Looking back - wish I still had this '57 Bel Air - after this picture I put in a new 327 / 375 complete with the '57 Fuel Injection - what a sweetheart of a car - speaking of sweethearts maybe I should have kept Dolly too ...but I was way too young for marriage and wanted nothing but cars ............And as we now know women don't wait .

Just when you think you've seen it all ----------- late this afternoon I came home and found a " poison pen " note in my mailbox - just a note , no signature as you'll see .Even at Christmas time folks have a sense of humor -- and at my expense as usual . What next ? ? ?

For those of you who don't get it read the above post about my favorite car ........

1968 Chevelle bench seat 4 speed. Bought at GMAC repo auction in the summer of 1968. Found out after buying it that the original owner was stuck paying off the original note which was way more that what I paid. Found out after buying that car was a faactory sort or rare. 325-325 hp, 12 bolt posi bench seat Malibu. was redd so had to paint beloww the side chrome, the rear insert, and black out the grille like an SS. Would flat outrun many a 396 ss, but then they all figured that was what it was anyway. Kept it until the rear wheel wells rusted out and the rear window sssstarted rusting out. Should have kept it and "restored" it.

1963 Biscayne, Z11, aluminum car. I only had it a short time before being drafted into the Army. Obviously, 2 door, radio and heater delete. I broke the engine (still have the carbs around here somewhere). Put in a 327, with the 4 speed and 4.56 rear end. Sold it for $1,000 in 1966.

That 327/325 was a neat piece. It had the same long block as the 327/350 of 66-67,and was a 4 speed only motor. It definitely with some tuning hold its own,the only difference between the 350 horse was the #803 intake and the quadrajet. It had 2.02/1.60 valves, 11.00 compression, the 151 camshaft, and only needed a good set of headers and a dyno tune to really bring it out. Yeah, shoulda kept it.

When I first got married I had a Blue 1970 GTO Judge (RAIII Automatic). I sold it to help finance our house......

It's a toss up between my 1969 Ford Cobra Torino, 428 CJ bucket seat formal roof, or my 1965 mustang that I bought from 2nd owner that had about 100 street miles on it in its whole life. I ran brackets with it in the early 80s, and sold it for about $2500 back then.

The Torino was sold to a friend of my brother's who still has it to this day.

It was a legit Shelby; I can still rattle off the vin# and unit #. Sigh.....:o

Found a better picture.
