How's the E-Type doing?
I had one of those at one time.
My old cars are too numerous to list so I will just note a few of my favorites.
63 Dodge Custom 880, very large. My first car. Had power everything giant two door hardtop, fucking RED and a push-button trans.
70 Mach 1 Mustang, Yellow with black stripes, four barrel 351CI Cleveland engine, Shaker hood, C6 trans (large car towing package), louvers, spoilers, air dams, etc. Did a solid low 14 second quarter mile box stock. Rebuilding and modifying the engine, adding slicks and some traction bars, I took more than three seconds off that time.
69 Boss 302 Mustang, as advertised and just a really fun car to own, all black except for all the fancy gold trim pieces.
67 My first convertible, Firebird with a 400CI enigine sporting three duece carbs and a 4 speed Tranny. Nothing fancy, but damn would that beast go! Only problem, when I bought it, there was something wrong with the linkages which made the three carbs work together. Sometimes the throttle would "hang" wide open and the only thing I could do was turn off the key.
74 Mustang convertible. Just a nice driver. 351 Cleveland 4bbl, scoops on the hood, spoilers out back, nothing fancy, just a Mustang.
73 El Camino 455, 4 BBL, 4 speed on the floor. Fancy assed show car/truck, but I bought it to take the engine and tran out to use in a race car I was building. It was fun to drive but the quarter mile round track dirt scrubber I built from it was even MORE fun.
58 Willys Wagon, that thing would go anywhere, large six cylinder engine, four wheel drive. Kind of ugly, unless you own one and love it. I loved mine.
67 Jaguar E-something. Had a 6 cyl engine. It looked awesome, fun to drive, but it was really a maintenance nightmare piece of shit. Trying to drive it was the mistake. I wish I still had it just to look at and sometimes polish.
71 GMC Light Duty pick up, 350CI small block, std trans. I kept that truck for thirty years. NO trouble, just a great little truck to own. It would pull four times its weight of any amount of shit that had wheels and never offer any concern.
I now drive Cadillac Escalade SUV and my wife drives a Lincoln Town Car (destined to be a classic). We also bought a 2012 Chevy Traverse for my son to drive, but he still has not "done the work" to get his license. He says it is TOO POWERFUL for him. LOL!
As far as the other cars being way too many to list, I used to buy, trade and sell cars for money, as an amateur. All of the "cool" cars I have ever owned were attained due to that enterprise. I generally drove every car I traded for or bought for a while.
So that list includes a great many interesting things from the 50s, 60s ,70s and 80s.
