I am fortune enough to grow up during the muscle car era. My first car my dad bought me was 1956 Chevy 210, he bought it for $75 bucks because the person that sold it thought it had a blown motor but just a bad timing gear. I drove it for about a year and a half till I blew up to motor and sold it. Next I bought a 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 I drove this through high school. I still own it but need to restore. Since that time I picked up a 1966 F100 which I am the second owner. Now that I older I decided that I am done with new cars so I bought myself a 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible for my daily driver. I forgot how much fun it was to drive a classic car.
Welcome John. Where in NorCal are you from? I lived in Sonoma County for 36 years prior to relocating recently to AZ. Mike T - Prescott AZ
