Default Introduction

Well, I've been away for a while (about a year). I have a 04 Accord V6 6 speed coupe, Shapphire Blue Pearl with Black Leather interior.
Couple a mods:

225/45/18 Michelin Pilot Sports on 18 x 71/2 Kazera wheels
22 mm Comptech rear sway bar
HFP spring/shock suspension package

Now, I haven't been here for awhile. Last winter I was looking for an Accord or Civic to use as a second car. At first I thought "winter beater" but I kept aiming my sights higher. I finally set $3000 as a max price. I wanted a 91 to 93 Accord (4th gen) but alls I keep seeing were cars that either had a pile a miles on them or had some defect(s) that would need attention.

Believe it or not, I had a revelation! I thought I could buy an old Mopar fixer uper fot that same price.......again....diappointment. I upped my price ceiling and expectations some more. Long story short, I found something I'm very happy with:

1967 Chrysler 300 convertible...440 TNT engine with 2 four barrel carbs... automatic. The car has all the performance goodies and a few luxury items (nothing compared to todays cars with all their gizmos). It's a 'partially reatored' car. I paid $16K for it That's a whole lot more than $3 for an Accord 4th gen driver. It IS a nice car. I have been spending the last year at old Mopar and Chrysler sites. SOOOO, I've been away.

I'll post some more details later if anyone is interested!
