have a 70 Cuda numbers matching only 21165 miles, I am 2nd owner only 55 made was appraised for $98k, purchased for $28k invested only $2600 to make near perfect.

It is a special edition 340 with a solid lifter cam, posi 3.55, slap stick, not a hydraulic run of the mill 340, leather interior, AAR suspension on a non AAR Cuda Shark. Is fully documented!

Shaker hood, road lamps, valence exit exhaust is loaded... I have the factory AC and added a 134 system for comfort for the few times i do drive it to a show

and now for someting totally different. 10 year old Jeep Wranglers. buy cheap, 5-10years later sell for a 50 pct (maybe) ROI. Cheap, fun to drive (assuming you enjoy driving a four-wheeled roller skate), definitely not a garage/trailer queen.

Car to keep, first and or second generation Camaro RS or Z28. specifically 67 Z28 or 72

I’m not a car collector, but if I were, this would be the one for me...

Ooooh Tony! Great choice! Love the Jaguar XK140 Drophead. I was actually bidding on one (the one and only time in my life I participated in an auction) at the Greenwich Concours D’Elegance”. When the bids went over $135k I gave up.

They’ve appreciated “somewhat” since that time... Yes, in retrospect I should have pushed a bit more. What a gorgeous classic and actually drives very nice!
