Default Anyone have an old Muscle Car?

Just wondering if anyone has an old muscle car from the '60s or early '70s?

I started a new site that is actually kind of fun and challenging at the same time. Working with some new hosting applications. It still needs some work and the graphics are in the works but I think it is a good start.

Tell me what you think

Oh that is very nice! I think we had a member on here a while back that had a muscle car themed lawn care business and he towed his trailer around with one.

That would most certainly stand out.

Thanks guys. I can't wait to see what the graphics guy comes up with for the header. It is going to be awesome. All Muscle cars all the time.

Bruce, the 442 convertible is my dream car. The grand national body style does not fit my taste but when it came to what was under the hood, the grand national had it going on.

That is a cool idea Steve but I don't think I could insult the muscle car in that manner... LOL

Here is the last banner he did for me.

the 442 was pretty quick even being a rag top ,I bought it off a drug dealer for $1000.00 who replaced the top ,then painted the entire car including all the chrome pieces a horrible wine colour ,I bought re-done bumpers,and cleaned up and re-painted the rest of it the proper gold colour,drove it for two summers then sold it for $10 000.00 [this was in 94 ] so my $3000.00 total investment went a long way .

Got one of the headers done. He is resizing for the main home page but it looks awesome.

That's the way to go. Not a bad investment. If you can get one for the right price they are a gold mine.
