Gone but not forgotten
« on: January 07, 2013, 03:51:09 PM »
Almost everyone has pictures of cars that they no longer own. Some you were glad to be rid of and others you wish you still had but either we all enjoy going back and looking at them. Post them up here.I'll start with some that I wish I still had.

Hemi Powered 39




57 with a 427 L88




 !970 Vette 454



 61 Vette with a 427 Crammed in



55 with a 301 small block

Looks like you never had a car with more than 2 doors!  That 57 reminds me of my 2dr HT 210 model - my first car.

Looking at your pics makes bring up my very routine thought "if I only knew what cars to save back then"! 

But then the question comes up..."what cars should I save now".  Just can't think of any common car made in the last 10 years that will have any significant interest in 40 plus years. Yes, the vettes, mustangs, camaros...but they aren't really common especially when they cost 50k plus.

Back then you could determine the make of a car 1/4 mile away...now with the "wind tunnel shapes"...I need to get within 5 feet & read the badges.

Sadly. I wasn't into cameras as as much as power shifting back then so I don't have too many pictures to show for lost times. But here are a few

35 stude suicide door coupe
65 plymouth sattelite 426 wedge 4 speed
36 chevy truck 350 engine turbo 400 trans

Around 1988. Just had my wheels painted so the rings & caps were still off.

Here's a couple. My 70 Nova when I got out of college and my 66 Chevy II SS.
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

The nova turned a best of 12.24 @ 112 at New England Dragway. I stopped racing the bikes in 84.  It was fun while it lasted but then the kids came along.
