Ah....roll bar means its an R/T does it?? Very observant.  The car is a 68 440 R/T with lairy exhaust, edlebrock high rise manifold and we're almost certain it has some mild cam work etc. I love this car...especially the grill

Lee, I neeeeeed some Yank in my fleet! Those cars are bloody fantastic.  Probably Charger, Stang and XK in that order but must admit that Ralph Lauren pic of the XK looks mighty good! I'm leaning towards a pickup truck of sorts ...... I love the SSR but so many people slag it off? What do you recommend? Sensible budget please  three seats would be great 4wd nice but not essential.
Cheers

I love that Charger, it is magnificent. I know the resto took ages and cost a fair whack but it really did turn out like new.

The SSR was built here in Lansing, Michigan, just a few miles down the road from my house. It was so popular that the factory that made it is now a flat baron concrete slab.  Personally the new Ford F-150 Raptor has my vote for a pickup I would spend $$ on (sans graphics package).  As for Mustang vs. Jaguar, I would much rather have the vintage Jag as a project, but Rustangs are abundant around here. Challengers, new or old also are on my list of cars I would one day like to own!

... so maybe classic? I can't 'spanner' though Regardless of that, if you go classic I may have just the workshop manual for you... Cheers,

I like the Raptor but the SSR falls into the trying too hard to be retro camp.
Did anyone catch the Wheeler Dealers episode where they did the US pickup? I'd have gladly owned that.

Cheers, You're pushing it now Graham it was worrying enough that Simon was buying garage furniture let alone Boshly. Can you image what the two of them would be like with tools to play with.
