So, I'm prepping to order a 2018 GT PP1 or 2 (depending on what it ends up being) and I told myself that I would not get another gray car. My last 3 vehicles were gray and my current daily driver truck is gray and my recently sold (at Mecum) pro touring Chevelle was gray. I thought I was set on Lightning Blue, but after seeing this thread, I'm strongly considering Magnetic; yet another gray car... lol It's just such a great color. Looks mean, classy, never looks dated, hides dirt and scratches, etc.

Great minds think alike sir!!!
I LOVE pro-touring cars!! I would love to build one, but it's too much $$ and time. I want to go all out, all DSE stuff mostly. Mini tubbed, DSE subframe/ DSE quadra link, etc., etc.
I also have a Ram as my daily driver! :cheers:

Cool, thanks. Stock struts? Amazing how good the stock wheels look when offset properly

Sweet!

It was a nice car. I owned it for 26 years; was my first car. After being stored for 20 years, I tore it apart and built it. I didn't do the body, paint or interior, but all the electrical, electronics, and mechanical. Body took a year and over 800 labor hours and the mechanical tool me 2 years. Won a bunch of shows, drove like a modern car, but wore me out. Cruising around and hanging out at car shows got boring. Was time to let it go and put some cash back in the bank. Only got a little more than half the cash back, but that will find the mustang which I will be able to enjoy more with less worry... lol

All my suspension was UMI. Great stuff, made in the USA in PA.

Gorgeous car man. SO nice.

Yeah,....I'd much rather have a pro-touring '69 Camaro/'70 Chevelle or '70 Camaro than a modern day muscle car, but it's too much money. (Way more than a brand new GT350R and those are going for about 100K brand new.)
The LSx engine alone would probably be about 15-20K, DSE suspension is about 14K. LOL :lol: :lol: Never mind the bodywork/paint/interior and all the other stuff.

I did all the mechanical and electrical myself and I spent ~70k on the car in parts and paint and body labor. You can get LS engines for cheap. I found mine out if a salvage vehicle with 900 miles on it for 3 grand plus another few grand for custom cam, lifters, valve springs, pushrods, rockers, custom engine harness, intake, drive by wire gas pedal and throttle body, fuel rails, injectors, and lots of time on the dyno for a custom tune. Everything else on the car was brand new. The wheels were custom one off forged 3 piece wheels I had fabricated for the car to ensure exact offsets and etc.

Hard to let it go, but it was not practical unless you just like cruises and car shows. I'd like to have a bit more fun with a lot less worry. At least with a modern muscle car, if ya get a rock chip or trash a fender, you just make a trip to the parts office at the dealership. Lol

Nothing like having hordes of people stand around your car though taking pictures and etc and the ability to say that you designed and built it instead of a robot on an assembly line.
