Whatever you buy today as far as cars, even motorcycles, they are light years
ahead of what we used to own. I cannot see how anyone can justify spending
40-100K for a fiberglass kit car which are not safe and built like garbage.
To me it just looks like alot of Bling !!
I met Caroll Shelby once and he even remarked as what garbage the
fiberglass replicas of his famed Cobra were. At that time he stated that he
had
enough parts in stock to be able to build about 100 or so new all steel Cobras.
The guy I work with, who claims he spent 40K on a Gibbons 37 Ford without
correct VIN identification has a Mustang II front end, need I say more?
what junk that front end was back in the mid-late 70's !!
If I had 40 -50K to spend on a performance car it would be a new
Corvette, best bang for the buck. The car has plenty of power, stops and
turns
better than anything else for that price.
Back in 1968 a friend of mine owned a 38 Ford Coupe stuffed with a 371
Olds, Corvette 4 spd and an Olds rear and the car was really nice. He wanted $
1700.00 for it. I was 15, that amount of money was impossible for me to
earn. I can only imagine what that all steel car would go for today.
Surely,
fiberglass repro junk cannot be worth what they are asking. But, yuppies will
pay the price for anything !!! LOL
Just thinking out loud !!! LOL
