I just bought a 65 Rambler (cheap) all numbers matching to rebuild. Looking forward to the road trips already! My favorite by far is a 61 Caddy!

I see it now... man trucks are fun to play with but yours looks like the body is nice so you might shed a tear when the side gets knocked in by a tree. my frend had a big ol 79 blazer or at least it think it was that year it was so rusty you could see clean through the side of it. so he cut nearly all the body off made a roll cage welded the rear end together. left just the exaust manifolds on lifted the body on blocks. then he got some 38" tires with nearly no tread and he took it though anything.... that is untill he cracked the frame off some ******** jump he made then it just got eaten by rust to death
Love that blazer, I want one like it, diesel.
I know they're not that old, but here are kate's trucks, '82 and '83 ram chargers respectively. The 83 is stock.

here's a side view of the '82

and yes they're interesting to drive.
I only wish i had a truck...right now im driving a 83 cutlass cruiser supreme station wagon that the cops want to take off the road because it is too "unsafe"...But in the past i have owned a 73 MG Midget and a 70 Buick skylark... Both were great cars... I wish i still had them, but they were costing me too much money too keep in good shape...If i can find pics ill post them.

There is nothing like the satisfaction of doing an entire car yourself...it got me into the trade...but i decided a long time ago that i would probably grow tired of working on cars all day and then coming home and working on them...so i went the diesel mechanic route instead. I find that when you take your time and do stuff like restoring a car you really become amazed at what talents you have. Im sure that the Jag will be beautiful when its done..please keep us up to date on the rest of the resto..i would love to see the pics..and for anyone else as well who is doing a resto. If ever i can help with anything from tires up..please don't hesitate to ask as vehicles are my lifes passion :D

My dream cars are a 1971 Buick Riviera, and a 1973 Camaro Z28. It's funny, I'm *way* into cars, but totally fem in every other way, and Nick, my strong-silent-type man, isn't into cars at all. :)

My wife and I were going to get an old hearse and restore it but couldn't find one, so we bought a Ford Taurus Wagon instead. (WE have 2 dogs!). But now, with a little convincing, she's letting me drop a V-8 Ford SHO engine in it. What a sleeper that's going to be!!:bugged:

HmMMm did I say a bad word?
Trying to figure out what was edited ........ was very sleepy when i wrote that hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
oh the 9's I see
:) oops sorry
We've got a '68 Mustang Fastback - same as in the film Bullit with Steve McQueen, except in black instead of green. Fantastic in a straight line, but ask it to stop, or go round corners... well, just hold on tight!
Great fun.
(Love the Dodge Charger, Shane - I think that's my boyfriend's all time favourite - well after the mussy of course!)

A friend of mine went to buy a hearse off of ebay... he didn't get one off of ebay but he did get his hearse. I suggest calling funeral homes and asking if they plan on selling one of their hearses.

I think I'll always want a '71 Chevelle SS w/ a 454 and all the goodies. I have a late model mustang with various mods, but I haven't cracked the head gaskets yet!
My wife frowns on spending money on "that damn thing" ;)
No classic yet but I am looking for a muscle car as a project, my favourite's are '69 Camaro ss/rs, or a GTO Judge. Actually I'd take any 60's-70's muscle car, I love them.

Honduran, if I'd owned that car, no snake, no matter how special, could have made me sell. I'd rather sell my fiance. (anyone want to buy one lazy 22-year-old?)
