Re: SV: sport fury denmark

[Dave64 <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

Any of us Mopar guys who have watched Barrett-Jackson (which turns my stomach more and more) probably have noticed that whenever a '62 Dodge or Plymouth comes across, Mike Joy makes a comment about how ugly it is.  This shoots any credibility he has with me.  For my money, he's just another talking head who has no taste.  I think the '62 cars look great.  Such a unique look - you can't mistake it for anything else.  The only thing that makes that show worth watching is fellow Mopar guy Steve Magnante.

Gary hit the nail on the head.  Over here, even, very few "get it" when it comes to our love of the '62-'65 cars.  Knud - seeing your pics and reading your posts gives me a whole new appreciation for living in America (that we often take for granted).  We're fortunate to live here - where these cars were born and are still around.  When those of us in America think about how much money we spend on our cars, we need to think about you and what it takes for you to find and get parts to where you are.  I'm sure we have it much easier.  Your dedication is inspiring!
