Brian: Nah....still lookin. That's why I'm trying to get an idea on what numbered cars to look for while shopping. There ARE a couple that I've looked at recently (one out in your neck of the woods!) that are under consideration. -I didn't say anything to you about the one in Ohio because I knew I would just get a tongue-lashing about it being a SB!
I would love to buy our buddy Dave's car, but it's a little out of my price range (set by the wife, unfortunately). I told him if he doesn't sell it to let me know before he trades it in. I could probably scrape together more than the trade-in price (if I can hide it from my wife!).
I've also been calling our Sec. of States office, the DMV, and the EPA office here in Chicago to try and find out what the latest laws are for getting a smog exemption. What a pain in the a$$! Most people that work at these facilities don't have a CLUE to what the current laws are, and what I need to do (our tax dollars at work!). Some cars are titled as 1965's while others are titled by the year the chassis was built. There are different laws here for each, depending on what the title says. Fun!
To be honest, I'm sorta considering the new Shelby roller as well. However, I'm not the type to fork over money before seeing the product up close, so I guess I'll have to wait (which is fine because I would have to save up some more money for one of those anyway). I want to see one that's been purchased by someone......NOT a proto-type that's been put together with a fine tooth comb for people to get excited about and place their orders off of!

FlyinFreddie: Thanks! That does help some! Did you change your AVO's to the Bilsteins? Did you notice a difference??
