Anyone Got a Classic Car?

[Iwannashoot]

Dang Basshappy my dad bought one exactly like that in '79 . One year old with 12k miles on it. We drove it from Florida to Alaska that summer pulling a pop-up camper. Got to drive it to highschool most days my senior year when he wasn't using it. Wish I had it now.

Nice ride!

I’m slowly working on my 66 F100 I’m fixing up to be a patina shop truck . Key word is slowly. I’ve had her. A year and and finally getting ready to build an engine to go In this spring .

That sounds like an adventure! Hope y'all snapped photos along the way and kept the pics.

@bilgerat turtle beat the hare Enjoy your build process.

Couple pics.



My boy's ride to pre-k and K - when I pulled up in pickup line the helpers were confused as to how to get him in. Lol


I love old interiors. New cars generally are plastic and rubber parts bin atrocities.

-And a hat tip "thank you" to the OP for his support.


We had the honor of carrying the remains of the owner/my good friend to his final resting place at Georgia Veterans Cemetery Canton. USAF Veteran Desert Storm.

if you ever want to sell that truck, keep me in mind. My Pa-in-law drove one as long as he could, before dementia got him off the road.

The wonderful sound of American muscle, can't beat it.

Man I’ve been looking at El Caminos. Don’t know why but I’ve always wanted one since seeing a distant uncle from Oklahoma roll down the street in one a few decades ago. Soon…

I saw a white 67 one in NC for sale. Man, is that tempting

Don't know if it's a classic but its an antique. And unique.
And I agree the older cars had much cooler interiors. Hate the sea of black or grey.

My dad left behind his 96 eddie bauer bronco....cream puff all original....i wanted to sell but my son said he wanted to keep it, he never asks for much so now he drives it to church on Sundays....

I've never seen one of those. Cool

I am lucky enough to still have my first car...... 1970 Mustang Fastback. It isn't a Mach 1 but it was all I could afford in 1977 and was what I wanted. Needs a full up resto or at least an engine build. Came across the 1931 Model A a few years ago that had an older restoration and needed a little mechanical work.View attachment 1280788View attachment 1280790

Had a 70 mustang as a young un too. Wasn't my first car but not too far from it. No spoiler and an orangeish color but very similar.

Not sure it's a classic, but it's old...

1987 Jeep Wrangler YJ
w/350 Chevy Small Block
Sniper EFI/Hyper spark Ignition
Ford 8.8 Rear End


It has had a lot of updates since these were taken. I love it but my wife says I don't drive it enough for it to be worth it for me to keep it. I disagree since I would just have to find something else for me to work on to replace it. Not even sure what it would be worth anyway as it probably wouldn't come near to recovering what I have put into it.

Pretty rare for sure. The only convertible conversions I remember were the Shelby Dakotas. Never seen a Sport package convertible. Magnum V6?

It ain't got round headlamps....

Didn't own one but I wanted one bad. Turned 19 in 83. Same year of the 15th Anniversary Hurst Oldsmobile. Far after the muscle car era but I remember the first time I looked through the window and saw the lightning rod shifters. Thought that was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.
