    I bought a '59 Impala convertible when I was 15. It was supposed to be a father and son project but Dad never helped and it sat in his garage while I went off to the Navy and then moved to Seattle. He finally got tired of storing it and sold it for about 5 times what we paid for it.

    This one is currently bid up to $7100. Mine was 10 times better. I'll never afford another one.

    Been digging through the attic trying to find pics of my '63 Ford F100 short stepside. It had a 292 Y block when I got it but after it slung a rod it wound up with a 289 Hi Po that a friend did a little more "Hi Po" to. :D

    Unfortunately, I ran out of work,money and luck all at the same time and reluctantly had to sell it. I will always miss that old truck,we had some great times...

    I used to think it was the (real) 289 Mk II Cobra I sold in the 1970's but nowadays there are so many replicas it is largely irrelevant. I have chosen carefully my keepers and intend to enjoy them to the full.

    chop&drop, those are both great but that Corvette is primo...

    I cant seem to get a photo inserted, but my answer would be my 70 Corvette 2 top roadster. Yellow also... :)
