Whenever I hear "they're only original once" pertaining to crusty, rusted hulk barn finds of muscle cars or classics, it always makes me think of someone who marries a super model, then dresses her in rags. Just because the car was abused doesn't mean that you have to continue the abuse. If the original condition is pristine, or nearly so, fine, but if it makes you sad to look upon it's tattered visage, by all means, restore it or pass it along to someone who will. ... View more

Great job! Numbers matching is fine for those who just want to look at a car and never drive it. You and your daughter will have 1000 times more fun with your "GTO" than the perfection seekers will with theirs! ... View more

And within hours of the enactment of this law, someone will attempt to fix their anti-lock brake system, electric power steering, or other complicated system, have an accident, and successfully sue the car manufacturer for a faulty design. Multiply this by thousands of backyard mechanics, and it spells doom for the industry.  ... View more

Back in the 1980s, when they were throw-aways, I destroyed several very valuable cars by modifying them. I had two 1969 Dodge Super Bees, one was an original low mile survivor, stock right down to the hubcaps and functional hood scoops, several Road Runners, including a 440 - 4 speed that was highly optioned, with bucket seats, console, 8 track player and more. Red with blacked out hood panel. a 1970 Barracuda, a 1970 Challenger, and many others came and went. Looking back, I wish I had been able to keep them all, but I sure had fun with them! ...

I'm intrigued by the picture of Scott Harvey in what appears to be a '64 - '66 Mopar A body, either a Valiant of Barracuda with a 4 speed transmission. That seems to me like a unique choice for rally racing.  ... View more

Over the years, I've owned 2 Corvettes, a '58, and an '81, both triple black. I gave the '58 to a friend in 1969, and sold the '81 in '98 to purchase a new Camaro Z-28 for my wife. Fun cars, but as a card-carrying Moparian, I never got attached to them. ... View more

My wife has a 1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow that has an A/C system that, like everything in the UK is either under-engineered, like Lucas electrics, or totally OVER engineered, like the A/C system in the Rolls. A very expensive car to repair, when the A/C stopped working, she only drives it in cool weather.  ... View more

I just went through this with my "triple black" 1999 Jaguar XK8 convertible that I bought from a towing yard. The damage wasn't enough to set off the air bags, just crack the plastic facia and one headlight cover, which I fixed easily enough, but they totalled a gorgeous, low mileage car for that. After the same "rotors out of spec" announcement, and some unkind words for DMV from the CHP officer who asked "why in Hell did they send you here? This thing's beautiful!" I had "Miss Kitty" back on the road. ... View more
