"C5 Chevrolet Corvette (1997–2004), the Honda S2000 (2000–2009), to the 1981–1987 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup." I don't consider these 'modern' vehicles something to be compared against 50+ year old cars from the 50's and 60's and even the 70's. The folks in both of my Chrysler 300 (original letter series from 55-65 and 70 Hurst) drive the pants off of their cars every year. Thousands of miles every year, all around the country. ...

All my mopar buddies are jealous because I was born on 4-26! I had a 392 Hemi in my 57 Chrysler 300C, and have a 5.7 in my 2005/06/07 Chrysler 300C Commemorative Edition Station Wagon (made out of an 05 Magnum, 06 300, and 07 300C commemorative edition side trim). ... View more

I wish they had taken at least some of their design work and applied it to a new 300 'Letter Car', with only 2 doors and a high output engine. There would be one in my garage next to the 61 300G and 70 Hurst 300. I also don't get why they didn't offer a convertible in the Challenger, and that isn't really touched upon in the story. Still looking around for an SRT-8 Challenger drop top done nicely to buy into. ... View more

Just awful and sad. A once proud name, and the last one isn't even an SRT-4 version? Think I'd rather have a K-car or minivan. ... View more

With all the listings in Hemmings and other magazines of clones, replica, and kit cars, I'm surprised that no one has ever endeavored to reproduce the amazing looks of the 63 Turbine car with a modern day drivetrain. It would be cool to have a modern 5.7/6.1/6.4/Hellcat drivetrain in one of these bodies that could be driven around much more than an original. ... View more

All companies use the same CAD/CAM software to get the coefficient of drag they need for either gas mileage or electric range, and that's why you can't tell a Hyundai from a BMW. ... View more

I regret the sale of the Jensen Interceptor I once had. It was a very low mileage original. I got a good deal on it originally, so when I sold it after 4 or 5 years of ownership I felt good about moving it on, but now regret the sale having seen where the prices have jumped to. I won't be getting another at today's prices. I sort of regret the 'purchase' of a Citroen SM that I had. I got it for free, since it was languishing behind a gas station awaiting arrival of the junkyard scrap pick up. I did get it running and driving, and it had a nice interior, but terminal rust underneath and when hydraulic lines that were impossible to reach began popping, it was sold as a parts car. Engine ran pretty well, but needed work on the distributor. I had some fun with it and made some money on it, but glad I sold it. The problem is that I never got the SM out of my system, and they've gotten to be even more expensive than the Jensen! ... View more

STill not worth the money they're bringing these days. I'd rather enjoy a much more affordable MG Midget, which is also a much better driving/handling car if you want something tiny. For small car with performance, maybe even a Honda S2000. What are the really early CVCC's bringing these days? ... View more

I think a Ford 260 or 289 is a better way to go. Tub the rear and get some big tires on the rear. ... View more

There's no such thing as 'government' expense. The only money the government has is what it takes from its citizens, unless it does the disastrous printing press method, which causes such inflation that the EV's are still unaffordable to most of the citizens whose life savings have been eroded by the bad economics of it all. ...

I have a couple of Chrysler 'Letter Cars' that have 375HP and gobs of torque, that I hardly ever put my foot all the way into anymore. It's nice to know it's there, and there are still places on isolated entrance ramps to interstates that they can 'breathe' for a bit, but to really get the adrenaline flowing, my silly little 72 MG Midget with its 1275 cc engine, somewhat worn suspension, and bucket of bolts engineering is the most fun you can have at 35 mph. You can terrify passengers and neighborhood pets without breaking the speed limit! ... View more

It's the 'psychological' or 'emotional' aspect of 'giving in' to old age that keeps me from wanting to thin out the herd/downsize the fleet.  I consider myself quite fortunate to have the 'dream car' that I always wanted, so I guess it shouldn't matter if all the others go away except for a daily driver/winter beater, but it took my whole life to assemble the small stable of 3 'toy' cars that I have, and I know that once they're gone, they're gone for good, as I wouldn't spend what it would take to recreate them or find other versions. ...

Same thing happens to me whenever I start prepping a car to sell.  I look at all the documentation, detail it up for photos, fix niggling little annoying things for a perfect stranger that I didn't fix for myself, and then realize again why I bought it in the first place, and then decide to keep it a while longer. 😉 ...
