so true. I have a 65 Jaguar Mk10 B Limo...one of three built to serve British Embassy's in Washington DC, South Africa and Germany. Rare...yes. Nice conversation bit at a show or CnC? yup. adds to value?... somewhere between probably not and no. Maybe if you were one of the people who were the driver's of that particular car during period you might pay a bit more for "your" car, but that's a really small pool of potential attractors (and knowing the age of one of the drivers who drove our car, he'd be 90 now so probably not all that interested in it). ...

its like putting a Chevy engine in a Jag. The whole of the experience is that V12 on song. No Jag engine? It might as well be a Vette or some other mundane form of transportation. E in a Stang? same thing. LARGE part of the experience is, as ATLPaul says the roar of the V8. Would you really want your Roush Mustang to just go 'woosh' when you stand on the go pedal? ...

even if I had the money, not a one of them interest me. The 64 comes the closest with the only visual change the lowered ride height and Hildebrandt-style wheels. Both would/could of been period modifications, of which could easily be rectified. BUT... with all the add'l body mods new AM chassis and modern running gear, there is nothing really original about the car. Nor any of the others for that matter ... View more

Really nice looking proportions as others have said. My guess is, had it been considered later, say 64 or 65 and not a first year design element, it might have been a seller. My other guess is the expected sales numbers for a Chevrolet/GM product (sales numbers down in the range that BL was happy with for the E 2+2, MGBGT and Triumph GT6) were waaaay to low to be considered a viable product to mess with. ...

sucks...thanks a lot Hagerty.... I bought one of these - 440 6 pack with 4 spd white vinyl over green w/green interior in 1983 for $400. It had front end issues and even though I rebuilt it it still sat "wonkie". Guy at the alignment shop thought it had been hit or curbed somehow and that the frame might have been tweaked. At that point I couldn't get "hard parts" (except for wrecking yards) so I sold it for $500 a couple of weeks later. Not you throw un in my face that my $400 car is now well over $100k...thanks...why don't you twist the knife as well... 😉 ... View more

Looks more Buick Riviera than a Caddy. So as opposed to a "match made in heaven", would this be the match made in ... somewhere else? Ugly doesn't even begin to describe it. Seats and steering wheel plucked from the Eldorado, Hubcaps and wide whites has a mid-70's Seville inspired look goin on. That front is definitely Riviera. The rear a mix of Eldo and Riv. Just no...please...no. Unfortunately, some things you just can't un-see... ... View more

A guy that traded at my Dad's service station in east Texas stopped by once and told him about an old race car down in Kilgore that  he thought was for sale if Dad was interested.  Dad said he was and the guy got back to him a couple of weeks later with the owners phone number and address. We went down to see it the following Friday. A nice, well preserved Lotus 18, for $3,300 (this was in 1990 if I remember). Dad offered him $3,000 and the guy said no. Well, we told the guy we'd think on it over the weekend. Dad called him Monday morning to tell him we'd go ahead at take it at $3,300.    The guy said he sold it over the weekend for his asking price. Turns out the enclosed trailer it was sitting in was included in the deal. Here is a car that has been sitting for years (decades), unknown and not for sale. We go look at it and it gets sold on the same weekend.    Well it bothered me as to why such a car would be way out in east Texas so I started digging (this the early days of the internet). Turns out, there was an "international" race at the Kilgore airport in the early 60's and this car had participated in the event. Owned and driven by Phil Hill ... View more

By the time the 2nd gen (58-60) T Bird hit the market, it was no longer competing with the Vette. As a four seater, it had moved into the "sport" luxury car field...of which it was a late comer to a select few cars anyway (Chrysler 300 comes to mind). That said, I wish I still had the 60 Bird that I had back in high school in the early 70's. Fully loaded, canary yellow with black rolled/pleated interior, and Fenton 2 piece mags (torque thrust style centers in chrome rims).  Dang I miss that car... and yes, it would be on the top of my want list from the proposed offerings. ...
