Is that really not enough? What is enough? Would if fix any problems significant enough to create financial, economic, or class growth?
Cutta, you're referring to Bob Shaw's U/SA Cadillac.

The difference between other cars that run WAY under, and the new cars (CJ/DP/COPO), is that, with the older cars could buy them, as is, from your local dealer. Insure them, inspect them, license them, and drive them home. None of which are true with the 2008 and newer cars.

THAT, is the main bone of contention. I said, years ago, if you could not buy a car, as is, from your local dealership, license it, register it, insure it, and legally drive it home, it doesn't belong in Stock. It should be S/S-only, like the Hemi's, '69 hi-po AMX, T-bolts (pre-2007), etc.
