Was offered a trade of my 71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus hot rod for a Ford GT40. They said they were restoring it and everything was done except for the interior. I turned it down because I thought it was one of those VW kit cars. They didn't start it or let me see the motor. It did have a fresh pait job. All my Dad said was my insurance would be outrageous. I would probably not be alive today if had had gotten a GT40 while still in my teens.

The guys that offered the trade were brothers that had a nice repair shop named Sebring Auto, It was their last name. They were into drag racing, had a mopar 'cuda. Wanted mine because it was quick and had Sebring in the name. I'm sure a big part of why it was so quick is because they worked on it. They didn't offer to trade until I took it in because it broke the motor mount instead of the tires loose.

It actually did well in the snow and ice. It did pretty good in deep snow too because of the way those Plymouths front sloped back from the bumper like a boat. I even described it taking off from the hole like a boat. The rear would drop, then it would start rolling as the rear came up and planed off like a boat.
