Going to start a build on a '67 Impala SS convertible. Not me - paying for it, I don't know what the hell's going on under the hood. I just like the old stuff mostly mid-60's.

Debating on the engine? Rebuild the 327 or put in a period correct 427? That should add $5 + K to the value of the car. I'm not going to resto-mod it too much aside from brakes and suspension - I want it to look stock. I'm thinking save the 327 and put it on a stand and buy a modern Chevy crate motor. If I ever get rid of the car I'll let the old 327 go with it

If the 327 is original to the car, that's the way to go to retain the value. If you want the 427, save the original engine.

How was that car? You did not have it long... Sure is a looker.

I had it for a year and a half but wanted something in the 3 sec 0-60 range with a duel clutch. The exhaust sound on the mazzi was pretty insane though and you can get one for under 83K now with few miles.

Plus owning a lambo has always been a boyhood dream

Many a boy's dream... I had the Alpine poster as a teen in my room.

It is incredibly how awesome the GranTurismos sound at idle. Congrats on the Lam too!

The overall quality of Maserati products has me on the fence about buying one. They sure look & sound cool.

Elys and I test drove a used Aston Martin Rapide on Saturday. I think that'll be our next car. Just wicked in every sense.

Very nice! I just picked up a used R8 (v8). We are actually using it for our business or I would have gone M6V10.

Wow, those are cool. A buddy had the V10 M5 in a manual. That car like 8 mpg city at best.

I know I am not the only one who'd like to see some pictures of your new ride!
