to have one and since you are car-less....:-).

Just don't get a Corvette like Ratti did....

A real 427 Fairlane costs more than a Cobra. I think I've seen 2 of them in the last 50 years. Sweet car!

The big block Fairlanes are indeed uber-cool, but they are also unfortunately UBER-MEGA-HUGE. Any car that takes 3 minutes to walk from the driver's seat to the passenger's seat is just a little bit large for me.

And vettes? well... unlikely is all I would say. I've owned 4 of those already, and there is only one Corvette model left that I would have any interest in (64-67 hardtop roadster), and it would be a long search to find the right car to use as as a starting point for what I would do to it (because an NCRS concours restoration would be COMPLETELY off the table )

I'd build that sucker Guldstrand-style, with wide fenders, huge rubber, ginormous brakes, and 8 inch diameter sidepipes...

You know- the way a Chevy-powered Cobra SHOULD be built, hahaha
