Thats what happen to me I grew up with a dad that was into Pontiacs.The family car was a 70 GTO he bought that new in Lubbuck TX.Couple years later he bought a 72 Lemans 4door bigger for the family.When I turn 21 he gave me the GTO and I still have it too this day.

SDS great, I really hope our 3 little ones take interest. Who knows where prices will be 20 yrs from now! I have 6 cars, 5 being raivs, so they'll be off to good start.

WOW you have some serious cars there.It must be rough to pick a car each week to drive.Out of all of them what is your favorite?

[yellowjudge]

That's hard to pick one. I would say that I favor the birds over goats. I think 70 is best handeling, but 69 TA is a unique looking 60s musclecar.

My newest project…. This car is nothing special, no Ram Air or HO that I know of. But what is cool about this car is the history to me. When I was in college back in the early 80’s, these two gear heads named Mike Frye and Mike Ward had dropped into school for one semester. I had already been there a couple of years and tried to adapt to my new social life, hence new clothes and no grease under the nails. So these two cats were out in the school parking lot wrenching their two 68 Firebirds, I was in shock. I had no clue anyone else at this school even knew what a car was. So I stroll up to them with hoods up and said man these are some sweet looking Mopars and what do they have, dual distributors? HAHA

We became best friends that semester and terrorized the streets at night, racing locals and eventually drawing the attention of a few other school students that had fast rides. Next thing you know people were bringing their hot rods back from home and it had to have been one of the most brutal street racing semesters of that school.

We all went our separate ways after that one semester. Fast forward 20 years, I ran into one of the Mike’s fathers and he still had his son’s car that hadn’t run since the 80’s.

I told him who I was and the history of that one school term, I now have one of those two Firebirds.
