O.K. ,iguess i'll chip in. i got the model for x-mas when i was 11,(1966) and like a lot of you i really said to myself "im Gonna own this car some day"we lived in the deep woods and were poorer than dirt so i never saw a real one till much later. spent my whole summer when i was 15 building a 292 for my 50$ 57 fairlane 500,
blew it up after 2 days. country hot-rodded 55 crown vicky,66 mustang gt w/ hipo ,56 vicky ,64 galaxy,then went brit w tr-4,57 mga fixed head coupe,mini cooper "s"and a bunch of others i cant remember. all those cars were just "stand ins"

i lost about 30.000$ in a bad investment a couple years back,the only thing i could think of""F**K, F**K, F**K!!! i could have had my COBRA! so im thinkin "hey what am i waitin for!, im not gonna live forever! i bought a rolling basket (poorly assembled/great components) and have been wrenchin and smiling ever since.

i never think about that investment any more.
