Didn't have a prayer For those few that attend car shows, don't you hate when this happens? You end up next to the eventual 'Best of Show' winner. Didn't have a chance. A 1936 pre-war Mercedes 'vert. Oh well. 90 cars in attendance and some real quality. Probably would not have won a 'top 20' anyway. Here are a few photos (click to enlarge).

Problem is, most of the votters swing the other way. I find if your not in the 25yr old or older crowd, they dont give you time of day most times. I mean lets face it, our cars are special to us but in the grand scheme of muscle cars, the crowd swings the other way. I can't tell you how many times I've heard; " how did that car get in here, thats a brand new car" although my car is 15 yrs old...FWIW, IMHO, YMMV!

Thanks for the vote Chevyguy2001!!
From a Google search:
Question: What Is 'YMMV'? What Does YMMV Mean?
Answer: "YMMV" is "your mileage may vary". It is used as a disclaimer that "this claim for results will be different for every person". It is commonly used when answering technical-type questions in online conversations. You will see this acronym both in uppercase YMMV and lowercase ymmv form, both meaning the same thing

I'm 19 and i'd vote for an old car. Not because it looks better, considering how old it is, restoring one of those aren't exactly easy or cheap. I restore 67-69's mach 1's for a living and end up with $20k in restoring one alone and they weren't even that bad to begin with... The thing is, mustang parts are cheaper. I'm about to start on a 68 charger rt and with just the basics added up (not the small stuff), restoring it is at around $35-40k.

Sorry, I don't remember the details. It was indeed a very rare car and most likely a car worth well into the 6 figures. Give the guy credit for driving it. It rained on us later in the day too. He was fine with it. "Just water".

idahoz28, you would really like my friend in my local car club. He builds everything from scratch and just finished a '32 Ford T-bucket ( I think that's what they call them). Incredible machines you guys have. Other than oil changes and simple maintenance I don't have a clue on 'builds' but still appreciate them.
