Bloody nice! I'm thinking of moving back to NZ and taking the cars with us. My uncle has some awesome classics over there. But if I mentioned them you would know who i am.. Because he is the only one with the types of cars in NZ. Cali has a lot of rust. Arizona is the best place for cars, no salt or sea so the body is normally pretty good. Haven't purchased in Texas though.

had a caddie sold to a guy in Kentucky. He drove up here and the thing needed total restoration. Had sat for so many years rats made nests. They are awesome.. I certainly couldn't drive it though. They are big! have a ford fairlane which is all original from the day it got off the show room floor. I have never driven it. My husband has and the thing .. Just doesn't park well! Nobody builds parking spaces like they used to.

Ypu're right, Arizona is good place to buy also. A mate of mine has shipped a ton of cars over from Arizona. Everything from Tri Chevs, to 60s and 70s muscle. There's a ton over here, i think you'd be shocked if you saw the cars getting built/restored down under.

Nice hehe... So what work did you do? My daughters will get classics to rebuild when they want a car. probably mustang cops with rats in them. My husband had to rebuild his first.

5k back then was a lot..

Be honest with you I made a lot of money in the privacy industry. Put myself on the line for customers. Built some of the stuff you guys talk about on GLP. I believe in privacy to the fullest.

Sorry you had a divorce. I'm glad you got your two girls, tell you what. Girls need fathers more than people think. My father is a horrible cave man. But with us girls he was gentle and love him. Had to work with attorney generals before, they are not easy.

Emm, you like it fast I see!

You guys have always done the muscle cars real nice.

Pretty cool rides put together in the Mad max movie.

Owned a `71 Mustang Mach 1 back in the day. Ram Air hood that was vacuum line functional 3spd 351 Cleveland fastback. Was lots of fun, but....

Classic cars? Any inline 6 BMW 528i, 635i, 535i Drove my `81 528i 5spd etc for 19yrs replaced only brake pads, struts, tires and one head gasket. Mechanic who replaced the head gasket sent the head out to be trued; machine shop said valves were perfect: Castrol 20wt 50.... Great Handling car and easy to work on.

Not that dog of a 528e; those were shit and slow. 528i would do 130mph in 5th gear and not break a sweat...

Mercedes of 142 chassis builds also Classics. Feel like motoring on avenue at 30mph but you're going 110 on the interstate... Like riding on rails. Superb. Have a 420sel would love a 560. DOHC super sophisticated motors. Make a 289 high performance look like a joke. Good torque too. Not to mention a real 4spd hold high torque auto trans.

Classics... Volvo 245 station wagons Volvo 164 sedans BMW 2002tii, Mercury Capri, Datsun Z series, Cadillac Eldorado from late 60s to mid-70s. Dodge Cummins 5.9 diesel 4x4 trucks. The Big Ford SUV with PowerStroke Diesel...

AMX, Hurst-Olds, Buick 455 Stage 1, SS Camaro, Impala SS any year, Chevelle SS, Ford 67 fastback Mustang The Bullit Car... Any Dodge Challenger, especially a six pack with pistol-grip shifter.


Can't imagine paying even $10K for old iron wiht shit suspension and ancient A/C. Drag racing, maybe...

BMW 2800csi fastback 2dr pretty much the epitome of Classic, in real world terms. Almost went for a Porsche 928 in the mid 80s. Porsche Turbo Carerra a bit too obvious. Dino Ferrari about the best looking body style of all time. Like a car out of Nick Fury Agent of Shield comic book after marvel got him out of the Howling Commandos.

What a great time to have been alive!

Nice... Color?

I'm a mopar man through and through. My last mopar was a '71 Challenger, 440. If i get rid of one of my bikes i'm dying to pick up a cuda, road runner, or a charger.

I love old rat rods too. But since i left Tx, there's not too many of them up here in the pacific northwest.

my '75 Bird from high school... i loved that car, wish i still had it...



dream car is hard to pin down, i really like all the old muscle cars, but either a 389 tri-power GTO or Corvette (any year)...

I'm trying to learn the laws of NZ with importanting. My uncle told me not to worry. Just give him a list and he will get them in. But geez they are strict. I wouldn't mind my bug out truck a defender 110. My favorite..

While I was going to uni and also paid my own way outside of home, I saved 50.00 per week. Meant hardly any food haha. I got my first car a white honda prelude.. Bloody shit car. Got a bad gasket little bugger. I learned about them and wanted to repair myself. Then I got a job at 18 as a marketing assistant and needed a reliable car so purchased a 1982 BMW. It had 10 Miles on it.. Was sitting all the time in some rich guys house. I loved that car! I mean loved it! No problem at all. Then I sold it and packed a suitcase and moved to USA... I had just turned 21 and everyone thought i was crazy giving up a good job and everything I had. 1600 after debt and best decision I ever made. I love BMW.. I will own one again but not into the newer models I like the square older ones personally.


Jags, they are sex on wheels the older models...

Not mine, but sure would like to have it:

Hey! Mopar rocks.. I have a 440 engine in the garage never installed, but will. I love them. I love mustangs because i'm a gal, so they remind me of the horses I've had as a child. But mopar cars are awesome, especially when you get non rust buckets.

Have a dodge charger which has had all the body work done. Bloody thing has cost more money than I can believe. Sad thing, once done it will not be worth what has been put into it. I don't understand why dodge chargers don't bring the money mustangs and other classics do. Pretty sad really. Because they are awesome

The first thing my boyfriend and I had to do was rewire the entire vehicle. Still had the original cloth covered wiring. I helped with that and he did the rest.
