It is interesting to be looking at the Accord again after all these years. The ex and I bought the first Civic model year (1973) and then the first Accord (1976). Both were fantastic cars.

 

How many millions of miles did those old Honda give you?

 

Accords are great cars. I suggested to my sister that she buy one and she did and loves it has had it for over a decade and zero issues just maintenance.

 

I have a friend who spent $225k and 5 years restoring and modifying a 73 Corvette. The big unveiling is Saturday at a local muscle car show. There will be a crew there to take pics and viceo. All I know about it is it has an LS9 pumping over 1000hp on the ground.

He's really excited. I taking my my Grandsons to the show. I'll get some pics. For that kind of money it should be absolutely wild although why he chose a 73 Corvette for this project I have no idea. He has interesting taste in cars. He' a former S2000 owner.
Here's the question. If you could pick a car to restore and modify at that level, what would your choice be?

 

Time and money no object? Right at this moment, I'm thinking Alpine A110.

 

A guy that lives near me has a C-1 corvette restomod and he said he has over 250k into it. Seemed high to me but when you break it down it adds up to big bucks.
Car I would choose would be a Ferrari 308GTB. I would modify the interior so I could fit comfortably and put a Ferrari 355 motor in it and maybe switch out the black rubber bumpers for the later painted Ferrari 328 ones.

 

Money no object, I would see if Jay Leno would let go of his 1934 Duesenberg Walker Coupe. https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...-leno-s-garage
For something closer to the $225k maybe a higher mileage Ferrari Dino or a pristine Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2 plus a nice 997 Turbo Coupe.

I would keep any of those pretty much stock.

 

 

If I was a billionaire I would buy this and shoot anyone who tried to modify it.

 

Or this one ???
