1985 Pontiac Trans Am. My favorite car ever. She sleeps at my place in Callaway.
I called her the whiplash machine. No car corners like that.

1969 Dodge Charger. She lives at my house under cover. Totally restored and a beauty.

I LOVE the old muscle cars!

My daily driver in HS was a 1966 Mustang GT, 289-4V, 4 speed. That's one of many I wish I'd kept. My '64 Buick Riviera was another.

A Woman that lived across the street from my grandfather bought a 66 GTO right out of college. Still had it parked in front of her house in 2001 when we sold his house.

I had a 65 Mustang Coupe, 289, automatic, no other frills.

drove it everywhere, never had a problem I couldn’t fix in a few minutes where it was.

it was also my first total rebuild of an engine. I have a lot of good memories driving or working on that car.
