It's quite depressing watching american mowies these days. Either they drive a Volvo or a Saab....Whatta F...?

What ever happened to good old american muscle???


Hi Trond,
I was being facetious when I said "non-exotic and sedate". Although I love a fine automobile from any country, I prefer the 50's - 70's American muscle - especially the mid-year Vettes (63-67). Unfortunately they don't make them anymore.
When the picture problem is fixed, I'll post some pictures of my '63 Impala Super Sport 409.

The NCCC used to hold a concours(sp?) event at the Strohs Brewery in Detroit, Michigan. For fun, I entered one time. Note the original window sticker. IIRC, base price was $4252. Big bucks in 1963.
The car was built in January of 1963.
BTW, those are not the correct tires shown in this set of pictures. I have other better pictures that are still missing.

I would love an old classic VW or RS2000 like the one listed earlier on this thread.

As for driving on the left, it is actually the correct side of the road to drive on and im going to tell you why.

In the times of Dick turpin and the other great highway robbers they always used to hold the stage coaches up from the left hand side of the road. Basically the reason that they did this was so they could pull their gun with their right hand.

Very nice. Smile

Impala's has allways been amongst my favorites.

I used to drive my `65 all year thru, even in the winter with lots of snow. Good heater by the way.

Trond.

Anyone like Pontiacs? '67 Tempest that Dad bought new in '66. Ordered it through the BX in England when we were transfered from there to Amarillo TX. Picked it up in New York City after flying to McQuire AFB in NJ and drove it to CA to see his parents and then to TX.

Cory, nice cars. Is the T/A a 6.6 Liter or T/A 6.6?
Imrobil, sweet looking Tempest. You don't see the Rally I's that often. I looked for a set for my 67 Firebird back in the 80's but never found any.

Hey DAN46 - GREAT 1950 Lincoln. You see a lot of Fords and Mercs, but not many Lincolns. The last one I saw was restored and painted a bright yellow, and driven daily as a taxi in Ogden, Utah. (1995)

ESU, very nice cars! There is just something I've always liked about the '82 Corvettes and I especially like that color! In the past, I had a both a '76 & '77 and was always looking for an '82. It was definitely an end to an era of Corvettes. Finally they are getting some design back into them. Your TA also brings back memories of my two, a brown/gold and black/gold, examples I once had. Would like to have one again, although the good ones are becoming sought after and rather pricey. Now kick myself for not buying the earlier '73 with the 455 back in the day.


Denny, sweet '63 Vette! Currently I have a '67 that I've been slowly bringing back to a solid period correct original. Nothing drastic, just in need of a a little this and that but it brings a smile to my face every time I fire it up! Nothing like it!

Dave, is your '67 a big block? Nothing sounds more beautiful than a 427 with a hi-lift cam and solid lifters - especially when hooked up to a set of factory side pipes. Those side pipes will burn the h e l l out of your ankles, but they sure sound purty!!

Hi Denny, I wish that was the case but no I didn't get that lucky. Mine is the 327/350 and no side pipes. That will have to part of the next one, yeah right!

Thanks Cory,
Actually I have had it posted on the P.38 site for over four years. And Jan Still's site, and Gunboards, and Wehrmacht Awards, and......
Who knows, maybe someday.

Here's something a little different for the car buffs on this forum. Chevy has always provided parade cars for NASCAR races but is no longer able to do so. They asked my Corvette Club if we could help and we came up with 43 roadsters ranging from 1957 to 2009. Here's a picture of me in my 89 on the parade lap with driver Tony Raines at PIR a couple of weeks ago. We did one lap and dropped the driver off at his car in the pits. Believe me it was a hoot and the eye candy in the pits alone was worth it! This worked out so well that PIR is planning on doing this at future races. I can now also honestly state that even with a professional racer aboard I prefer to do the driving! Big Grin Big Grin

Now you are a historical guy Jim! Just think about this...in 5 more years that '89 Corvette will be 25 and considered an antique. Time flies for those with a love of fine performance automobiles. There is an old car collector quote about old cars and the cost of them, regarding convertibles I love. Here it is... "When the top goes down, the price goes up".

We had a 2 door 2003 Jeep Rubicon. It fit two nicely, rode like a lumber wagon and had too aggressive tires for the occasional drive we only put 10,000 miles on it in 6 years. now we have grandkids out the wazoo and need room for them, dogs and groceries..so we traded for this last week. You can be sure it won't be easy to lose in a parking lot!

It rides a LOT better too!

My insurance company already considers it an antique. My annual premium is $160 total with the understanding that I keep the mileage under 1000 per year. The odometer just turned 60,000. I will be applying for Bloomington "Survivor" status when it turns 25 as everything, including the paint, is original.
BTW: That's certainly an "Eyecatcher" you have there!! Wink

For a silly Japanese car, those 2000GTs are gorgeous! Wink You ought to buy one Pat, sit it in your showroom. I'm sure it would be a great draw!

The '70 Torino is currently in pieces getting a new paint job. I'll post some pics once it's in one piece again.

An impressive engine, for sure, but is it all original parts and never messed with?

Or can it be a parts car? With mismatched dates and manufacturers? Big Grin Big Grin
