Truly one of my top favorites!
The car I should of kept.
If I had the money, this would be my dream car. I saw a guy at the Hill a couple months ago with one. Had a Chevy V6 variety engine and an Albins. I still haven't got that car out of my head.
I was dreaming of that car when it changed hands recently. Turns out a dune buddy bought it. I got a ride in it and I don't fit in it at all. Beautiful car though for sure.If I had the money, this would be my dream car. I saw a guy at the Hill a couple months ago with one. Had a Chevy V6 variety engine and an Albins.

It is like this because of where the chassis rails run. The newer cars are focused on safety, so you are contained within the car. Having a side impact in an old car- you are dead. You can't get out of Alumicraft with a new car under $200k.I'm not a hug fan of the new cars, partly because 100+ k for a toy is out of my budget - but also they look like they'd have a bit of tunnel vision and more geared towards desert racing where the terrain is more flat. The smaller opening from the front view could be odd when going around a bowl and wanting to pick the next line - I'm always looking one or two turns ahead...I love the looks, just not sure on how the cockpit view would be compared to the older more open fronts.
If I could afford a new one - I'd ask to build it similar to the early 2k cars like the one above.
