ANY interest in these things whether you agree or not with what an owner wants to do with his or her car is a plus. I don't think there is anyone on this site who would appreciate being told what they should do with there property. Besides, the way things are going there won't be any gas left to put in these things so they'll scrap them to make more windmills
Actually, nobody wants an inferior car whether it is stock, modified, or cut up.Dan wrote:Not every one wants an inferior stock car, nor does everyone want a race car
I don't know about that. I drove a 74 Vega GT for a few years and never thought it was unsafe. But, swapping a V-8 into a Vega without changing the front brakes makes it a death trap - MORE GO (FAST), LESS SLOW (DOWN).Dan wrote:Most of them are death traps anyway.

I don't care about the owner of the car as much as I care about the craftsmanship that went in to the restoration or the modification of the car.Dan wrote:I would rather see a car that is built the way that the owner want it to be that tells you so much about that particular owner.
True. There are SO MANY of them out there for sale already converted to whatever suits you. Look for one of those FIRST, before cutting on a low mileage, rust free survivor.Dan wrote:A car is just a car.
Not everyone - I won't complain. The Mirage is just a Monza with some cheezy fiberglass flares on it - but some wicked spoilers - and NO PERFORMANCE UPGRADES. Cool paint job, though. Have at it. Make it look like mildeolde's rad red ride. That is what GM should have had in its showrooms back in the day.Dan wrote:Hell I cant wait to hear everyone complain when I start cutting up these mirages that I have to make them in to the car they should have been to start with

Shift,
Eventhough your car doesn't have the original drivetrain, it can be had. A Cos is still a Cos if it has a Cos engine. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28107
Different strokes for different folks. Enjoy your builds, guys.
