Re: Not This Sh*t Again...
I'm not sure it's my absolute favorite but a 63/65 Riv is in my top five of "I want one bad" list of cars. I should have bought a nice one when they were affordable and available and kept it.
Great road cars for jumping in and making a run to Joplin for the HAMB drags though.

Re: Not This Sh*t Again...
"What’s yours? What’s the one car that you always find your mind going back to?"
I will be the first (of I am sure many) to say the 1932 Ford, specifically a roadster.

Re: Not This Sh*t Again...
My 1968 Chevelle. I wreaked it on Jan 3 this year. Hopefully I'll be putting the body on the new frame this week.

Re: Not This Sh*t Again...
You bastards need a rule refresh... The cut-off for the HAMB is 1965.

Re: Not This Sh*t Again...
I started my driving life in a '49 Merc...Dad had two, one a four door the other a convert, with skirts, nosed, decked, whitewalls and lowered...however, I've never lusted after a Merc since then. Then I got a '50 Stude Starlight coop...never wanted another of them. Then a '59 Chevy...just another car...then a '64 Impala...nope, don't need another...then a '57 Chevy...had 30 of 'em at one time, don't desire another...then...well, let's just say that the current one ('55 Caddy) is the one I lust after...and can drive it anytime I want to.

Re: Not This Sh*t Again...
Yes, Ryan....one of the coolest cars on the planet...right from the factory.
I had (sob) a beautiful '65 Rivey. Absolutely mint. Silver exterior, black interior, SS Cragars w/lettered wide ovals. The nicest car I ever owned. I won't tell you what happened to it because it's now to embarassing a tale. I don't think I even have a picture of it. I did shoot some old super 8mm film back in the day.

Ryan, remember that 65 I took pictures for you?? I too love these years ever since the model came out and I as a 12 yr old built it... Oh and hi by the way. Been busy with day to day routines and miss the banter,
