    I have a connection to the Buick Turbo in this list. I wish I still had that car. Another great video. Always worth a watch and like.

      Yep. Me too. Had an 84 GN with 87 drivetrain. T tops. Back when you could misspell parts on eBay and get them for pennies in the dollar. I was excited to get 7500. You can find rolling chassis for that now. If you can find one.

    1967 is my favorite model year of the Mustang. It has a beautiful, smooth, sleek design, and those Shelby versions are amazing.
    I'm a big fan of the GM G-Body. Those GNX's and Grand Nationals really meant business.

      It depends what your looking for though the 54-66 mustang is still pretty cheap and most 50s-70s cars that aren’t muscle/sports cars are still kinda cheap

      @@HighSockDavid I think you meant 1964 1/2 to 1966 Mustangs. I find them pricey, but I agree, many other 1950s to 1970s non-muscle cars are still somewhat affordable, though quickly going up in value. The 1980s and 1990s cars are heading that direction too.

    JUST one more thing.. I was contemplating the following back when they were new..87 Monte Carlo SS, Olds 442 with lightning rods, or the..yep, Buick GNX. I opted for the Monte SS, which I drove brand new off the showroom floor of Cormier Chevy in ‘87. Def a “Chick Magnet”. Gangsters liked them too! Used them in drive-bys like crazy. Hindsight, I should have went the way of the Buick. That black beast was a slingshot, making my “Purty” Monte SS look like a kids Texaco toy truck🤦‍♂️

      My late uncle got one of the last Montes. They went a model year past the Buick and Olds. I think his was Dale Erndhart package maybe? I had an 84 GN with 87 drivetrain in it. Heluva car. Never should have sold that. Shame shame shame.

      Richard Petty made his name with the 3rd gen Charger and considers it the best car of his racing career. You may consider it an "old" car but it has excellent performance aftermarket support and is easy to bring up to modern standards. IMO a modernized muscle car is a better road car than any of the modern "supercars" with delicate rims, too many electronics, and too much weight.

      @@ApothecaryGrant If it's a 1 of 63 HEMI car, possibly with other rare options, in the current economic climate it could be worth that much. I've seen 440 R/T's in the 70-100k range, before the value of used cars shot up. There are certainly cheaper ways to get the relatively low levels of performance a stock 71 Charger brings, but this one is going to be an investment asset not a driver. Lower trim levels are still a good deal compared to the 2nd gen Charger.

      @@ApothecaryGrant At that level it is more about protecting money. You definitely don't want to leave a quarter million in a bank and lose the value of it because the government went on a money printing spree (very serious concern of late, because they have). It could also be about building money, i.e. Andrew Tate buying a 4 million dollar Bugatti to get access to other rich Bugatti owners.

There is only one of them and it was Shelby's experimental car they used to base 67 Shelby Mustangs from, then turned into a real car to sale. Just look up 1967 Shelby Super Snake.
