    The price reflects it's perceived status as a collectible, not how good it is. They are good, but not 3 times a 360.

    Quite a few SW's in Aus - they've been the most sought after C2's for a long time. Problem is that most are awful to drive. The standard car has soggy suspension, drum brakes and a 250hp 327. Most 300 or 340hp cars have standard suspension too - you could order a standard car and tick whatever engine option you liked. A 340hp car with sports suspension is US$200K now, well over $300K landed here. An injected "big tank" SW is a US$300K car now.

    I switched my search to 66 big blocks because they came with all the right options - including stiff suspension and 4 spot ventilated discs front and rear. They handle, stop and go much better than any 1966 production Ferrari (and plenty of 70's ones for that matter).

    I've only ever driven a later 76' car and although it went like the clappers(can't remember if it had a 350 or 454) it too was awful to drive..it really felt like a fast kit car and the build quality felt poor,,very rattlely as well..
    I've always had a soft spot for the though C1,,'56-57

    True enough, but I've driven 275's in reasonable anger and whilst I'm sorry to corrupt fchat with reality, they're not very good.
