At 62 I’m an old guy, I guess. Been into street stuff since I was fifteen. This past year I’ve had serious respiratory problems so I can’t do so much any more but I still love Detroit iron. That’s why I’m selling my 65 Comet right now (It’s the subject of a recent thread on The HAMB). That will leave me with a 468 CID ’69 Vette convert and a couple of grocery getters.

I’ve been looking for a mostly finished daily driver to replace one of the ordinary cars. A month ago I missed (by a day) getting a 33 Vicky, all plastic, air, steering, brake, etc. A genuine drive-it-every-day rod. I’ll keep looking.

Here is a link to slide show that details were I spent what should have been my retirement nest egg.

I’m glad to be here. I know I’ll learn and hope I can give some.

Wow Jim, that was a well spent nest egg. I can,t believe you had all those cool cars at one time or another. Welcome. I am also a newbie here. Great forum. Still trying to figure out the posting thing.

Welcome!! I'm a St.Louis boy also. Let me know by pm what town your in. We've probably passed each other at a car show or swap meet at one time or another. Great to have you aboard.
