tc rocker Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I just wondered if anybody else in the gibson forum was interested in the 50's, 60's, & 70's classic cars also? Would this be Billy Gibbons syndrome or classic car "gas". I don't know. Anybody with some nice rides????? Tho it's too cold for classic cars in ohio now. Just wanted to see some nice cars. BTW, we have a 1969 mercury cougar convertible, big block. Yup a 428 cj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJScott Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Stored in my Cow barn right now, is a car I'd LOVE for the owner to finally part with. Been in there off & on for 20 years. Glass is the only thing that is good, but I know some great body guys who could help me restore this car to original, just need to find the original 396/375 1967 Chevelle is hard to come by!

btoth76 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I used to work as a car specialist rebuilding and modifying US cars. Mainly working on engines, but with other parts of the car too. I've worked on many beauties, although none of them were real classics. The oldest was probably a '72 Lincoln Continental Coupe. I personally owned one '76 Mach 1 and four Fox-chassis Mustangs ('78!, '79x2, and an '83). Those were great cars for modding. Unfortunately real vintage cars like '68-'70 muscle cars are very rare here. Really envy on You guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Whilst I realise it's hardly considered a 'Classic' in the USA, these are becoming recognized as fun little things in the UK. Here's me and mine taken a few years ago. 1973 914 2.0L P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJScott Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 In the same barn as the 67, I also have an all original, numbers matching, RUNNING, 48 Ford F-2 pickup with a flathead V-8. My brother-in-law bought it about 10 years ago for $650. We had to re-wire it and put a new generator on it, but it runs pretty darn well for a 52 year old truck.

GibSinCity Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I like Classic cars. Vintage, Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, etc. But shouldn't this thread have been posted in the Lounge Forum? Might even get more replys. Just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I still have my hot-rod from my teenage years, a 1973 Pontiac Trans Am, 455 C.I. bad boy. It's been stored away for many years, and is in need of major body, interior, and suspension/undercarriage restoration. The only thing I've really maintained over the last 15 or 20 years has been the engine. Turn the key, and it fires right up. Once a month or so (weekly during the summer) I run it up to temperature, keep fresh oil and gas in it, and keep it tuned and timed to perfection (I think maybe I just like to hear it run). My wife would really like to see it sold. Seems to me mt last wife would have really liked to have seen it sold too. I have no idea why I keep, just one of those things. I guess it's my last grasp of my youth. You really don't want to see pictures of it in it's current state (it's kinda sad), I'll try to find one from it's glory years.
