I had a 72 Chevelle for a bit. Loved cruising around in it but I’m not good at doing things part way and it was eating at me that it sat so much. Sold it and miss it sometimes, but allowed me to upgrade hunting gear and do more hunts selling it.

I'd love a classic Lambo

I had a 1976 Buick LeSabre it was a nice ride. I have a 76 Nova hatchback I started working on but the trunk rust is beyond my abilities to repair. Had a 77 Nova former police car I bought for parts. My dream car is a 1970 Chevelle SS, and I really want a 1955 step side 4x4 with a v8. I love old classics, but they're getting to the point that a house is cheaper.

Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3

Ahh, my first was a '61 Impala I bought at an estate auction in '86. It only had 40k original miles on. I paid a whopping  $225  :chuckle: jump started it and drove her home.
It was pretty stock, 4 door with a trunk you could fit an elk in.  That car carried all my camping, fishing gear for 2 years. I sold it for $400 and heard she went to the bay area. Prolly got lowered and hydraulics installed  :yike:

Since we "kinda" derailed DoubleJ's Challenger thread, figured I'd start this to make amends  :chuckle:

Do you own a classic ride?  If so, what is it and please post a pic and tell us a bit about it.  If you don't own one, what "would" you own if you got one.

 :yeah: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I think the early 70's  (1972-73?) Roadrunners with the "double D" style headlight housing/grills (00------00)   look pretty neat in my book!

While living in Colorado 20 years ago I restored my pride and joy. A 1967 Lincoln 2 door coupe. Sold it when I move out to Washington.  :bash: This is a similar pic off the web.

Had one that was semi restored. Looked just like this one. 383 4 barrel 3" dual exhaust. Oh mannnnnnnnn..............after having couple kids i couldn't afford fixing and restoring so it had to go. :'( I will own 1 again very soon. :tup:

Oh my!!  Had a buddy that parked one of those inside a pickers shack one night, dropped the shack roof on top of it.  :bdid:   Then called me to fix the damage on the building.  :yike:
