Here's the rest of it: http://jungle.net/tone/c64car.jpg

Yeah, it's one of the few cars I've had that I wasn't bored with in a couple of months.


get a Vette... you'll never be bored... :)

One of the late 70s/early 80s Stingray models is kind of on my list, but they're the only ones that catch my eye and old cars are a pain I've dealt with too often.


hehehe... I used to have oldER cars that I fixed up.  twin turbo 85 camaro puttin down 700rwhp, 505 BBC in the car before the twin turbo setup, 68 Camaro w/a 383 sbc + 6-71 blower.  After a while I got tired of old cars.  I wanted something with a/c, smooth ride and can put down some quick 1/4 ET's so I got my vette. It has all the bolt-ons + a cam kit, currently at 446rwhp.  I'm piecing together a nitrous kit and it'll be bottle fed 125hp :)

I am in negotiations for a 1971 VW Karmann Ghia coupe that needs lots of work.  If I ever have the money and do get the car, I would like to flip the trans to make it a mid-engine and either build a high performance VW motor, or install a turboed Subaru or Mazda Rotary and wildly customize the rest of the car.  Since I live in Big Bear Lake, at about 7,000 ft. above Sea level I don't need A/C.  Windshield defogging/defrosting might be a bit of a challenge, but I doubt I would drive it in the Winter anyway.

Might be a fun mountain road ralley style of fun car.  It amazes me that there is still an active aircooled VW industry and community.  My Son's first car is a 1971 VW Beetle project car we are chopping into a Baja Bug and should be ready to use by next Spring.  I am enjoying the nostalgia of working on old VW's again.  Goes hand-in-hand with my nostalgic Amiga collection.  Guess I am just a retro kind of guy.:lol:


Edit:  If I had the money for a Vett, it would have to be a 1963 split rear window model.


nothin wrong with that :)   I used to have a 62 VW Bug (ragtop).  Completely restored it going with the "Cal look".. torque thrust kinda rims, lowered, all original.  I put a 1641cc engine in there, nothing real radical, just a little bigger than stock.  I like Ghias, especially for drag racing :)
