----Wow,,,Talk about being right in the middle of everything!!!....Bill S

Some cool signage in this photo. Love the Chevy too!

Looks like that could be NW 27th Ave, facing south in Opa Locka, FL.

That '61 would be soo cool with crossed flags front and rear, a skinny shift lever on the center hump, and a Sun tach on the steering column!! :headbang:

It is actually from down here in New Zealand, not too far from me.

Hmmm...

I always thought that was a weird name for a Chevrolet dealer too, but they must have existed before Ford stole the name.

Only 3 towns named Mustang in the USA.
Texas,Oklahoma and Nevada.

The beautiful Mountain Green ‘67 Z in the vintage certification at MCACN ‘23 was from Mustang Chevrolet in San Angelo, TX.

1955 Chris Craft , these came with Cadillac engine , this boat was special ordered without engine because owner wanted Cadillac engine built to his spec .

----I can't remember the guys name (Jim something I think, he's passed on) that owned this pair along with a whole bunch of other cars and boats. He was from the Dayton Ohio area. I met him at a wood boat restoration place here in Marine City MI years ago. The car was, I believe, a Barris concoction and the boat is a rare Chris Craft 21ft Cobra. He modified the Cobra from its original livery and pretty much destroyed its value, but the guy was so wealthy he probably just didn't care. The fin on the Cobra was the 1st use of fiberglass by Chris Craft. Original 21 Cbras are worth well over $100,000!....Bill S

This seems to be the same boat! Pretty cool!

Guy's name was Jim "Street" Skonzakes and the car was the Golden Sahara.

He owned a local business security company, Radar Sentry I believe, and was into electronics. The car could be remote controlled to drive unattended and supposedly had on-board radar systems.

----Wow, Mark! I didn't remember that Barris hads anything to do with the Cobra as well. That certainly boosted the value as well as all the other changes. That's a really strong price that I did not expect. I do remember that the boat had a heavily modified engine. Very cool!...Bill S

If you’re going to land on a car would be hard to beat a 59 Chevy .

That's crazy that it just balanced right there. The car must have been going the right speed for that smooth landing and the trunk is about the size of a small airport...:laugh:

Would really like to know the back story on that one!!!!

Corvette season is coming..

Looks like it survived ….. the PIPER anyway.

Now THAT'S FUNNY! This IS what the NCRS has become along with Bloomington Gold. Bill

Damn.
I may have to get my deposit back on the E-Ray. I don't have white hair, and just can't do a pair of Daisy Dukes.

Me Too Lynn, All the white socks pulled up and the New Balance shoes just Cracked me up. Bill

I first thought it was a Charley Lillard convention,then I realized they have laces on their shoes. :laugh:

Just a note to let Lee Stewart know that we didn't forget about him and truly appreciate all of the efforts he put into this thread over the years.

I can't imagine that if Lee is still alive and kickin, that he's not monitoring this site and this thread in particular. Lee.....give us a hollar and let us know how you're doing and when we can expect you back!! I hope you're doing as well as can be expected!!!

The White shirt and Tie days going to work.

What a way to commute in a ‘65 Pontiac convertible.
Check out the lady in her MGA.

Gotta love Burgundy on a 60’s car.

What a deal ! Don’t know when this was published , by year of cars around time of oil embargo / gas crunch ?

I'll take 10 Roadrunners and 10 SS Chevelles please

Count me in for the Shelbys

How we used to travel,no seatbelts and both your parents smoking in the front seat with all the windows closed.
A miracle we survived.

any idea what year this ad is from? either its his sales gimmick to "lower" the price on everything or was it during the gas crunch when you couldnt hardly give a musclecar away.

Those happy days!

Along with an Envinrude 9.9 outboard motor between your feet.

The insurance industry killed 60s/70s muscle cars. Don Yenko said as much in his famous MCR interview.

By 1971, if you could find insurance, it was prohibitively expensive. Resale value tanked, dealers didn't want to trade them in.

This is from my May 1970 insurance policy app.

So much truth here!

When I bought my red '67 SS in '67, the agent from the company my parents had been with for 30 years came out.

Wanted the stamp on the block, said they would only insure it because it was an L35, no L34 or L78. $300 for 1st 6 months :eek2: :eek2: and IF I had NO tickets they MIGHT renew!! That's $50/month for a student making $1.25 an hour pumping gas...

I was able to keep the car after finding another company with a rate of $47 for 6 months, on the condition my parents also switched.

Then came the OPEC crisis, the last nail...

My 65 GTO in 1972 for insurance was over a $100 a month, that was with a 100% surcharge if I remember right. I was 19 with to tickets or accidents.....
