No I wouldn't, I don't like it.......Simple I drive things I like.
As my Fury's previous owner says "Drive it and drive it like your a factory test driver"
When is a classic C-Body to valuable to drive?

This Imperial of mine has over 117 000 miles on it and it is still the finest road car I've ever driven. By not driving it I would be denying myself that "feel" every time I slip behind the wheel, and I would be keeping the machine from its designed purpose.
I've had a few friends that had some very nice cars and were afraid to drive them. One of them an Army friend in Germany. Had a V-12 Jag and was afraid to drive over 100 kph. He would have me take it out and blast it down the Autobahn several times a year. What a ride!
Nice photo, taken on my birthday.

I know that feeling all to well. Every time I turn the key, hear the buzzer and then the mini starter whines for about 2-3 secs. Then the good times begin.

My Fury isn't nice enough to worry about driving it or not. I drive it to school everyday, football games, the store, where ever I need to go. My dilemma right now is the coming salt. The van seems to have thrown time (Thank you GM and your crappy plastic cam gears) and the Fury is the only other option. I don't want to drive it in the salt, but I know the people who had it before me did.
Yes, I do. :icon_cool:

I drive two vehicles. An '06 F-150 and a '76 New Yorker.
My NY is priceless. Total Operating Costs are about $2.00/mile.
I bought the F-150 to be my disposable BIC lighter. Use it up, throw it away which I doubt because it will outlast me. Total Operating Costs? About a penny a mile.
I love them both.

It's refreshing to see the term "super car" used. That is what the HP cars were marketed as in the mag ad's and on the dealership windows in the 60's.
The term "muscle car" was never used until the late 70's sometime when some magazine
columnist coined the term. I never really accepted the term "muscle car", but these days the youngsters don't know what your talking about when referencing "super cars".
So thanks for that Bob ...!!!!

I like this forum because there is always something new to learn (re-learn). I had forgotten the source of the Supercar term. These days it just references 6 figure cars.

Something I don't recall seeing is a turquoise air cleaner....
Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth had the best marketing print ad's, TV commercials, and sales campaigns in the '60's and 70's hands down!
I remember those commercials on TV like they were yesterday!!!
I can't remember a single noteworthy Ford or Chevy ad or commercial.....

I am proud to say I have never seen the USA in a Chevrolet. Saw it from a 77 Gran Fury wagon, a 76 Cordoba, a 70 Dodge Challenger, a 70 ford truck towing a 69 Barracuda, and numerous Peterbilts and a International Transtar II cabover. But never in a chevy.
