Hot damn, I can only imagine what sitting in that and then hitting the GO-BABY-GO switch would be like.:Q

One of my customers had an original one of these in his shop for an oil change about a year ago. Said the guy who owned it drove it around town every once in a while. Man, that guy is nuts. I got to touch it :D
 

Sexy car.

Why is it 100K+ though? It's not an original. Is there something really special about it?

I don't think I'd feel right driving an orginal GT500 around, especialy with nitrous. If it's a replica... GO-BABY-GO.

Maybe I am weird but I'd rather just have a GT-500 clone. I really don't like the body mods on that and $125k for what is basically just a 67 fastback is crazy.

It must be late... I found that really funny :D

I just inherited 2.37 million dollars, maybe I will buy this car.

Of course, I am also a big liar.

Very, very, very beautiful car. I would buy it had I the money. I would also have sex with it.
