    Makes me wonder how a modern SL will hold up over the next 37 years. Yesterday they were built to last. Today, they are built to feed the replacement part business. Programmed obsolescence?

    In other news: the not too popular "market price adjustment" by certain stealerships is causing folks at some automotive forums to veto these dealers. Nice to see forum communities coming together...

    Must've been a very special barn.

    The car started as total loss that was in garage fire, I used the complete drivetrain and suspension out of 2003 Mustang cobra terminator with a Eleanor body kit.....I wish boats parts were as cheap and easy to find as vintage mustang parts..

    The car was red with tan interior and need a lot of work , it’s one of 50 made in the Eightys and a few were used in the Movie “ Ferris Buelers Day Off” I made the car very vintage , it looks like a $20 million dollar example , but you can actually drive this car to the marina or the golf coarse with out a security force, I am considering selling it

    It certainly looks like a million bucks.

    Very nice, here is the modern version of the not quite Factory Porsche Artwork, but even more beautiful:

    Most of the Singer Porsches are nice, but I prefer my 993s. Yesterday I saw another nice car, the Ferrari Roma. Looks like an Aston should have looked...

    My mate Neil is a lifelong Mopar guy and has more Dodges than any man needs.

    So what does he build? A 'Chevord'. He won Custom of the year in Europe for this.

    Crazy price, but classic cars are now one of the biggest tax-free investments going, along with fine wines and art.

    Here's a 1 hour walk around a rather unique sales room.
