New musclecars eh? Your average musclecar pre-71 cost around $3700 and put out close to 400 horses (RWHP be damned). Any new musclecar today coming close to 400HP is gonna run you what...$40,000 after TTL, interest, etc. I'm pretty sure the average schmo back in 69 could afford a nice, fast musclecar back in the day. Those old hi-po Dodges, Stangs, and Cammy's weren't just for the well-to-do-folk (disregard the ZL-1's, BM's, HEMI Darts, and your AC Cobras).
What I'm saying is nowadays the average joe can't afford a factory musclecar so they build it themselves. Judging by the cars on this board, most of you could whip a $175,000 exotic for about 3/4 of the price you put into your rides. I like the idea of building something that's over 35 years old with your 2 bare hands and then proceed to kick the crap out of 98% of what comes off the assembly line...worldwide. Love the new Vette, but gimme an old 68 Stingray any day. Wait a minute...Barret-Jackson has'nt priced those out of my range too have they? Ya'll be cool.
