I've said it before and I'll say it again: that is the most ridiculous pool enclosure I've ever seen. You'd have to get a bank loan just to replace the screening.
It's just the camera angle...the guy who fixes the screens is a crazy Russian that I don't understand...I call him to fix 1 or 2 panels and he charges me for 6 :crazy:

All you need is a recip saw.

YEEEEE HAAAAAW!!!

could you imagine that in a wreck? your head flopping around and your head or neck hitting that exposed metal?
It looks like he used a sawsaw (what we call them) to cut it down. Im sure he has a buddy to weld him some pipe for a roll bar or hope he does.

Here you go,, sport. A 1966 Corvette Roadster with a 327/350 motor, 4 speed manual trans.
I have owned it since 1989. Bring $60k cash and you can own it. I promise you that it will only
go up in value.

The bottom-of-the-barrel 327 option was meant exclusively for ladies. The original owner was likely a little old lady who wore those huge glasses with the chain that went around her neck, and drove it to play Canasta.

Well, it is no Miata, that is for sure.

I love these cars by the way, but I can't help but wonder about your last sentence. What will happen to the muscle car market when all the Baby Boomers are dead, something that's going to happen over the next 20 years. Nostalgia is what largely drives the prices of classic cars, but the generations after never experienced these cars as young people. Gen X'ers and beyond care a great deal less about 50's and 60's cars. Will the prices decline? Methinks so.

I think we've already seen that with the t-buckets and even 50 cars a little bit.

first generation corvette? I think there will always be a huge market.

Yeah I rarely see any 50's or even 60's muscle cars at the few local car shows and meets anymore but the Vette's will hold up for serious collectors.
Another reason for the die off in interest is most people under 30 wouldn't have a clue how to work on a car...give them a screwdriver and the dipsh!ts would likely poke their eye out with it.

this includes mechanics.

try walking in some place and telling them you want your carb adjusted and timing set... on anything. ODB techs have zero clue.
