The ex-military vehicle I was looking at ranges from 5-8.5k, depending on how many k's. If I end up buying one day I would do a restoration on it overtime and get it back into good shape because the engines and overall interior and exterior have seen better days...

-------
I personally love classics, something which I would love to own one day is a phase three ford gt 351 in a mint condition.

Do you like classics astro?

yea absolutely love them, i aspire to get an e-type v12 jag once in my life, i find them beautiful. At the moment, no classics are in my price range and the ones that are are beat up rust buckets. But realistically i could see my self with a project 240z or 260z (many years from now)

Oof I love them classics. Its just the sound of them which you fall in love with. Yes they are expensive toys, especially the etype, I hope there would be classics still out there by the time we have enough cash lying around because this my only concern at this stage.

Mate it's just the fact that I can imagine an 86 or let's say and amg as a classic hahaha, because we are living in the era the cars were made in so its quite confusing I say for that to sink in lol.

One of my relos has owned a genuine phase 3 GTHO since new. He's too scared to drive it and doesn't enjoy it at all because of the value, it's a shame really.

Re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

Phase three's are worth 400-500k!!! Aboslutely wonderful car. It's like another member in your family and you need to look after it constantly and not take your eye off it.

Did your uncle buy it back in the day or had a couple hundred thousand floating around and decided to buy one

you can't blame him, it's pretty much a life long investment now, it is an appreciating asset, most he can do is start it every few weeks and top up fluids and occasionally drive it to check everything runs.

Anyone here watch Ariderslife, AdjrianNicklodeon, Leadpin, RoyalJordanian, Chaseontwowheels and the other good ones which I have missed out? I personally like Leadpin more because of his personality followed by Adjrian for his 'Get of your phone' messages and his daily commute into the city.
Leadpin is a straight up mad kent!!! :lol:
