I already own a Desirable '70s Muscle car.
But if I was get another one, I'd be a Camaro SS 396.

If you want an attainable muscle car, get a 68 Camaro or a T-bird.

250 GTO will be just a little more than difficult to acquire, even if you have the funds.

Other than that, maybe look at a Karmann Ghia.

if you where to have a colectable car would you guys not want to drive them? Ferrari definatly not something that you can drive anywhere but yes its a collectable car. why not australian muscle cars they are going up in price as we speak.

who said you cant drive a ferarri?

Last one I saw was on a track doing laps at Winton... (550 Maranello)
cars like that are MEANT to be driven

but a 250 GTO? well at 11 million pounds, I f you could have one of those, you could also afford a private airstrip....

I think that any owner of a collectible car thinks carefully about when and where they drive it..and hence the insurance companies are aware of that and the premiums are adjusted accordingly (my 124 has a $250 a year premium, and it's replacement value is close to teh $20K mark)

yes on a track not in the real world. buy a hk bathurst monaro and you can drive it and drive it and drive it not worrying about every km that you clock up. ferarri's do not like having high km on them same as lombo's etc etc. give me a CLASSIC AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE CAR thats where its at. tune the thing yourself change the oil youself and no one questions it buy a ferarri and go to sell it and ill bet whoever is looking at it asks who serviced it

**ultim8DTM5** · 9th February 2006, 10:24 PM

Yes, but one is a piece of **** Holden and the other is a several hundred thousand dollar car.

If you can afford the car, you can afford to have it serviced by the best.
