My dream cars are all original driver cars. I gravitate towards cars that are original (dont mind any upgrades to make them useable) and I tend to breeze past cars that are over restored and trailer queens.

I went to a show in the Summer in Moffat and there were 3 perfectly restored but identical Avenger Tigers next to each other. Almost everyone walked past them to a lovely looking Hunter estate. Totally original, nicely kept and used regularly. Was a lovely bit of nostalgia. The others were better than they ever were out of the factory and pretty sterile to be honest

Cheers Steve

Photos of these please Steve, Hunters and Tigers.

That Grifo is very special. Designed by the same person that did the DeLorean / Lotus Esprit / Mangusta / VW Golf.

Shame it never came with a Mopar engine.

It is rather lovely.

Sorry Matt, dont have any pictures. Ive stopped taking them at shows as they fill my phone up and I never look at them.

Im not on Facebook but Im sure there will be some pics on there. It was the Moffat Classic Car Sow in August 2023. Im not sure if you can search on there or not....sorry

Cheers Steve

‘68 ‘vert looks nice until you spot things like that godawful spoiler and the rallye dash in a non rallye frame. Price seems sensible though having said that.

some good cars there, but the Coronet Motor Home is a must for MOPAR NATS

That motor home is stunning.

After careful consideration I'll take the 54 Newport and the 66 C10 pickup.
While I'm not a Camaro person, the Z28 is nice. A bargain compared to the 69 Yenko that just sold on BAT for $390K

Thanks Alan,
A couple of nice Hemi cars there, but i fear the 63 Valiant is more my budget.
Nice looking car though for not a lot of money.

That Hang 10 seems a fair price for an A body these days?
The 63 Valiant sold for $34k

And as for the 69 Hemi RR, $180k !! These cars are still seen as an investment i guess.
