Daeron Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Roadster. The REAL FairLady!!! Beautiful work, that looks like my Uncle's 67 but far far nicer. I like the interior and low windshield of the older ones, but the technological divide between these cars (especially the mid sixties vintage) and even the carbureted Z-cars is ABSURD.. the beautiful part is that with minimal innovation, ALOT of the bits and pieces used on the Z (even some engine internals) can be used on the roadsters all the way back to 64ish. When I talk roadster I am honestly in over my head; but my uncle is a True afficionado and has infected me with the disease too. If only we didn't all have Z's, we might actually have TIME to work on the Roadsters!!! (AND the old boats, AND go fishing... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeron Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Nice, the color is awesome. I love the old school wheels, are you going to keep those? My Uncle just sold a set of pristine 14x6 American Racings on ebay for over 800 buxx0rs. we have i think four more, maybe a total of six more, but two are unpainted and a little rough, and four have the spokes painted gold metallic. I know he would sell them for the right price, but I don't know what that is. If you REALLY want them, send me a PM with an opening offer and I will take it from there.
