Phil, I will be 52 in February. And been into the muscle car scene before I could drive.
Was just talking to a friend yesterday, he's 53. he was watching the show too. He's not into the stuff like me, so I was telling him about the "new" terminology from when we were teens and early 20's, and how it's change?
NUMBERS MATCHING used to be what is now "born with". Now it means the correct date coded parts for the given body. We were talking about a guys 1967 or 1968 GT 350. HE was told, it's numbers matching with the Roush 347???????????? Ya can't figure that one out.
It's now that guys who used to be into the market as teens, now have the $$$ to get back in. My thread on my friend buying the hemi RR at Mecum for example. But they haven't stayed up on the new wording like above or market values.
