1. take a check?

[GOPisEvil]

2. Your wife works at a bank, right?

:think:

[matcom]

6. we don't have any $ in that account

but I DO have a NIGERIAN connection that I could tap into for the FULL amount!

[GOPisEvil]

8. Whereever it comes from, I'll take it.

I'm not picky.

[AlCzervik]

3. i can put you in contact with a Nigerian prince that could loan you some money

you'll need to send him a little first though, just to prove you're honest.

[GOPisEvil]

5. No problem. I have some spare change.

[redqueen]

4. That's one beautiful machine.

[GOPisEvil]

7. I agree. I'm not really a Corvette guy, but that thing looks brand new.

[redqueen]

9. I'm not partial to any particular make or model...

but that style of Corvette is definitely one of my favorites.

Same with the Jaguar E-Types.

[GOPisEvil]

11. For some reason I like the Corvettes that came right after this style.

I've been more of a Mustang guy though. Or Alfa Romeo Spyders. I have a list of cars that would satisfy my classic car jones.

[redqueen]

13. Mustangs...

fastbacks? I never liked those. Other than those though, I'm a fan.

I also like the muscley cars... Roadrunners and GTOs.

[GOPisEvil]

14. The Boss 302 is my favorite Mustang.

It was made to turn, not just go fast. It IS a fastback, but it kicks ass.



I like the early '70s Mustang convertibles a lot.

[redqueen]

15. Definitely partial to convertibles...

this is more my cup of tea:

[GOPisEvil]

18. I would take that in a second.

But what I really want is a 1972 Mustang Spring Convertible. Only 50 (maybe 51) were ever made. They were made for the 1972 Olympic team to parade through Washington, DC, then they were sold.

[edbermac]

10. I'll give you the $152,000.

A dollar a year over the next 152,000 years. :7

[GOPisEvil]

12. Hey, if the seller is willing, I'll let you know.

[flvegan]

16. Tbh, the seller is nuts. This is an $80k car.

Matching numbers (I assume) 427/425 with factory sidepipes and knock offs is roughly $80k. $115k if it was a 'vert.

Beautiful car, though.

[GOPisEvil]

17. Yeah, I thought the price was a bit excessive.

Maybe at auction, with the right two bidders going head to head, it might get 6 figures.

It is nice. I'd like to drive it once at the least.

[redqueen]

Yeah, but there's one born every minute...

can't blame the seller for tryin to part a fool from their money.

[texas1928]

19. That is the only Corvettes I like.

I don't like the Stingrays.

But I love my Mustang, and would take a Mustang over a vette any day.

[GOPisEvil]

20. Look above.

If you see a '72 Mustang Sprint Convertible, let me know.

[texas1928]

21. Will do, but I would repaint it.

Baby blue on a Stang. Come on. Someone should have their ass removed for doing that to that car.

I saw on Speed a few days ago, They sold Carroll Shelby's personal Super Snake. That was one sweet car.

[GOPisEvil]

22. They are red, white and blue.

With a USA shield on the rear quarter. Dude, there's FIFTY of them. I'd keep that badboy original.

It's the Sprint paint scheme. They made hardtops and fastbacks like that too. But only 50 ragtops. If you think I wouldn't get a license plate that said "1 of 50" you are wrong. :)

[texas1928]

24. If I got one I would keep it original, but personally, I HATE the colors.

I like my Mustangs color the best. Slate Grey. In the sun it changes color.

[GOPisEvil]

28. Yeah, I hear ya. Not my favorite color scheme.

I'm really into the basics when it comes to muscle cars. White, black, yellow, red...

[texas1928]

32. And I can not stand the ones who have Mustang written on the side.

I mean come on, Of course it is a Mustang. If you can not tell that, then you are a Maroon.

[GOPisEvil]

35. Agreed...

:)

[Pale Blue Dot]

23. Now that I'm a teacher, I've got two of those.

You know how much Government employees pull in. :woohoo:

:sarcasm:

[GOPisEvil]

26. Even with two, you couldn't carry the whole brood.

:D

[Pale Blue Dot]

31. Another low blow!

...but true. :cry:

[GOPisEvil]

33. Hey - your brood is to be envied.

[Pale Blue Dot]

37. ...

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

40. ok...so maybe not...

:D

[Pale Blue Dot]

43. Sarah: "What did he say? Your wife's uterus is a clown car?"

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

46. !!!

Where did she get THAT idea? :rofl:

[Pale Blue Dot]

50. Don't worry. She was projecting.

It was funny though.

[GOPisEvil]

52. Hell yeah it was funny.

:D

[lizziegrace]

25. What year is that?

:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

27. 1966, according to the ad.

[lizziegrace]

30. Here's my father's 1967

and his 2006

[GOPisEvil]

34. Sigh...I am in the wrong line of work.

:(

[lizziegrace]

36. He was an engineer

He seems to think if some man sees his cars, they'll marry his divorced daughter. :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

41. Well, if we're talking wedding present...

:D

[lizziegrace]

45. He just might be that desperate. ;-)

But I'm not... yet...

:D

[GOPisEvil]

51. Good for you.

Hold out for BOTH cars. :D

[lizziegrace]

53. ...

:rofl: !!

When he dies, I could keep both as my part of the estate...

;)

[GOPisEvil]

54. I'd sell the new one to finance the old one.

:)

[redqueen]

39. Nice!

That new one looks like crap parked next to it.

[lizziegrace]

42. The '67 has won numerous awards

it's all stock.

When my father's gone, I get to sell the cars. Can't afford to keep the old one (too expensive to insure) and really don't want the convertible. :(

[redqueen]

49. Sell the new one and use the proceeds to insure?

What an awful thing to have to let go of... *sigh*

I wish I had some of my dad's old beaters... he sold them all off himself. He never restored them, but they were diamonds in the rough.

[Fire Walk With Me]

29. Gor-jussss.....

[GOPisEvil]

38. Uh huh

[GOPisEvil]

44. OK, forget the $152,000. How about $24,000?

http://austin.craigslist.org/car/514102292.html

[lizziegrace]

47. I like!

:)

[GOPisEvil]

48. How about $29,000?
