    1st car an Orange Datsun B210 4 cyl econo car . It once did 70 MPH , But that was down hill on a windy day. I later had to reach down to Un-stick the throttle pedal from the floor. It was 4 colors counting the rust..... Dream car , 1965 427 Cobra, Nothing but an engine,gas tank, and 2 seats on a set of wheels!

    My dream cars.
    I'd rather have the '59 El Dorado package, but this one does the job. Red is nice, but black is mandatory.

    ...I sure wish the split windows had this many horses.
    You gotta have the 427!!!

    My 1st car was a 1972 'vette.

    My dream car was a 1972 HD Sportster (which I also got).

    Reality beats dreams hands down!!

    First car was a '36 Ford 5 window coupe. No I didn't get it new.

    Dream cars as follows, in no particular order.

    AustinHealy.jpg
    '56 Austin-Healey 100-M. Last of the 4 cylinder models that was able to reach 100mph. Had one. Traded it on a '58 Thundebird. KICK ME! KICK ME!

    250gto.jpg
    '62 Ferrari 250 GTO. Friend had one and I got to do one lap in it at a track. Fell in love with it. Had a chance to buy one in '69 for $4,000. Needed about another $4,000 to get it running though.
    KICK ME! KICK ME! (FYI..that was more than I made in a year.)

    Just too cool and a "kick *" machine.

    My first car was a '68 Ford Torino.
    My dream is to retire in 10 years
    and not have to buy another
    rust bucket. Fat chance on both
    when the war Hero gets in.
    Hope to high heaven he doesn't.
