Nice Dan.

This is one of the reasons I bought my car, the shape, stance and silhouette of the 07-09 500s really remind me of this car.

I have a line on an original Boss 429 engine, in the crate.

And no, I'm not saying who has it. I'm dickering downward on the price.

+1 ...the 07-9 are modern classics already, imo.

Love that sound.

;-) ...that first one sounds like it has no choke ...really lopey (needed some pedal for a while) until it warms a bit. ...the second one looks sooooo cherry too!! ...wish they'd just blip it a little tho :doh2:

Thats engine sounds better than an obscene phone call.

I LOVE the '69 body style.

I wish I still had some pictures of the '69 Mach 1 I had.

I agree completely

I think it's the 'hips' and the hip-scoop, etc ...such a sensuous design.

There was a guy on SU (spring of 2006? -- way before TS) that was taking 2006 S197 GTs and modding them with '69-like 'hips' etc. Very nice looking work but we could never get a price estimate from the guy. If I recall he was in Michigan.

Lemme see if I saved a pic...

Ah, yes! Nick Gavriles was the guy ...and here's a pic of what he was offering -- very cool!

Greg, how cool would a Darkmobile look with those hips? :banana: ;-)

(I better hide before momma D hunts me down for this -lol)
