only thing i may change this one for is a new camaro or corvette..need to save some cash first
-
the convertable mustang was without any question the worst handling car i have ever owned or driven..complete and utter piece of crap..ford do nothing to strenghten the underside on their verts...every bump would shake the entire car...going round corners was very scary.
peeps dont ever buy one ok..stick with the coupe

That's ok I won't. I'll keep dreaming of a Challenger SRT8 :D
Your current one is nice though.

cheers mate
since i could walk i wanted a muscle car...finaly did it a few years back..we were left a lot of money my wifes dad's will that's how we managed it..
-
Muscle cars have always run deep in my family but always too poor to do it.
I will never give up my dream of owning a circa '64 Plymouth Valiant 2-door just like this one.
-
Same body shape as the Chrysler Valiant AP5 & AP6 in Oz.
-
Excellent block paving, even better grunters :D
-
cheers mate

took me 2 months in total

the ground work was the toughest..getting it perfect took a long time
never done paving before either...about 8k sterling in total..things cost a lot here
-
Drew did you bring them over from the UK or bought them in Sweden
-
£8k (+20% value added tax, if using registered contractor) would buy approx. 100 sq. mts, including dig out, kiln dry sand, tampering etc.
And your paving does look a brilliant job :D
-
bought it all here
when we moved we brought us and our furniture thats it..
-
Same body shape as the Chrysler Valiant AP5 & AP6 in Oz.
Yep but we never got the 2-door. I love the AP-5/6 too.

Is that like what Jim Richards races in the Masters?

Nah Richards runs a '64 Falcon sprint.
