Cars we will never see again.

My first was a 67 El Camino SS396 . Id love to have that one again . Then I restored two cars like these for play .
The pictures are ones like I had in the same colors .I can't believe I cannot find pictures of mine .
The red and yellow one were so fast they scared that crap outta me .Of course they were not stock anymore . The Vette was turbo'd and the 911 have 3 webber ID40's

Nice cars Al! :)

I'm not technically proficient enough to know what 3 webber ID40's are, but if it went fast enough to scare ya, that has to be something really good! That's a car I've never driven, a Vette, darn shame!

The new ones are not anything like the old ones were . The last year I owned was a 1975 . It was nice but what a change from a 1961 . The ZR's are beautiful but I would not want one . My last sports car was a 1974 450 SL Mercedes that I sold to a friend a few years ago . I just never drove it anymore .
Now I got a 1931 Ford Pickup that looks like I will buy from my Fathers estate . Its more my speed now . :biggrin:

I agree, the newer models are a far cry from the models of the 1960's. My neighbor has a 1968/69 Mustang. It's solid as a rock. When I drove my girlfriends' 2004, it just seemed like any current model vehicle. There was nothing special about the performance or the feel.

That's a great truck Al! :) Did he restore it? You? Did he buy it that in that condition?
 
Dad owned it for years and I did a little work on it but it runs like new . I did do the new paint job and the red pinstriping about 7 years ago for him .
Since Dad passed away it has been stored in the shop .

It's in great shape Al. I've never ridden in or driven a car of that vintage. How do they handle? Are they capable of 55 mph, if you needed to take it on the highway?

Oh it handles great . Yes it will do 55 . Dad use to live right off the main highway and would take it to town 6 miles away , all the time in the summer months

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was even a consideration. I can't recall seeing one on the highway in a long time. I see cars of many other eras there, but not one of that year or older.

Very cool! :)
