[QUOTE="Recon, post: 16364399, member: 181287"] I might’ve been too harsh, so I’ll add this. I was supposed to have a 350Z for my first car. It was a very very nice, really low mile car, but wasn’t me. I wanted a classic muscle so the Z was sold and my Impala SS came home. That was May 9, 2009 and I’ve not regretted a single second of ownership. The restoration was a fun learning experience and she’s won some car shows. 2 best of shows, stock/original class, then 2 or 3 top 25. I’ve had several offers, one in particular was generous, but answer will always the same regardless of the amount. She’s not as stout as the mustangs but they aren’t as heavy as she is. She floats like a Cadillac, the ride is truly something to experience. The bigger cars are like that, depends on the suspension. Now the brakes, compared to a modern car, they suck. Plain and simple, but they’re big drums, take it for what it’s worth. My mother says she’s my wife and that seems accurate. I share her with no one. Other people that have driven the car, very few family members and coworkers testing maintenance. One good family friend has been behind the wheel, and that’s it. Now we’re working on the T/A and she’s coming along well. Engine is being fussy, but that should be resolved soon. She’s a very beautiful car and the strength of the engine is as addicting as my supercharged Roush. Raw is putting it mildly and the scary thing is it’s a lightly modded small block. You’d never know it unless I told you. It’s modded internally, and even then it isn’t much. She’ll be attending shows hopefully this spring. They have a beauty that’s unmatched by their descendants, but they are not impervious to the flaws of their time. If your wife can get past the flaws she love them as much as I do. Pick your poison.
