Ahh I'd probably invest it in a house but the stang would be nice if another 114k was to come to me later down the track :hihi:

I would be happy with any car if I had any amount of money.

I remember seeing the website for a place doing the Eleanor for $40,000 if I remember correctly....this one is over-priced.

For $114k, or $90k US.. you can build your own that will look just like it, and put a bigger, more powerful engine into it.

Yeah, I'd put a fair amount of that cash on the house and reduce the mortage a hell of a lot. Then the repayments will be far lower, so we can afford to spend the rest of the money on a XB GT Coupe or something and buy another hot car for Kye...then sell the AU. Its win-win.

Now you're talking sense! I'd rather a piece of Aussie motoring history then a replica of a car from a movie.
