another newbie
Hi,
getting close to 50 I have a cobra replica with 10k miles and currently getting refitted with a 174 blower, new trans, power brakes (grand national) and rr coil overs. Once sorted out and running right I want to add a hot rod of some kind.
Always partial to the mid engine location on the old econolines (mid 60's, pick up or van) I keep looking for one worth the trouble.
A station wagon to trick out (ideally some 56 buick special) or maybe just an older rod w/v-8, 400 & ac. I'd love to find an older hot rod that runs and requires retrofit/updating..(passed on a 35 chevy some years ago and still regret it).
Hey, I could live with this but would go to a more "sleeper" lookin' hood...
Bottom line I'd like a hardtop, with seating for more than 2, automatic, stereo and air - all the things the cobra doesn't have (& will never get!).
Look forward to your insights.

and better (as in running!) days...
The Australians have finally discovered the origin of the word 'Vegan.' Apparently it's an old Aboriginal word for 'Bad Hunter.'
