Just a few for me. I only like the real cars of the 60's, 70's and 80's. I love the 'Cuda, Corvette, and the Z28 and the Porsche 911S. Here are the ones I owned and wish I still had them. I sold the Vette to buy our first house in 1989. My wife love to drive the Vette. It was the fastest car I have ever owned. I am trying to find a photo or two of my 911S. i had it in storage for awhile was I was in the Navy and I had to take it to the insurance agent near my house to get it insured. It was a German import I bought from Germany in early 1982 with 3,000 original km and 245 rwh. It weighed in at 2,100 lbs dry (race version that was barley street legal). No real back seat, it was stripped down and had no a/c. Top speed was right at 190 with U.S. gears. Photos of that coming soon (got to find them).

Here are some of my best crazy rides I have ever owned:

My 87 Corvette with a real 436 rwh 205 mph (proven)





1986 Mustang at the races in 1987 a true 386 rwh Hot cam, balanced/blueprinted and lowered. Headman headers custom exhaust all the way back. A true 190 mph car geard for top speed (not 1/4 racing)



1986 Mustang in One Lap of Florida Road Race 1987



83 Z28 modified motor lowered and fast 178 mph



83 Z28 in San Diago waiting to go back to Florida



My 68 'Cuda Don Garlits Shop built hipo 273 motor with 398 rwh 11.2 sec 1/4 mile with street legal M/T tires (50 series at the rear)



Tricked out motor (state of the art back in the mid 70's

The Mid 60's Chevelle's, I just LOVE that grill-headlamp design of these models.
