Aw , always a very tough thing to do,
one of the main reasons i never got another dog when my last Lab passed, she was a fabulous gun dog, had sixth sense that was uncanny !
Loved that dog, my best mate.

My Son in Law is a Vet , and keeps banging on about us getting a mutt, we have there redlab from time to time, she a lovely animal , when my knee's fixed maybe we'l get another ,

Veterinary what a great racket that is ! laugh


Yeah the White chally, is a clone, 318 , but yeah all these cars are 30K tops, there's a turd Nova at 60K ffs............................laugh
Semi matt Charger at 75 ish, what are these people smoking ..............................................................................


Anyway rant over wrong thread laugh
I'l get back on the 68' hunt at some point,

Yeah the White car was 38000, but been reducing every couple of months, its up the M2 from me in Rochester , makes one wonder what the Camaro would be worth? seemingly unmessed with for 40 odd years, 396 SS/RS maybe only second to a DZ302 ??? i know Copo cars are the holy grail but 95% of them are fake!

My old man had dozens of interesting cars over the years but this one was a bit special , i never got any reply from my Ex regarding the photos so probably wont ever be able to search out my old rag top, which is a shame as dad and i owned them at the same time ................

Well ive put the feelers out, dont look like the CCC, is overly proactive on the early cars, so not holding my breath !
But one never knows, worth a punt!
i did them em im on the Dark Side, laugh

Blimey weve had a fair old bit of snow here, had it all week, hopefully its stopped now, as its supposed to be 9c by Monday!

And yes , id love a 302, but a 350 4 speed would also do! 69' is the year, wicked looking car after the face lift , car looks lower, wider,meaner !

Dream time again ! nah could'nt afford one, and my biggest issue , just one garage! no that aint happening ..............................

Your arm will be fine, had my first one over a month ago, as you keep saying why cant we be satisfied, and enjoy what weve got laughlaugh
This constant quest lol............................................

got to be a 69' for me, my first V8 was a 67'327................ then i got a mint 68' in a very pale primrose colour, a 4 speed but a 6 banger, it was a Belgium
car, speedo in K's lovely thing, drove perfect, the 69' was a rag top,

as i said dreaming, my rubbish budget is far to small, even if i ticked up another 7k i still would be short!........................

Yeah i'l try again at some point, dont think the CCC will produce any response, almost no chatter on the gen 1 section???
looks like the MMA is THE muscle car forum, constant talk, things going on etc,

Its not that much of a deal really,

The Black cars a wicked looking machine, 69' perfect........................................................................................
the owners a lucky guy,

RR thanks for dragging up the TA again laugh, see the black 400 is back up for sale, these things must be a disappointment if people are buying them based on the Bull S--- myth's that have sprung up around them ,

Oooppp's wrong thread again rolleyes
