Just starting to look about, but fancy something with 4 doors and was inspired by a comment in this forum a few weeks back.

Ideally I'm looking for a 77-90 3 box shape sedan, although the latter 91-96 rounded shape might be a consideration for the right money.

I've tried eBay, Classic American mag and a few others. Not a single one so far.....


Cheers smile

It's a bit far away from me. Think I'd rather try and hold out for an earlier boxy shape, something like this 4 door:



I quite like the fat tyres with white writing.

Interesting links Lus1fer. Just goes to show how cheaply (relatively speaking of course) you can get hold of something really DIFFERENT. I particularly like that 60's Chrysler....I get the odd bit of interest driving along in my 4th gen Camaro, but imagine the looks you'd getting navigating 19ft of that down your local high street! I reckon' the Plymouth might be more in tune with what 300bhp/ton is looking for though...to me they have a similar kind of look.

Edit: Nope, just looked again and noticed that the Plymouth is a wagon, not a sedan, so probably won't fit the bill.

lol, I liked the pic and while my mind seemed to know what I wanted to type, my fingers didn't laugh

Should have said:

"something like this, but 4 door"biggrin

No not yet. There was a lovely one on ebay a month or so back. Just a bit more money than what I could raise though. They do seem pretty rare and far and few between.
