For some reason this car I want.

For some reason this car also I want.  I know it's not as racy as some of the muscle cars, but I always liked how it looks.  (Go ahead, say it - no accounting for tastes.)

Very good taste, my friend. 1967 Mustang. Not quite as popular as the '64-66 Mustangs they resemble, they are, if I recall correctly, a little larger overall. Still good parts availability and they are becoming more popular. A car you could buy, drive and maintain for ten years, and sell for the same money you paid, without losing a penny.

I've yet to own this bodystyle 'vette. Quite truthfully, they are fairly low powered, rough as a buckboard, and not well finished, as a rule. And that was when they were new..... still, to me, it is one of the prettiest bodystyles Corvette produced. This one is a 1974-1977 model.

A 1954 model placed on a newer- I think the man said Blazer- chassis, this truck was beautiful. Just the thing for the man who likes a old truck that can still get in the mud. It was NOT for sale. I know, because my uncle tried to buy it.

I THINK this is a '32 Ford truck. I like it, but it is chopped a little much for my taste, and is a little TOO low. Reason I say that, the seats in it were made into the floor of the truck, kinda "scooped" down below the floor. If they hit a piece of steel in the roadway just right, the driver and passenger will be singing tenor and probably will never have kids.  They butt ain't 8 inches from the roadway when they ridin' in this.....

This '66 Chevy was built by a good friend of mine who has money and a fascination with all vehicles Chevrolet made in '66. At one time, he owned every bodystyle Chevrolet made that year except the Corvette. I think he still does, and is looking for the 'vette.
This truck was frame off restored and upgraded. Runs a 454/auto, has air, disc brakes, all the bells and whistles. You could eat off of the frame, it is that clean. He was willing to sell it for $18.5. Sounds high, until you realize it is basically a brand new truck for half the price of a new one, and if cared for, it WON'T depreciate..

For some reason this car also I want.  I know it's not as racy as some of the muscle cars, but I always liked how it looks.  (Go ahead, say it - no accounting for tastes.)

Actually- I agree. Maybe not what I'd choose if I were given a choice of anything there- that would be a '30's Packard, Duesenberg, ect- but a cool little car. I'd lose the granny hubcaps and put some chrome reverse wheels on it, and enjoy it. Not bad priced either.
