I'm 71 I'm pretty sure they had those back in my day too.🤣🤣
I had window vents on my 1969 Nassau Blue El Camino. The truck was broken into by prying on the back edge of the vent window and stripping the regulator gears. A 38 Smith and Wesson 5 shot detective special was stolen out of the glove box resulting in me filing a police report. No good deed goes unpunished. I left the El Camino in the dealership parking lot so I could deliver a service customer's car. I hitched a ride with a mechanic the next morning to discover the vehicle damage.

My 1st. 65 ford fairlane, nice stang you had, pic of my 67 stang also. Love the old cars
I don't care much for old cars.
If someone walked up to me and said I will give you a restored 70 Mustang, Camaro, Challenger or a 2024 Mustang, Camaro or Challenger.
Stipulation being. I could not resell it. I had to drive it and if I didn't want it.
I had to give it back. I would take the 2024's every day of the week.
I don't want to have to screw around with carburetors, spark plugs, crack distributor caps, rotors, burnt points, setting timing or dwell.

Man all you guys are old. :crackup:
Get off our lawns!


I would take the 2024's every day of the week.
*sigh*

It happens in the best of families . . .

🤭

I really don't understand this notion that I guy can get buy with a single classic car.

I mean, really, you need a 70s convertible, a roadster, a convertible pony car, a 50s convertible, something from the 20s, and maybe a bit of brass to keep the latter company.

Oh, yeah, and a wife who doesn't find this insane!

Mine reacts to my coming home with something else by wanting to go somewhere with a valet!
