1967 should be the 'height' of the muscle car explosion.

I think it's 2000 miles a year. Classic insurance is stated value. That way you can do a restoration and insure for what it's worth to you.

Thanks Chuck. Yep, the years do fly by no doubt. He's the youngest of a few, little guy spent 4 to 5 hours on it tonight with nothing but a smile. It's kind of funny how you appreciate things more as you get older........:cheers:

I remember when I was THAT midget waxing Camry/Corolla/Vanagon of that era. They were the best shine in town and my mother's coworkers were always jealous of the shine on her car.

No idea what colour it is to be honest. There are the original stickers of the colourcode etc underneath the hood tho. So I suppose it's original.

You still have the nicest garage, Chuck, even when its empty!!

As for me, I probably win in the "who pays the most car tax" contest given where I live, but other then the box, the wifey's JCW is probably the only car worth showing off. My 9-year old VW station wagon, well, no one wants to see that...

Hope 6" KC's fit the bar should look good, fingers crossed. Had to relocate the vacuum pump from the front bumper, not sure why they moved it there from 2012 forward but does not seem like the best place for a vacuum pump.

That is one clean Rx7! Have you had to overhaul the engine/turbo because of age and not mileage?

Hey AP328, the picture of your RX-7 brought back good memories. I had a 1987 'Sport model' (precursor to the GTU) from 1990 until I sold it in 2008 to buy the Boxster. I loved the high reving rotary engine. I had updated the suspension, full exhaust and many other mods, but I was ready for a change after 18 years.
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1393382319.jpg

Now, in addition to the Boxster, I have 2 Acura daily drivers (MDX for the wife and a TSX 6 speed for me), and almost 20 feet of old Dodge for the classic car shows.

^ RX7 looks great. There is nothing that revs as freely - guess that is why they need the buzzer at red line as there is no strain that suggests it is time to shift. I still really enjoy mine, even after all these years!

I forgot you are in the UK always porsche. Mary Kay is a cosmetic company in the US with independent agents. The successful ladies are usually rewarded company vehicles to drive...THE really successful ladies get a "PINK" Caddy to drive.
