Luke, you want a fast ride, that holds it's value, turns heads, has tons of potential power and gets 18-22 city, 28-32 hwy? Then come to the "dark" side. Oh, did I mention it holds it's value?

Thumbs up

The Dark side, ya' know....

Al black, seats 5 comfortably, has all the creature comforts and can be easily made to go mid 12's all day and not lose any of those wonderful features! What's the down side?

The 10,000 entry fee into the wonderful world of owning a collector car that declines in value with every mod you give it

Most stangs don't have much value change between modified and stock, even lots of "classic" stangs it may only be a couple of thousand difference, value may increase if you modify a base model. And for half the price you get the same result

I like those cars, but man are they expensive to buy, at least around where i live. A grand national in maybe well used 150,000+ plus mile condition could easily fetch 6,000-7,000 as i've seen in the classifieds.

Wow. I should'a asked more than $12,300 a few years back when I sold my 78,000 mostly original example. I know you can get a GREAT deal in Canada, it's just that you'd have to look at kilometers instead of miles. That ain't for me.

And you're right about declining value when adding go-fast parts. It usually indicates the car's had a hard life.
