Bit the Bullet
Well, after 50 years of lusting for one of these cars, I bit the bullet yesterday and am now the proud owner of a 2001 Superformance car with a 427 SO engine. Sure looks good sitting in the garage

Congrats!  It'll leave a smile on your face whenever you take it out (not to mention just looking at it - Rodknock can confirm this  )

Thanks everyone. It's probably going to be in the garage for a couple of weeks just doing service on it and tweeking all the little nits to get it like I want it. Well, I guess if it's like my other hobbies, it'll NEVER be exactly like I want it ! But part of the fun is trying to reach that goal

Ted,
It will look even better with you in it on the road! Spend as little time as possible in the garage! Have fun!

Well, I've been laughing my butt off reading your guys responses. The "couple of weeks in the garage" has now been over six weeks ! The engine has been out and is now back in the car but I've still got a lot of work to do to get it all back together again. Should have had it running a couple of weeks ago, but sometimes life gets in the way. And now, I'm on a three week motorcycle ride. This retirement stuff is hard !  I'll post some pics when I get it back together.
