Let me ask this milipede larvae what it thinks??

Yes, I always thought it looked like some kind of large pill you would have to take if you ever contracted Rickets or some other terrible disease. (sorry Grizzly)

No, I hear ya. I wouldn't call it a work of automotive art or anything. i just think it's cool because it's so quirky. I'm often one of those "dare to be different" car enthusiasts. Not daringly different enough to buy one of those Tata death traps, though.

Hey Grizz,
All kidding aside, the one in the picture is a very clean & cool looking ride, along with it's whitewall tires. You would definitely get a lot of complements. How much do they go for??

That one is a '56, I think. It's on ebay right now with one bid of $30,000...so they go for more than $30,000.

How 'bout this one? It's a '66 on ebay. It's $16,000 right now.

I just checked out the steel dreamz website - wow, they have a nice inventory. BTW, I call dibs on the '71 Roadrunner.

The Roadrunner is nice. A lot of people don't like the '71, but I do. He's got my dream business going on there. I thought about doing something like that if they retire me, but watching the economy, it might not be the best time to get into the sale of expensive luxury items.

I have my '72 Mach I for sale at a ridiculously low price right now, and so far no one is falling over themselves to buy it.

Maybe I should open a Tata Deathcar Dealership instead.

Just checked that website too and apparently that red '66 Microbus is selling for 39K!!

BTW, do you have pictures of the Mach I??

My dreamjob too – actually, I think I would even be happy just washing cars at a place like that. You are right about timing - I don’t look to 2008 to be a stellar year for the economy – and I had heard some talk about a correction in the muscle car market – didn’t catch Barrett-Jackson this year though to see if it is happening. Maybe Steel Dreamz will tank and we can do a 986forum groupbuy of their inventory when the market bottoms out.

Wow! Never would have figured that price!

Yeah, the 30K is a little over the top...it looks a bit stuffy....as if ones luggage should be made of old hardwood and have large double straps with buckles....and the driver should drive with a wooden pipe and wear a brown tweed hat.

The red one has a more personality, IMHO. Love the headlights with the chrome lunar elements that resembles eyelashes. And the addition of the chrome wheels gives it a tougher / racing feel unlike the whitewalls.

EDIT: Hope you know my descriptions were a joke! Who describes cars like that?? I'm just in a heck of a mood today?? Can't stop the sarcasm.
