I knew of the '63-64-ish 427 Fairlane Thunderbolts, but they were factory race cars, not really RPO. Good info dfelt!

427 in a mid-size Fairlane. I think this gen max’d out at 390s.

Owner/builder upgrade.

How much is that alone causing the sales flatline tho?

Pffft- the development is cheap. Less moving parts, less R&D, less assembly labor. It's the vendor battery cost.... and the OEM markup that's expensive.

I dunno; this is a Maserati : No one buys an AMG to street race other cars.

^ can’t argue against that. toyoter should buy daimler; they have just enough cash to do it.

My '40 has you beat: $98. I think I have it valued at $8500. - - - - - Egregious Massachusetts citizen oppression :

Yeah- that'd be cool, but really I want a suspension option ala cart, like cab or bed sizes. SH (standard Height), LH (lowered height) or RH (raised height)- that sort of thing. A complete package SS would be $60K to start.

Its quite basically the RST package, visually. I’d like to see a ‘street’ package with a 2” lowering kit.

They continually confuse employment with partnership.

Sometimes I think the insurance biz operates on another plane. Their numbers can be puzzling.

Or.... are miata drivers that reckless/poor drivers that their accident rate pushes them into Corvette territory? ?

Random small parking lot 'spot census' : truck/van: 4 car: 5 SUV/CUV: 11

Right, but insurance replacement check is not market value. Its not worth $40K, you happened to get $40K for it. There is a difference. Like when I got $4600 for my $525 truck thru Cash-4-Clunkers. I never could have sold it for that much privately. Asking prices are immaterial to vehicle value.

I dunno, they claim they use sold pricing (which is a lot more realistic that asking prices) :

Great deal for you: kbb says that year/mileage has a value of only $15K.

Can’t wait for the fad of calling animals ‘children’ to be done with.

OK. Do you have an idea how often, in your estimation, you would do 0-60 in under 9 secs if you were in a -say- 7 sec car?

I think it's a Wolf Spider. I let him scamper free. - - - - -
