I assume they are not very practical at all, and the majority are rarely driven.
This seems like a paradigm that was popular in the 80s or something.
Did this get popular when muscle cars were not as collectible as they became in the 90s?
When I see these cars re-listed for sale, it appears they are not easy to sell.
It now seems very dated, and I wonder who buys these cars today.
Guys under 40 probably associate it as their "dad's car".
But, their 60/70 year old dad's aren't buying 500hp cars that are tubbed with hood blowers on them.
They're most likely selling them off. |
I doubt that that's a crate engine under that "hood blower"; probably an aluminum huge block, something in the 600ci range, milled from a solid block of aluminum on a cnc with heads to match from a company like Sonny's that does these for a living.
When it comes to cars, and especially hobby cars I'm of the same mind as I am of music. Who am I to judge what other people like?
