Nice. Wildcats were sweet, so were the Riviera's. When I was a kid, dad would let me take the car for the night, first thing we'd do is flip the air filter upside down and do burnouts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sniffed around for anything with a "63" for a possible next ride. Im wavering back and forth between that or a pickup. You can get that 63 motor in everything from their smallest C class to the AMG GT. Big steam! Nice demo, ma in law drives a 15 E350 Cabriolet, looks alot like that one.
