[C Doody]

I was never into cars. Im 16 now and could go after my liscence, but honestly i dont care enough.

[dawsongirl]

Check out http://www.autotrader.com for info on your car. They might have something. I know you can put cars side by side and compare them.

I love cars. They're one of my obsessions.

The Ford GT-40 was originally built for Ford's racing program in the 1960s, and was never intended for commercial production - until now. The GT-40 became one of the most famous cars in auto racing history. With this car, Ford won the 24 hours of Le Mans 4 consecutive years: 1966, 67, 68, and 69. Until the GT-40 came along, Ferrari had dominated the international racing scene.

The good news: In 2003, to commemorate Ford Motor Company's 100th anniversay, a street legal version of the GT-40 will be built.

The bad news: Only 100 GT-40s will be built the first year, selling for approximately $125,000.00 each!!!

The car will be powered by a 5.4 liter, 500 horsepower V8.

I love those! The 2003 Ford GT-40 is awsome! Although I thought they said $130,000 to $145,000

Those '60s Ford GT-40s were nice, but I prefer the '69 Dodge Charger Daytona.

I'll take a red and white one, with either the 440 or 426-Hemi engine! These were production cars, too. I believe 503 '69s were built.

Fleet, again we agree. The 69 Charger Daytona was definitely an outstanding muscle car. A few months ago, a body shop not far from where I live had a Plymouth Superbird parked out front with a "For Sale" sign on the windshield. I can't imagaine how much they were asking for it.

A year or two ago, Dodge had a Charger concept car that they were displaying on the auto show circuit. The concept car had a hybrid engine, but they could easily put their updated hemi into it if they chose to do so. The styling drew heavily from the 2nd generation Charger of the late 60s. Unfortunately, they decided against putting it into production. Now that Mercury has brought back the Marauder, and Pontiac is bringing back the GTO, maybe Chrysler will reconsider producing an updated version of the Charger.

I hope they do. As nice as the NEW T-Bird Marader and GTO look I'm sure a Charger would be cool.

[Stormtracker TF]

This is my idea of a GREAT car

That look's like it'd be a dream to drive!

[Stormtracker TF]

These are just as cool!

That red 39 or 40 olds next to the '67 firebird is preally cool too!

Jimbo,

In "Hemmings" car magazine, I've seen mint-condition Superbirds for sale for about $50,000 and up (way up).

Some years back, I attended a local Mopar car meeting. Because of the rarity of the cars (Hemi Road Runners, 440-6 Pack Super Bees, etc.) there was always one member standing guard in the parking lot while the meeting was in process inside (usually, they met in a restaurant).

I saw a few prototype pics of a future Charger which was supposed to be built. I don't know what happened. Remember, though, a new one would be quite different from the old one. I don't think the new one would have the huge engines (440, 426), or chrome bumpers instead of today's painted bumpers. It would be nice to see the Charger name again, though.

Yes, I'm sure it sounds nice! At a weekly informal Friday night car gathering, some guy brought a '67 Plymouth Valiant with a transplanted 440 inside. No rear seats and you could see into the trunk (the partition was removed, to save weight). So he starts it up and several car alarms go off! These were not alarms on cars parked next to it, but cars parked about 80 feet away!

Yeah, I agree.

I like all of those old musclecars... '69 Firebird 400s, 396 SS Chevelles, '70 Buick GS 455s, '69 428 Cobra-Jet Fairlanes (a friend had one), GTO "Judges," Plymouth Hemicudas, and on and on. All of those had tons of power and unbelievable low-end torque.
