Gold Member BOHICA Posted December 25, 2020 Gold Member Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Not sure if it is live or if it’s old but the Bullitt just sold 3.4 on the Mecum that I am watching. Probably an old sale as nobody was wear masks these old untouched are much better then a full resto car Edited December 25, 2020 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id prefer a restomod just because I wouldn't feel bad about driving the shit out of it and if you're buying a car as a toy why would you just want to only drink beer and look at it?

I don't see the point of these old relics unless you're going to drive them. They ride and handle like fuck. I have no nostalgia for that old stuff, other than a sweet resto mod.

The relics are great. It’s a mind set. I don’t hop in the ‘56 with thoughts of burnouts. It’s about cool.

I could see ripping around in the black ghost frequently.... a full restoration I would unlikely move it. Resto mod ya I would thrash on it but as a restomod I would prolly opt for a modern car like Tesla or a Porsche of some sort over a restomod for the price.

Angry ginger Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I would rather have a nice driver than a museum piece, replace the old shitty suspension and replace the motors of most with modern LS/Coyote power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an emotional thing these older muscle. Practical? No. But neither is owning a snowmobile unless you’re using it for a livelihood. .

Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted December 26, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 26, 2020 Friend is building this GTO. Completely from the ground up with all modern amenities. LT4 Supercharged crate motor putting out 700HP. Should be finished this spring.

Made to drive with all modern suspension, electronics, custom everything. Frame is about 300lbs lighter than original but much more rigid.
