It appears to be a good deal too.

Got pink?

I see it has 'real' power steering and brakes - are there fakes?

It also has a true unibody, which is very good--the false ones mark you as a drug smuggler.

(Did they really have unibodies on those vintage Lincolns? Maybe that's why the sheet metal was so heavy on one I saw once....)

Yeah, next time you see an old one look where the front fenders meet the front header panel - it's all one piece. It's more obvious on a 60s' one (these 4 door converts are a favorite of mine):



I've heard they can develop a sag in the middle.

I drove one of these in High School. (Thanks Dad,) Even at late 60s gas prices it left me with precious little cash to spend on things I might get in trouble with. You sure can get a lot of your friends in their with you though. The front seat would lean waaaay back and made date nights at the drive in movies most enjoyable.

( I tried to use the "Insert Image" dohickey at the top of the page and ended up with no picture. Same thing has been happening over at AK the past couple of days. Anybody know what might be wrong?)

Wow.

Ever notice how you can't have 'top' styling without threatening to be 'OTT?'

That Ferrari cuts it real close....

Agreed. But I think Ferraris have been a little tame looking the last few years, I'd probably end up going with a Lambo. I'll be looking after I pick out my Rolls

That one's a concept. The front calipers aren't using the entire rotor
