Don't know if I could live with that paint job for long but it fun to dream about. It's only about $239,000.00 for the GT version.

Only...OMG that would be the only way I could have that car...in a dream...but it is very cool!!!

And that's without the custom paint but the black one is so hot. It has 10 cylinders.

And you can get the cool lambo vertical doors kit on it! It is a high-performance uber car for sure.

62 mph in 3.8 seconds though - not super, superfast but fast. But boy, tops at 197 mph. The Spyder is hand-built. In the Italian car show, I think it was, they had one tricked out as a Police Car. Light bars on top & all. But oh, that black Spyder is something.

yorkietalkjilly · 06-17-2012, 06:31 AM

Yeah, the Spyder is a nice dream but your Louise is real & actually in your own driveway! Despite today's supercars, a car like Louise has all the elegance, character & charm of a time of youth & fun, cool & good times in her every line. It looks to me as if she has been caringly restored in every detail. What are her specs? What is her interior like? What kinds of looks does she get when you take her out for a spin? And does her engine have that special growl in it that used to turn all of our heads when a car like that cruised by?

Louise is a restored 65 almost 100% original equipment. She has an 8-cylinder 289 V-8 and upgrades were an edelbrock intake and 4 barrell holley carb. The interior is all original except for the hidden audio system

The orignal leather pony seats are still there and the insets where the pony is you will notice are discolored a bit from age..but there is not one tear in the seats front or back. I wanted to change the upholstery to the red/white pony leather seats but DH says we need to leave the interior alone. She has the original factory air and has an automatic transmission...I can drive a stick...but she is what she is as far as tranny goes. She has dual exhaust system with the trumpet tips. She is also the high performance motor..I know I am leaving something out

Please ignore my voice...haha My oldest son had just finished doing a tune-up and changing oil and adjusting carb and wanted to take Loiuse on a test drive to see if the carburator needed more tweeking and it was the first time I had ever let him drive my baby..we were just getting on the highway and he was going a little fast for our curvy road..and for his nervous momma

Ahhhhh......I'm in love. She is one sweet machine. Green with jealousy!!! Bet anyone who drives Louise would tend to go a tad faster than posted speed! I would!

BabyGirl Rosie · 06-18-2012, 06:13 AM

So I told DH I wanted a Camaro or a Vette for my birthday this year.

He gave me this long look and said we don't have any where to park it.

We have a two car garage with one car in it. Really?? He can't do better than that???? I guess I better ask for the diamond.
