"1962 Oldsmobile F85 Cutlass"

Loved early sixty Oldsmobiles !!! Great dashes and steering wheels. My 64 had the Wonder bar radio. 394 engine parts became difficult to get.

I've got a new choice for me:

I'd like my buddy to have his Ford GT from several weeks ago to replace how it is now.  :(


My uncle has a special built GT40,on the door sills there’s a placard that says built by Ford for… and my uncles name. He was a big wig at Fords and when he retired they presented him with the car.

It’s done in white with the blue stripes just like the old factory racers.


  When he came to my Dad’s funeral he was driving a Porsche SUV,when I asked about it he said it was the first car he bought in years then asked if I wanted to take it for a spin which I gladly took him up on,when the turbos kicked in it almost scared me!

I'd want my 1990 Toyota 4x4 back.
Mine was black. Bought it in Pocatello Idaho for $12,500 brand new. Had it nineteen years and drove it 199,200 miles before the engine blew. That was the best vehicle I've ever had and probably will ever have. Oh man, the times we had. It was a great little truck.

The car I wish I had never let go was a 78 Datsun 280Z 2+2. Fast untra reliable and just fun to drive but crappy paint. Drove it for 99,900 miles.

A couple of years ago we sold my wife's car that she had gotten new and kept it all these years garaged.  A 1979 Datsun 280ZX.  An anniversary edition... Black with gold trim exterior and tan interior.  The car was too small for me but she loved it

The only problem with a zx is speaker placement.   
The left front speaker is in the center of the dash so only the passenger hears Barry White in full splendor.

I was fortunate my classic car came with the Trunk Monkey.

The car I had in high school.  1977 Cutlass Salon. 

I've had two vehicles in my life that just 'fit' me and I knew from the moment I sat in them I could make it do anything I wanted it to do.  That one and a 2000 Mustang convertible. 

If I ever win the lottery a 77 rebuilt from the ground up with modern electronics will be at the top of the list for buys.

My 1989 truck burned while I charged the battery to get it inspected.   
Likely fixing it soon.
