Just wanted to post the rest of the vintage classified ads from the batch I had sitting on my desktop. This last group has 2 great race cars including Ike Iacono's GMC straight 6 dragster now owned by Pat Ganahl and featered in TRJ #44 in bare metal....

Just received an email this AM of these and several others. Hugh Tucker's Ventura Motors car was also in the mix. Hugh Jr., aka Ventura Motors, needs to get his butt in gear and tell us the story of that car and how they brought it back to life from a chicken coop ornament.

My fantasy pick for today is the feature track nose roadster, will probably store it in California or Tejas for the winter. Looking forward to spring!! ~sololobo~

My fantasy pick for today would be the Tall T. Me fitting inside a T Coupe would also have to be part of that fantasy.

The Dick Flint roadster will do me, for two five! Where's that machine Jay?

I agree on the tall T coupes. I have always liked that look. Too bad a lot of guys seem yield to pressure and chop the hell out of them. I'll never understand taking a car that you can see out of and cutting it until you're peeping out of the windshield at stop lights.

Being from the northeast, I think the 40 convertible at $500 is the one for me. I know this is a dream sequence, but that was good money back then.

That little 32 with the Buick in it would be my choice. You take a personal check?

WOW!!!!! I Love them all but the Dick Flint 29 has to be my favorite although I had a really nice tall t Body at one time.
