1932 Model A Sports Coupe
1937 Straight Eight Pontiac Sedan
1950 Chrysler Highlander Convertible
1950 Willy Jeepster (Still have this one!)

Am I getting old? I don't even know and can't even visualize half of these newer cars that are being listed.

Golly just one? I'm not sure. I had a 68 Impala when I was a teen. Love to have one of them again. But, mine was a 4 door with a 307 and 3 on the tree. Now I want a 2 door with a 350 4 speed. At least, or maybe a big block.

My 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, 4X4, 318, 5 speed manual, quad cab. Truck treated me great, it was a bit underpowered and drank gas but it did not give me a minutes worth of problems the 9 years and 130,000 miles I owned it...Yep, I miss it and regret getting rid of it..

Had bucket seats, consol, color was yellow with black vinyl top. Top speed as figured off the tach was 140 Only did that once.

1965 Alfa Romeo Guilia Spyder I restored from the ground up. Drove it three years then doubled my money invested. It was offered back several years later at what the buyer paid me. If I could have bought it back I would have. Still would.

There are two that I'd want back.

1. 1963 Pontiac Tempest convertible, Maroon/black top. 326 V8, 3 speed. Beautiful white walls and Pontiac wire spoked hub caps.

2. 1967 Pontiac Firebird Sprint Coupe, Avocado Green. Overhead Cam straight six cylinder engine, Four barrel carb. 3 speed syncro. Lovely sounding split exhaust.

Oh****** there are three. How could I forget my beautiful Bright Red 2001 Ford F150 SuperCrew. It got us all over the USA and in 96,000 miles never gave us a lick of trouble.

And then there was my first new one; a 1957 Ford Sunline Convertible, Starlight Blue/White top.

And then ...............

My 1962 Volvo PV544s with it's twin carb (SU's) B18 engine.

It had the nicest shifting standard...precise, smooth 4 speed. Seats were great, had safety harnesses.

Loved the look and back in the old days, the Volvo PV544 was used a lot in rallies and also was used in SCCA sports car races.

The PV one of the original sports sedans.


Also my '67 Camaro RS coupe, marina blue in colour, 327 V8 with a Muncie 4 speed standard. My 2nd car.
