Some of those old muscle cars looked really good, and some of them were pretty fast. And the best of them sounded great at idle and at launch, kind of like a four wheeled Harley sensation They couldn't brake or corner well though, and weren't comfortable for long trips. But they were pretty easy to work on though.

Having an unmolested mint survivor would be much better than having some clone. Or one of those Chip Foose creations.
