Afternoon folks,

I'm contemplating building another hot rod. This will be more of a resto rod or resto mod, kind of car that I intend to drive. No garage queen. I'm talking about 7k to 10k miles a year.

if this is you, how many miles a year are you driving?

Who are you insured through?

Are you sure you are covered for replacement value in the event of an accident?

Thanks
Bob

1966 SS got it from my dad when he passed away. changing the wheels. installed a 5 speed tremec instead of the 700r4, FI Tech fuel injection and a in tank LS fuel pump. currently doing a Rideteck coilover suspension front and rear with a 4 link.

@JR_77 , not spam. I'm just more of a reader here. I dont have a lot to contribute to this site. I figured gun dudes are also American hotrod dudes....

Right now I'm going between mis 80s monte Carlo with 400inch LS or 84 - 87 Grand National.
Monte Carlo probably can find that’s gonna need a lot of work.

Grand nationals are gonna be ever harder to find and will be in good shape most likely and will be big money. Especially since one of the biggest hi hop artists of 2024-2025 just paraded a grand nationals around the globe.

They just got harder to find and much more expensive.

G body with a 427 sounds good to me!
