What other Classic/Collector Cars/Trucks do you own?
I've often wondered what other Classic/Collector Cars/Trucks that Cobra owners also have in their garage....thinking pre-1976 with 1975 being the last year CA cut off smog requirements.
I've ending up with a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 1970 Chevrolet CST10 4X4. |
1968 Chevy Nova 350
1967 Chevy SS/RS Camaro 396/375 |
A 1963 Mercury 2dr post with a healthy 460/ C6. Was a 390/ 3spd std. also a 1949 Ford F3 in progress.

'65 Mustang and a 1976 Bronco that I held onto for 10 freeking years waiting for the 30-year smog exemption to catch up, until that b....ch got the bill passed that stopped it with 1975 models. Still have plans to make a Big Oly replica out of it.

move to PA.....you can do what ever you like up to a 79.......and just a visual smog inspect up to around mid 90's........there's 80's and 90's fox body mustangs with 460's in em that are legal....

The ironic thing is - one can have a kit Cobra built or build one yourself and go for an SB100 smog exemption - but, any 'normal' car or truck 1976 or newer cannot be exempted. Seems more than passingly strange. I'm I missing something? |
I still own the 1973 Honda CB500 motorcycle I bought back in 1973 :)
She's back in the back of a storage shed, where she has resided for the past 28 years. I stopped riding her the day my daughter was born, figured that with 32,000 accident free miles on her it was my turn, and I didn't want my daughter to grow up knowing her father as an invalid. Now that my daughter is grown and out on her own, I'm sure I'll spend way more than it's worth restoring it some day. The bike's name is Myrtle...because anything that feels that good between my legs just gotta be named Myrtle!!! :LOL: Cheers from Dugly :cool: |
why cut it off at 76 we don't have smog regulations over here in holland so with us the classic is much younger
if you hold on to the 76 line than i cant tell you what i have ( lol ) cos it's from 1977 only 4 of them in the world so fairly rare regards michel |

The smog stuff on the '76 is ugly...stuff like a smog pump. I'm not giving up on it by any means. |

Actually, CA simply picked 75 as the last year that smog 'stuff' would not be subject to year built smog regulations and testing - makes no sense. Of course, 1970 was the last year of the cool muscle car but at least in CA, anything pre-1976 can be turned into anything you want without considering smog regulations. Holland? You probably don't have a smog problem anyway - but, those Holland Coffee Shops generate a lot of smoke. |
well the coffee shops don't smoke that much LOL
but what i have in my shed is this a 1977 jaguar xj12 c broadspeed coupe that they raced with in 1977 in the european touring car championship against the bmw csl http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...05/Afb0040.jpg http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...005/nr4car.jpg |
a 65 mustang ,46 chev ute ,41 chev truck
|
1979 Jeep CJ-7 with 304 V-8, 3 speed, 4 inch lift, Dick Cepek wheels with BFG's, new paint & interior, etc. Bought it for my son's 16th birthday in 1991. He says it's his, but the title is still in my name!

Although, I'm sure it's a fun car to drive. I've often wondered what will happen to the entire classic/collector car industry in say 50 years. Will a whole new generation take over the classic enthusiast role? Will anything prior to the 80's be collectable, except for possibly some of the expensive exotics? |

2004 Mustang Cobra Terminator For Sale (Screaming Yellow Convertible) - SVTPerformance My guess is that you paid much more - yes, only 161 made - but, used price dropped significantly already - plus the outlook doesn't seem bright for a price increase in our lifetimes - there are ton of 'special' limited production mustangs out there - I doubt that any of them will be truly collectible, meaning (to me) that the price will increase over time. |

Cool Ride of the Month Look at the size of those back tires (plus it's got a Cheve 502 in it)! |
