Classic cars return from grave

Until now??? Did you miss the 80's?

I tired so hard to forget those years.

But, hey, I think the new Mustang has the right spirit in its current form. The front is even kinda sexy.

It's like GM's failure with the Monte Carlo and the Impala. Yeah the new ones have the same name but they certainly aren't Monce Carlos and Impalas.

The front end of the new Monte Carlo makes me shed a tear like that Indian dude in the 70's commercial about not littering.

Define "failure."

The new models may share the name and manufacturer of the original, but lack anything resembling the appearance, performance, coolness, room, etc of their elder namesakes.

Yeah, it's not bad looking.... from a distance, they need to build the Cobra concept car though. Jim would buy me one I think.... it's all I ever wanted...

The current Monte SS isn't bad looking. Except for the weak front end it's not far off from when they were cool.

I just realized, that car... like any Cobra... has your name all over it!

Izzat by design?

Dad's a fan. He really liked Richard Petty too, so I feel like I got lucky there...
