Classic Cars, Which do You Own, Did Own, or Wish you Own

[Rich Riddle]

I really enjoy classic cars and rebuilt a driver 1965 Mustang Coupe for the wife a few years ago. Now she's hinting at a 1968 - 1969 Camaro. Just wondering which cars you folks do own, did own, or wished you owned. My dad loves the 1959 Ford retractable hardtop but settled for a Cutlass.

Nice job on the Mustang Rich. Beautiful.

I've never owned a car that was really exceptional. My favorites are the muscle cars. I like all the brands, the GM's, Ford's, Dodge's, If I had to pick my #1 favorite old car it would probably be a 1970 Roadrunner. Or maybe a 1970 Charger.

But again, I like all of them. The Chevelle's, the GTO's, I can't remember the name of the Buick but it was really nice too. The Oldsmobile Cutlass, 442 and Hurst Olds. The Torino's. The Chargers and the Road Runners.

I really don't know that I'll ever have a car like that. Woodworking seems to take up all my disposable income, :).

Wish I could own either a 1928 Duesenberg or a Cadillac with a V-16 engine

[George Bokros]

I have a 1984 Mercury Capri RS 5.0, bought new and drove daily until 1986. I also have a 1985 Mercury Capri GS 5.0 that has never seen snow. The 85 was bought used and I am the third owner.

I wish I had either a Shelby Cobra or a 1968 Shelby GT350

[Raymond Fries]

Back in the muscle car days, I owned a 1968 442 that was running 550 hp with all of the goodies put in the engine. Wish I had a picture to post. I finally got rid of it because it got like 4 MPG but it went really fast. Guess why that is one reason why I got so many speeding tickets. LOL

[Bruce Volden]

1967 Buick Gran Sports, gold with red pinstriping, black vinyl seats, 400ci.......

I wish I had it!!

[Gordon Eyre]

I owned a 1955 Chevy Nomad, a class car in its day.

[Jerome Stanek]

mine was a 1972 Datsun 240Z with shaved heads to boost the power would top out at 160

[daryl moses]

I once owned a 1966 Mustang, white with a black vinyl top it had front disc brakes which was pretty rare for that model. I was 18 at the time and the car was two years old. I traded that car for a 1970 Torino GT with a 351 Cleveland engine. It was Motor Trends "car of the year" It was a nice ride but if I could have one back it would be the 66 Mustang.

1924 Franklin Tudor Sedan

[Mike Hollingsworth]

I regularly drive my 37 Packard 120 Convertible.

Believe it or not it's not accepted as a Classic by the Classic Car Club.

"Classics" for the most part, are typically prewar and were expensive. No Ford and no Chevys. Only thing post war is the Lincoln Continental and a few European jobs like Bugatti.

I restored an early model Porsche 911 (http://www.mikes-woodwork.com/Porsche.htm). When I finished, I realized that what I had was an old car. I sold it.

I enjoyed working on it more than owning it after it was finished.

[My first car was a '46 Ford with a flat head 6. Paid $75 for it but the engine was not in good condition. Completely rebuilt the engine with the help of my father. Bored out the cylinders and had the crank ground, new pistons and rings, replaced all the inserts, new gaskets, etc. Learned a lot about engines with that car.]

’76 MGB.

Looking forward to buying and restoring a first gen. Mazda Miata once I retire.

[Rick Potter]

Oh boy, where to start. When I got married I had a '57 Austin Healey 100-6 with a brand new 327 and four speed in it, then I got my first new car, a '65 GTO, for $3330 out the door. Sold the Healey and rebuilt a '55 T-Bird. Continued owning neat cars all my life, right up until now.

Just this afternoon my 16 year old grandson and I took my '48 Jeepster with a 327 Chevy motor to lunch. Last week he assisted me in rebuilding the carburetor. He loves driving them. Next week he is going to work on my '56 Ford with me. New alternator, etc. (302 EFI). His dad and I built a fiberglass dune buggy together back in the day.

[Jerry Thompson]

I would love to have my 1972 BMW 2002tii back again. I was so red Stevie Wonder could see it.

[Phil Stone]

My last muscle car was a 1968 Barracuda notchback. The 318 in it wasn't enough for me, so I put a 340 out of a wrecked Duster into it. It used to break its motor-mounts on launches.

Here's one that is in much nicer cosmetic shape than mine was:

I like my cars to be a little more efficient these days (and better handling, that thing was a beast!), but I still think fondly of the sound it made when I punched it.

[Phil Thien]

Another 240Z guy here.

In beautiful "please pull me over" red.

[Michael Weber]

Jaguar XKE. 4.2 liter
then a 1950 Jaguar Mark 2 Sedan
then. 1965 Mustang
then and now a 1950 MGTD.
the one I wish I had back the most was the Mark2 Sedan

[James Baker SD]

Not really a classic, but as close as I will ever come. 1995 Mazda RX-7 with twin turbos. Bought it when I heard they were being discontinued and what was on the dealer lots was all there was going to be. Wanted it in silver and found a dealer willing to hunt it for me. He finagled one that met Cal emission codes and I had my dream car. Two weeks later I met my future wife who gets horribly car sick when she rides in it. Could not bring myself to part with the car so it sits in the garage waiting for days when I am alone (wife travels). Car will be 20 years old this fall and it has just over 7000 (no typo) miles on it.

Now if I could have any car ever built, without a doubt the 1953 Mercedes SL gullwing.

[Bruce Page]

My first car was a 1960 T-Bird. I wish I had it today.

[dennis thompson]

61 Corvette
50 Cadillac
53 Chevy
wish I had the Vette

[Jerome Stanek]

Another 240Z guy here.

In beautiful "please pull me over" red.

I bought a red one but it came through as blue. had to wait 7 months for it. and was offered more than i paid for it the day I got it. Was on a waiting list at 3 dealers

I have a friend that still has a blue one, in awesome (original) condition.

They are neat cars.

[Chris Damm]

My 1st car was a 1953 Chevy that I put a in a 301 V8.
Then I bought a 1929 Model A that I put the 301 in.
Followed by a 1966 Chevy Nova SS. Changed the 327 to Z28 running gear.
A 1969 Camaro SS 396 L89 was next. I raced this one with many different engines.
Then a 1970 El Camino with a 307, changed to a destroked 400. (sense a theme here?)
Then I got married and a bunch of boring family cars.
Now I have a 1972 El Camino SS396 and am reliving my youthful fascination with cars!

[Gordon Eyre]

My very first car was a 1935 Ford convertible. The brakes were a joke.

[Randy Rizzo]

'57 Bel Air, a factory 270HP w/dual 4 Rochesters and a '41 Merc 😓 Then there was a '65 GTO, a '67 Camaro SS, and a '62 Impala SS. How's a young guy supposed to know they'd all become classics!!!

[Rick Potter]

I remember cruising the In N Out burger joint, back when there was only one. Midnite, sunglasses on, looking for a race, Pepsi was a dime in the same style cup they still use. I heard they bought the palm tree design from Dixie Cup, when they stopped making them. This would be in 1957, and early 50's Fords were the desired high school car. Anyone who could afford a '55 or newer Chevy with the new V8 was rich.

When I graduated in '60, I was driving a '54 Ford with a hot 312 in it. Only got beat once by a '57 Chevy, because he was running cheater slicks. The richest guy in school had a '59 Impala, with a tri power 348.


When my brother graduated in '65, a sea change had happened. Guys were trailering in Hemi-Dodges to Bob's Big Boy, looking for races. Lots of 409's etc on the used market by then. It was a land of twice pipes, 4-speeds and bucket chairs by then.


That wasn't the only sea change. My yearbook shows girls in dresses at school, even some poodle skirts. My brothers yearbook shows mini skirts and hot pants.

Rich Riddle,

I've gone through a few old bangers- about 35. Some highlights:

1952 Bentley MK VI : This was my first car which I bought in Cambridge, England. I sold it very quickly- in two months- as the insurance cost was as much as the car- $900 /yr in 1974. This is not mine, which was all black:

1937 Riley 12/4 : My Second car: I drove this around Cambridge- though I wasn't supposed to have a car- and parked it in another college's boathouse where I knew the boatman. These were sophisticated for 1937- Aluminum body, twin cam engine, Wilson pre-selector
gearbox- an early form of automatic, and it had automatic jacking- built in jacks.

1952 Morris Minor coupe: My third car. This had a 25HP sidevalve engine from the 1934 Morris. This car went on several 500 mile trips - completely reliable. On one 800 mile trip, I and a close friend slept in the car, you could fold down the rear bench seat and the front seats forward with your feet in the trunk. I eventually also had five other Minors including one of my favorite cars, a 1957 convertible.

Another car I liked a lot were Volvo 122S and I had five of those. Favorites were a 1968 coupe and this 1963 station wagon.

Behind was a 1968 Volvo 145S station wagon, a fantastic one-owner car that I bought from a psychiatrist friend.

The Volvo 145S:

My favorite car of all was a 1957 Jaguar XK140MC:

And this was my perfect car. Reluctantly sold after 22 years.

Also a nice one was a 1928 Packard 443 with a custom convertible coupe body by Dietrich:

I drove this to Pebble Beach a couple of times where I attended the Concours every year for twenty years. Another reluctant sale,...

I had a 1955 Cadillac coupe that I drove as my everyday car in Los Angeles for three years. I bought that car from the estate of the original owner, Murray Cutter, who was an orchestrator in the movies- having orchestrated "Gone with the Wind" for Max Steiner. The car still had a little card with his name under the hood, I suppose to identify the owner to shop mechanics.

My everyday car for 9 years was a 1970 Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 which was a limited production car- the first German muscle car as it was the 300HP engine from the 600 limosuine in the long wheel base 4-door sedan with air suspension. Quite expensive in 1970- $17,000 when a Rolls Silver Shadow cost $19,000. Onassis used to travel with three of these to be semi-inconspicuous and they had an anti-kidnapping feature: pull out a knob and the air suspension would raise the car 4 inches to be able to hop curbs. Plus, the car would do 145MPH. Phil Hill made these famous as he used to race weekend Ferrari owners thorough the canyons in Los Angeles and guess who won? These cars were and are very expensive to work on- I bought mine with $35,000 in repair bill in the glove compartment: a new cylinder head had been $8,600, the air suspension rebuild was $7,700 and the fuel injection pup rebuild was $2,500. As all this was done, this car was completely reliable: in nine years I replaced the timing chain tensioner and one air-spring myself.

1949 Cadillac Series 62 convertible. I think this may have been the best production car ever made in the US- a beautiful design before the bloat era. When I was a kid my father had the fastback coupe version of that car. I went to see one in Santa Barbara, but instead bought a _____1936 Packard coupe from the seller- a big mistake.__ https://www.google.com/search?q=1949+Cadillac&es_sm=93&biw=2048&bih=1084&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CB0QsARqFQoTCM2KtvCegccCFQXOgAodqpoAdQ#tbm=is ch&q=1949+Cadillac+convertible

Rich Riddle,

I've gone through a few old bangers- about 35. Some highlights:

1952 Bentley MK VI : This was my first car which I bought in Cambridge, England. I sold it very quickly- in two months- as the insurance cost was as much as the car- $900 /yr in 1974. This is not the one I had but the same model:
318577
1937 Riley 12/4 : My Second car: I drove this around Cambridge- though I wasn't supposed to have a car- and parked it in another college's boathouse where I knew the boatman. These were sophisticated for 1937- Aluminum body, twin cam engine, Wilson pre-selector
gearbox- an early form of automatic, and it had automatic jacking- built in jacks.

1952 Morris Minor coupe: My third car. This had a 25HP sidevalve engine from the 1934 Morris. This car went on several 500 mile trips - completely reliable. On one 800 mile trip, I and a close friend slept in the car, you could fold down the rear bench seat and the front seats forward with your feet in the trunk. I eventually also had five other Minors including one of my favorite cars, a 1957 convertible.
318573

Another car I liked a lot were Volvo 122S and I had five of those. Favorites were a 1968 coupe and this 1963 station wagon.
318575
Behind was a 1968 Volvo 145S station wagon, a fantastic one-owner car that I bought from a psychiatrist friend.

The Volvo 145S:

318574
My favorite car of all was a 1957 Jaguar XK140MC:

318572 318582
And this was my perfect car. Reluctantly sold after 22 years.

Also a nice one was a 1928 Packard 443 with a custom convertible coupe body by Dietrich:
318571
I drove this to Pebble Beach a couple of times where I attended the Concours every year for twenty years. Another reluctant sale,...

I had a 1955 Cadillac coupe that I drove as my everyday car in Los Angeles for three years. I bought that car from the estate of the original owner, Murray Cutter, who was an orchestrator in the movies- having orchestrated "Gone with the Wind" for Max Steiner. The car still had a little card with his name under the hood, I suppose to identify the owner to shop mechanics.

My everyday car for 9 years was a 1970 Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 which was a limited production car- the first German muscle car as it was the 300HP engine from the 600 limosuine in the long wheel base 4-door sedan with air suspension. Quite expensive in 1970- $17,000 when a Rolls Silver Shadow cost $19,000. Onassis used to travel with three of these to be semi-inconspicuous and they had an anti-kidnapping feature: pull out a knob and the air suspension would raise the car 4 inches to be able to hop curbs. Plus, the car would do 145MPH. Phil Hill made these famous as he used to race weekend Ferrari owners thorough the canyons in Los Angeles and guess who won? These cars were and are very expensive to work on- I bought mine with $35,000 in repair bill in the glove compartment: a new cylinder head had been $8,600, the air suspension rebuild was $7,700 and the fuel injection pup rebuild was $2,500. As all this was done, this car was completely reliable: in nine years I replaced the timing chain tensioner and one air-spring myself.
318578
My everyday car today still with only 72K miles is a 1994 Lincoln MK VIII, another sleeper as these have a Mustang Cobra 4.6Liter DOHC- fast and quiet.
318570
Other cars I had include 10- Mercedes 190SL's including a 1954, number 0046 that was in the very first batch and had the seats from the 300SL roadster. I also had 2- 280SL convertibles.

Cars I wish I'd had:

1. 1957 Jaguar XKSS

318579

Any prewar Bugatti
1949 Cadillac Series 62 convertible. I think this may have been the best production car ever made in the US- a beautiful design before the bloat era. When I was a kid my father had the fastback coupe version of that car. I went to see one in Santa Barbara, but instead bought a _____1936 Packard coupe from the seller- a big mistake.__ https://www.google.com/search?q=1949+Cadillac&es_sm=93&biw=2048&bih=1084&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CB0QsARqFQoTCM2KtvCegccCFQXOgAodqpoAdQ#tbm=is ch&q=1949+Cadillac+convertible

It wasn't a classic when I owned it, but my first car was a franken-made Mustang Mach I - a 1969 chassis and frame with 1970 front quarters, grill, and hood, and a 350 Windsor engine from a '71 Galaxie. Green with red and gray primer, it was quite a site. But at 16 years of age it was still pretty cool for a first car.

If I could afford the luxury of a classic muscle car, it would be the 1972 Mach I.

[paul cottingham]

All i have owned was two cutlasses, and 68, and a 69. I wound up canabilizing the 69 for the 68. When i finally sold the 68 i had added headers (a total bugger to find, took months) an electronic MSD ignition sytem, a massive quadraject carb, and a few other goodies. It still looked stock, she was a real sleeper.

Still miss that car.

[Kev Williams]

It would be nice to have a few of my old cars back-

First car was my folk's '61 Fairlane 500 2-door post. 292 Y-block, 3 in the tree, nothing special except that my folks bought it new, this was day one...
318584

Second car was a '67 Dodge Coronet R/T, 440 Magnum, auto...
this isn't it, but it was identical to it (except mine had way bigger tires!)
318580

Third car was a '70 Dodge Coronet R/T, 440 six-pac, slapstick 4-speed, 4:10 gears-- I actually removed the 3-2's and put on an Offy/Carter dual-quad setup. REALLY woke it up!
this is the only pic I have of it, a scan of a beat up polaroid:
318581

Those 2 cars could be half my retirement plan today...

My 4th car was a $50 1963 Dodge Lancer. Not a bit classic, but never failed to get me where I was going for over a year..

Then I picked up a 1970 Mustang Mach I, 351C, 4-speed, what a rattletrap. It was pretty beat back then, but what I wouldn't give to have it back now!

Next up was a 1963 Nova SS, straight 6 and a powerglide. Bought it from my boss in '75 for $500, it was in perfect condition except the paint. My neighbor painted it for me for $50.
This was the absolute most gutless car I ever owned. When I got me a high-tech watch with a built-in stopwatch, I did a 0-60 speed test. Took exactly 24 seconds to get to FIFTY,
where I had to slow down for a stop sign... Gutless as it was, it was always easy on the eyes. No pics of these cars. :(

After a couple of family type cars, one being a $200 '67 Lincoln suicide-door car (LOVED that thing) I picked up a '56 Ford F-100 pickup, had a cop-car 390 and a C6 in it. Other than you couldn't steer it, it was a ball to drive! Got it half restored then got married a second time... nuff said ;) - I have pics somewhere, need to scan 'em.

Around 1982 I bought a '78 Firebird from my cousin. No frills, never took a pic of it...

A little later I traded it straight across for a 1954 Ford Victoria, 2-door hardtop. Had the 256(?) V-8, the precursor to the 312 and 292, a leaky Ford-o-matic trans, power steering and power windows even.
It was a bondo car that needed a resto bad, which I didn't have time or money for. Sold it. No pics.

in December of '83 I picked up a brand new Buick Regal T-type, first SFI-V6 sold in Utah. I wanted a Grand National but none were here yet! I still own this car, if only it didn't need a complete resto now...
this was after it's new paintjob, circa 1995...
318588

Around 1988 I bought an '82 Camaro from a friend, can't find a pic. 305 V8 plainjane, had it about a year...

After marrying my current wife in '91, for her 40th birthday (1995) she wanted a Mustang GT Convertible. So I got her this '89...
318593

A couple of years later, I bought this '84 Corvette from her 2nd ex of all people. Was a bit haggard, needed work but was fun to drive. I ended up trading it straight across for a paintjob for the white Mustang!
318594

After that, I pretty much didn't buy cars. Kept the Buick for years, then starting driving our 2002 F-250 work truck.

I did pick up a '96 Lincoln in '03, sleeper hot rod these things are! One of our kids still has this car.
318595

But last January, a little early for the wife's 60th birthday, she said she wanted a Mustang GT Convertible.. OK!
I found her a negative-image (sorta) of her first one! 2013 Coyote 5.0, 6-speed auto, 420hp... trying to stay out of trouble with this one, TOO much fun to drive!
318596



(cont) :)

[Kev Williams]

--and we still have the '89 20 years later...
318597318598

Alas, the '89 is for sale, as much fun as 2 of 'em are, we don't need 2 of 'em!

;)

My friend's parents had one, it had the smoothest ride of any car I've ever been in. It felt like the thing was levitating or something, no bumps were transmitted to the passengers.

[Shawn Pixley]

Had - '66 Spitfire and '60 Austin Healey 3000.

Would like: BMW Alpina, Deusenburg (one of the depression dreamboats), Bugatti (Yeah, dream on), Toyota 2000, or a Aston Martin DB5. Realistically, I want a good modern reliable sports car (Miata's don't count).

Generally I like sports cars over muscle cars. My neighbor has a '67 Mustang California Special. Another neighbor just restored a Deaux Cheveau. A third friend swears by Morris Minors.

[Mike Chance in Iowa]

A third friend swears by Morris Minors.

I can't fault your friend for that. :cool: Then again, you can't get me to part with my CJ5.

My wish list. Any classic or rare vehicle up to the mid-50's will probably suit me. The older the better. All those awesome curves, chrome and grilles. I would take some 60's muscle cars too!

[Rich Riddle]

The wife is honing in on her next preference, a 1955 - 1957 Ford Thunderbird. It's fortunate she likes old things. Any of you have any experience with this type of car? The prices seem to mostly fall between $25K - $35K. Not sure about the odd sized engines and getting replacement parts.

[DOUG ANGEL]

I started out with a 1956 Ford sedan, can't remember the model, but it was big and slow. Then a mid sixties Chrysler 300, (in 1970) it was big, luxurious, and wallowed like a pig on the road, loved it! Next came a 1967 Triumph Spitfire 1100 CCs of fun.
1966 Austin Healy Mk III, fun but dangerous suspension at high speed.
1971 Fiat Sport Coupe, same running gear and suspension as the Fiat 124 roadster, another fun car.
1971 Alfa Romeo Spyder 1750 fuel injected roadster, serious sports car, but mechanical knowledge and patience required. It's a money pit! That's where the love hate relationship of all Alfa owners comes from. Lots of smiles that turn into frowns.
1972 Porsche 914, Fun car, DON'T buy one. Electrical and mechanical NIGHTMARE, also prone to rust.
1992 Nissan Sentra SER, perfect sports coupe, fairly fast and very reliable.
1998 Saturn Sky Redline. I love this car 1)2 liter turbocharged engine, 2) because it's made in the USA 3) it is a real sports car 3, not some lead sled re-badged by marketing) 4)not too expensive 5) great styling, but cramped inside.
Muscle cars go fast in a straight line, none of my cars could beat even the slowest in a drag race, twisty bits however......

I remember looking at a 56 T bird on a Ford dealers lot. It was turquoise in color and looked like it just came off the showroom. They were asking $3600.00 for it. [not 36K 3600] Of course this was in 1967 and I was 17 years old.
I thought they were asking too much for it, heck you could buy a brand new Mustang for around 10K less. If I only knew then what I know now........

[Rick Potter]

Rich Riddle.........This afternoon, I bought another '55 T-Bird. I dropped my wife at the airport to take a trip to Germany, and on the way home I called about a T-Bird that was available, and close to the airport. I bought it, she doesn't know, and I am blaming you for the whole thing.

You'd better find cover before she gets home.

After selling 'RatBird', my junkyard escapee '55 Bird with a Chebby motor, I found myself missing it more than I thought. I showed her a pic of the one for sale last night as she was packing to go, she took a glance and gave me a very non committal 'that's nice', then went to bed. That was all the push I needed. Now I need to sell my '48 Jeepster to make room.

I had a third one, way back in the '60s. Paid about $400 for it, and it needed everything. Total rebuild later, sold it for $1050.

[Stew Hagerty]

Mine was a '68 Z28. Original 302 and "Rock Crusher" 4 speed. Of course I had to "tinker". As in rebuild the engine 3 times in order to make some... improvements.

That car was FAST.

This is me and my brother somewhere in the mid '80s:

318837


I also had this Superbird for a brief period. I knew a guy that wanted one, and how much he was willing to pay for one. I ran across this Bird while at a show and the guy wanted quite a bit less than that amount that my friend was willing to pay. So I bought it. Fixed the little bit that was wrong (just a couple of oil leaks), called my friend and made his day. Mine too because of what I made off it.

Just to ensure a smooth home life you can ship the car to us and it will be placed in a nice garage. I can send pictures from time to time of the car if you need proof it's still here. Anything to help a woodworker.

[Rick Potter]

Thanks Rich, it would be better if you shipped me the garage.

Seriously, if you have questions about them, PM me. I am fairly familiar with them.

Oh... My grandpa always talked about the old (he didn't remember the year) Auburn Boat-tail Speedster that his dad had in the barn. Unfortunately it was sold as part of his estate.

I turned 11.15@117 on pump gas, normally aspirated.

The classic car of my dream would be:
1967 Ford Shelby mustang GT 500:

Brian, nice ride. Like your woodworking, your attention to detail was evident here as well.

We have a '69 Camaro on a rotisserie now with the parts stashed in every part of what used to be called my woodshop . . . . . hope to be done by end of year.

[Brian Holcombe]

Thanks Patrick! Enjoy it, I had a great experience building my car.

I sold it to a fellow in Australia who enjoys driving it.

Brian,

That is a pretty serious looking car. You did a super clean job on it. Awesome.

I have always lusted after a 60's model Series 62 Cadillac convertible. If money were no object and I could swing for the fences - 1959 Eldorado Baritz convertible.

I would like to have a '73 Super Beetle again. Texas Yellow. Not like the high performance cars youse guys have had but it sure was a fun deathtrap to drive!

On a sadder note, one of my wife's old roommates married a Mustang nut. This last weekend the family (Husband, wife and two daughters) were riding in his fully restored '66 convertible when a car made a left in front of them. They were all pretty banged up, about 25 stitches for the four of them but luckily nothing life threatening.

The Mustang was totaled. It was fully insured but still all the time that he spent working on the car...
He's looking for another one. :cool:

Thanks Rick!

First car was a 55 Ford stick 6. Used to blow off all those 55 Chevy 283s. More classic; 1960 Triumph TR-3A. Traded that in for a 66 TR-4A when my first child was on the way. Had a bright yellow with black trim 77 Datsun 280Z. Current car is a 2015 Subaru Forester.

THis is the one I've always wanted. Lotus 7, with the livery identical to the one McGoohan drove in The Prisoner.

Except, I'd take the modern Caterham 7, with the wider body and a honking engine. Same colors though....

Test drove one a few years back. Sitting in the driver's seat, I could palm the asphalt.

I drove a '69 Pontiac Firebird throughout high school. I always wanted a convertible of the same year.

I love all the classic muscle cars but am partial to Pontiac so the Firebirds and the GTOs are pretty sweet and I'd love to own any of them. Funny, but I have the money for such things but no time or space for such things. When I was young, I had plenty of time and space was the folk's house...but no money. :)

Perhaps the rarest of the rare would be a 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am CONVERTIBLE. They only made 8 of them and I think last I knew, 7 were accounted for.

[Brian Holcombe]

I share that sentiment Chris, as much as I enjoyed building my car I was happy to see it get into the hands of someone who was more able to accommodate it. If I ever build another it will be a driver, without a doubt.

Finally took some pics of the Jeepster. It's a '48 with a Chevy 327 and Powerglide. Had to take the pics to put it up on CL. No place to keep it now that I got the '55 T-Bird. I will try for pics with it later.

In the background of pic 2, behind the tree, is a stealth view of my shop :) .

Nice cars, fellas. I may not beat any of you in quality, but I think I've got the quantity. My baby is my '68 Shelby GT-350 convertible. One of only 412 built with A/C. Bought that car 30, or so, years ago and haven't put much more than 1,000 miles on her. Also have a '55 Chevy 210, '55 Ford F1, '64 Buick Special, and have a deposit on a '67 Pontiac Lemans ragtop. The missus is trying to convince me to invest in a late model Shelby but the new ones just don't give me the warm, fuzzy feelings. I love old cars and old woodworking machinery.

[Alan Hick]

The only "classic" car I've ever lusted after is the 1935-36 Auburn boat tail speedster. I'd love to own one for about a month. After that, I'd spend way too much time worrying about it and it wouldn't be fun anymore. Unless of course we moved to a town in the southwest with good roads and a population of about 300 people. Then I'd be tempted to keep it.

[Rick Potter]

Another exciting story. About 10 years back, I bought a nice '66 Corvair convertible from my 80 something Aunt. She owned it for over 30 years. It was the standard two carb motor with Powerglide. I cleaned it up, fixed a few things and gave it to my then 17 year old granddaughter. She drove it about six months, and gave it back when she was tired of it. I kept it for a short time, and it got lots of comments. Amazing how many people had no idea what it was.

Anyway, here is the exciting part. Sitting at a stoplight next to the cheapest Kia (Rio?) I gunned the motor a couple times and we took off when the light changed. The lady driving the Kia shut me down so bad, it was a real bummer.

Oh, yeah......the worst part.....I don't think she had any idea I was racing her. That was 10 years ago, and it still bothers me :mad: .

Don't miss that car one little bit.
