Another project I have going on right now. A 66' fastback. The guy grabbed a little too much throttle going through a turn, and got up-close and personal with a big ole tree. He was ok other than some bumps and bruises. His car was not ok. The whole front end was trashed, So, off with the old and on with the new... He decided to do a full resto.

That Boss is tight. I'm looking for a Boss motor for my Falcon. Mini tubbed, 4spd and a Boss 302. It wont be fast, but it will be fun.
If it isn't broke, I haven't driven it yet.

Those are sweet hoop... not much of a Pontiac man myself, but after seeing one of those on TV, I'd switch.

Not me, I've wanted a Miura SV more than anything for about 20 years now. 2nd place would be a 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO. About 20 years as #2 on that one too. My 3rd place is a very distant 3rd and it changes almost daily.

I do love those 70's Firebirds though, they are sweet.

Just to give a little perspective on my taste. I've always been a big fan of Italian and other exotic cars. Living in NYC I get to see them quite a bit, I work 3 blocks away from the Lambo/Porsche/Lotus/Spyker/Bently/Rolls/etc and one block from a shop that puts stereos and other crap in cars like that. I see new Lambos and Aston Marins and whatnot almost daily. One of the coolest things I had seen in years I came across one night coming home from a bar. Sitting outside some other bar was an orange 69 Charger with a black push bar and Dukes wheels on it. No 01 stickers, but just about everything else. I about lost it, it was so bad ass. Then and there I realized that monetary value aside, I'd take that car over any Murcielago or Enzo any day. That was one of the cars that got me interested in cars to begin with.

so, what kind of rc10 would you need to see to switch to building them instead of everything else? :)
