I really love the 428 super cobra jet mustang or the 70 boss mustang 302. What do you guys/gals think?
it all depends on which of the big three car companies you are most fond of. dollar wise, the hemi cuda convertible has been a top money earner at auction recently. i liked the boss 302 and the Z28 302 camaro.

It doesn’t matter what you want; almost every consumer product on U.S. store shelves is made overseas, especially in China . It doesn’t matter how much you want to find it; almost nothing you need is made in the USA. From expensive manufactured equipment to swank plasma TVs to the simplest munchies for a kid’s lunchbox, that “Product of China ” label is stamped on it all. Try taking the China Test for a month or two - maybe even a year. Any time you buy anything, flip it over and read the label to see if it was made in the Middle Kingdom.

Military contractors are dependent on parts made abroad, which means America’s ability to project force is tied to foreign suppliers whose interests might not always coincide with our own. “The defense industry has been off-shored,” warned former South Carolina Sen. Fritz Hollings. “Today, we can’t go to war except for the favor of a foreign country.”

By Patrick J. Buchanan I went to a dealership last weekend to check out an All-American muscle car, but it didn't turn out to be all-American at all. As listed on the window sticker, the domestic content was only 55 percent.

Chamblee said stories like that are history, and that's what he and others showing classics at Saturday's car show have in common. They enjoy history. "These vehicles -- trucks and cars -- are part of our past and cars just aren't made like this any
