Now THAT is the kind of commercial I enjoy, even if it's on YouTube, which I usually detest. Looks like a young Mel Gibson in the back of the cop car...is the commercial THAT old?
Overpowered, overpriced new cars

I think around 2006. Not sure though. It's not new I do know that.

Good thread. Just thought I would ask, how many of you folks that posted have been watching Barrett-Jackson. It just does not get any sweeter that some of the rides one sees on there.

I'm hooked! I love seeing the old muscle cars. Oh, btw, no such thing as an over powered car, but there are men with testosterone deficiencies.

I subscribe to both Hemmings Muscle Machines and Hemmings Classic Car, I always drool over the cars featured there and pictured in the auction ads. Latest issue of HCC has an auction profile of a numbers matching, body off restored '62 Vette fuelie....drool, drool, drool....
Oh yes, I watch the auctions sometimes, and when I do, it is fun to guess how much the cars will actually end up selling for. HMM lists mini auction results for maybe 20 cars each month.

I drool over the Superbirds...
Always thought they were butt-ugly what with the add on plastic nose and wing...

They remind me of Allis Chalmers "G"; it is so ugly it is cute! I didn't used to like the Jag XKE either, but the convertible version has grown on me...
I know when the Superbirds first came out, they could not sell them because people thought they were extreme; many dealerships pulled the wings and noses just to get them to sell. The other thing is, NASCAR changed the rules after the Daytona, and forced Mopar to make a lot more Superbirds

They were weird looking, but fiercely competitive. As for Mopars, I think the 70 Cuda is my favorite followed closely by the 70 Charger. Of course both need the Hemi!!

The Daytona and Superbird were the first cars to crack the 200mph barrier. Even by todays standards, they are very aerodynamic. Let them run the 426 hemi and put modern rubber on them, they would dominate NASCAR even today.
