Winding Road Magazine Question of the Day

1967 Shelby GT500 Eleanor. I get the goosebumps just from looking at it.

Jag E-Type. Only the Series 1 with covered headlights will do. Either 3.8 or 4.2 Litre, I don't car. I still lust after those, but will never happen. Those cars have just gotten too far out of reach for my income.

Arne, for your viewing pleasure, although I'd guess most E-type fans like the convertible over the coupe.

So you know, I got this baby for a song - the coupe, if you like the shape (it's much nicer IMHO - very period, sort of GTO-ish), is an absolute bargain. I bought this car for less than $20K only 2 years ago

When I was a kid, I always wanted a 57 Chevy.

A 1957 Chevy what?

Chevrolet made a number of vehicles in 1957. I don't see why people can't just say which one. I see them at car shows all the time.

Mine was a "1964 Ferrari." How's that for ambiguity?

I remember seeing 'Good Guys Wear Black' with Chuck Norris when I was a kid and loved his black 911. In high school it was definitely the Ferrari 308 from Magnum PI. But there were three guys (aka 'posers') in the Walnut Creek area in California who liked to dress up like Magnum with the Detroit Tigers hat, hawaiian shirt and red Ferrari which spoiled it for me. Now I'd still love a black 911 - any year.

Not me. I love the coupes all the way. Very nice car and what a steal. I'm guessing that is some of the best money ever spent....

[rdefabri]

Hey thanks! Yes, among the best money spent, certainly on a car IMHO. Like I said, the coupe is a steal since most enthusiasts opt for the open-top!

A guy down my street has a 1957 Corvette...

[Fun_in_my_z]

I have a 57 one ton truck....

Personally I have always wanted a whole bunch of different year lugnuts, and here you guys are!

Wow, one is even wrapped in aluminium!

Seriously, I fell in love with the 240Z when I was a youngster on a school bus, and knew I had to have one of those "devilfish cars".
