    1970 boss clone for sale

    I like it. The '67/'68 car always looked good with the fastback body style. If I remember corrected the 428 ci engine was rated at 360 hp? Is it a four-speed? Those days were not much different than today. You can order a Mustang with a number of different engine combinations. I don't...

    Dire Times for the Auto Industry

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122669746125629365.html Just Say No to Detroit Given the abysmal performance by Detroit's Big Three, it would be better to send each employee a check than to waste it on a bailout, says David Yermack.

    Dire Times for the Auto Industry

    With all due respect, it's just my opinion. I never said Detroit auto production would stop. Most of the jobs would still be working in reorganization from the bankruptcy court. They will continue to manufacturer the profitable platforms while throwing out the unprofitable platforms. I doubt...

    Dire Times for the Auto Industry

    Bankruptcy is the only real solution. Most of us (consumers) would never know the difference. The companies would reorganize in BK Court and the profitable platforms would continue to flow off the line. If the Feds give them money to prop them up, they will be nothing more than like the...

    Formula 1

    Congrats to Lewis Hamilton. Going forward, it seems to me that many changes are occurring in F-1. And can these budgets survive the global economic climate? :confused

    CSX car at BJ

    I read this often. But it is hard for me to understand. How do you explain the 1966 Ford GT40 Mk 1 coupe ser# 1065, engine # SGT27? It sold for $1.47M at the RM auction at Monterey this summer. Less than a year ago this same car with three less km sold for $2.04M. The guy that sold the car...

    CSX car at BJ

    Thanks. I now understand this transaction. Where is Paul? Does anyone remember his Viper comparison? Does anyone remember his FGT FS? It was cataloged in a magazine, and I didn't step up. I am the dumbest guy in the world. I was so sure that I could wait a few months and buy a nice FGT...

    Ford art FS (from the factory)

    No one here would do such a thing, but someone else can right-click on their favorites and save them on their computer. :eek

    1970 boss clone for sale

    They are 1970's. One is the real deal and the other is a clone. I raced against these two cars in the 1990's (in vintage, of course). Your picture was taken at this year's Monterey Historics. A friend of mine in FL is currently preparing this 1970 Boss 302 for vintage racing. It has a...

    Track Insurance Article

    Read the policy; it takes less than a hour.... As a former insurance agent, you need to be sure that what you purchase is an insurance product recognized by your state's Insurance Department. These policies are related (written similar) to a personal property floater (i.g., a rider for a piece...

    That was lot 811? How could it be "well bought" for $115K? :confused I'll never understand the collector car market.

    The direction of the collector car market?

    I knew that the Hemi 'vert was rare, but I forgot that the coupe is not anything as rare as a real Spyder (that's why I am the dumb money). I understand this. I was just expressing my preference. I've been vintage racing for 18 years, so naturally, I would prefer a car that was made more for...
