New 2015 GTO "The JUDGE"!

These cars are getting sicker and sicker. Meaner and meaner.
 
Ah, the good old days, bought a 1957 Chevy with a fuel injected 283 in it for $1200. Back in 1960 that was a lot of money! Last REAL one of those I saw, sold for $108,000! BUT you have to love the modern muscle, Shelby Mustangs with $1500 in add ons, plus tires goes 10 sec. quarters, Hellcats, with tires, the same. OK they are priced at $60K but what I spent $1200 on 55 years ago, is probably close to that price today!

Not even close bro, that $60 was worth $7800 in 1960.

The biggest difference between today's cars and the cars from the 50s and 60s is the quality and durability.

Those old cars were temperamental as **** and were always needing tinkered with. The modern automobile , hell essentially keep the oil ad filters changed and run some fuel cleaner through it occasionally and they are almost bulletproof to 100K , oh youll need to buy some brake pads and tires of course . but thats about it.

And nostalgia aside, a modern honda civic will beat the snot out of most 60s era muscle cars in all but a straight up drag race anyway.

You're right, but I used to fix an exhaust pipe with an old coke can and some baling wire.... Cost perhaps 25 cents.... can't get away with that today!:biggrin:
