Picked up a plate for when I finally register it in Kansas.

The more I look at Andy's '67, the more I think I should sell my '69 to spud and buy the '67.

The reasoning behind that?

His doesn't have the trim on the body lines, and it has the old style push button door handles that I prefer. My least favorite aspect of the car is that gawdawful trim that runs the length of the car. Absolutely hate it.

I never noticed the door handles before.

I hope your serious. I have a easily broken heart.

I prefer the 67's over the 68/69's, but I'm a bit bias... The lack of trim, push button door handles, 1 year only hood and metal grille. They just look a bit slicker.

I have the 2. Had the blue one for years and it's a project. Picked the yellow up about 6 months ago. It's in pretty good shape.

Great Plate. Only one better would be "No Motard"
Don't want anyone thinking you're one of "those guys"

I like the "No Motard" but too many letters.

What's the blue one got in it for engine/trans? The yellow one is pretty sweet, but I still prefer the blue one. We might end up treating them like party girls and shuffling them between us. BTW, what is the one that looks like a '71?

The blue one is a 290/auto with ac, or at least it was. It's apart right now to paint the engine compartment but it's sitting on front & back Control Freaks suspension and I have a nice 401 and 5 speed to go back in it.
The Matador is a 71, originally a 304/auto but has a 360/tf in it now. Picked it up pretty much as it sits 6 or 7 years ago. Paint is nice but the rest needs work... electrical system is shit. Kinda of surprised it hasn't burnt down yet, but it runs great.
I like the 2 dr big cars better than my AMX/Javelins these days.

Sounds like your '67 would be quite a bit out of my price range even if you did decide you didn't want it. That '71 is cool AF. Back when I was in high school and my DD was a '73 four door, I really really wanted to find a two door. Sadly, they only made them for three years, and I'm sure the sedan outsold the hardtop at least 10:1. I've never seen one for sale within a thousand miles.
