  Re: MOC 1966 Chevelle
 
(...) People joke that way about the cars I've owned, a 1970 Olds Cutlass, a 1981 Chevrolet Suburban, a 1970 Plymouth Fury, a 1999 Dodge Dakota R/T, and a 1969 Dodge Coronet.

(...) Yep. The cash difference between 5000 USD for a reasonably good example of mid 60's muscle and 50,000 USD for a reasonably good example of a mid 60's eurosupercar (and I am being optimistic) will buy you a heck of a lot of gasoline...
