[Arkan]

Well, as time gets closer to the '07 Shelby GT-500, i'm getting a lil' apprehensive about actually getting the car. You see, the problem is many. Price is not yet set, production #'s aren't known either, and exactly what the car will look like is also a mystery. As some of you know, Arkan plunked down a deposit back in March just to be able to order this car. I'm currently #4 on the list at that particular dealership. If they only get 3 cars, i'm out. So, all of that got me thinking about another car "solution". You see, i currently have a car and truck for daily transportation so this car is just a toy. I always wanted a perfectly restored American Muscle car but they are very very expensive now a days. I currently have 2 such cars but they need alot of work to bring them to "showroom" condition and to be quite frank, it'll end up costing me as much as the new mustang. So, Arkan came up with another idea. How about building myself the ultimate street machine?

Only 6 real cars exist in the world today and i never even saw a custom built one let alone an "original". What car you ask? Well, none other that the 1965 Cobra Daytona Coupe.

When complete, this car will be entirely "brand new" costing me about as much as the Shelby GT-500 Mustang.

Both cars will satisfy my needs, be brand new, and cost about the same. Only difference will be i'd have to assemble the Coupe and it won't be completed for another couple of years! So, thats my current dilema in toy land. Only time will tell which car will be parked in my garage.

Don't ask me why i felt like posting this.....guess i need to see my reasoning out in the open.

Opinions welcomed.
