Oh man…you are so singing my song! I love them all more than I love boats (and that’s saying something)!
Can’t even begin to name a favorite but there are obviously favs I can afford and favs I must lust after from a very great distance (like my lust for Lucy Lawless)
Just sold the '67 Ford Galaxie 500 ragtop the otherday to make room in my garage but no idea yet what I will fill it with. Looking at a '69 Torino GT convertible in the Tidewater with a 428CJ…RARE but the color is wrong as I suspect it needs more restoration that the seller is letting on. Another sweet ride in my sights is a '58 Ford Skyliner fully restored and a '66 Olds Toronado.
So many cars but so little $$$
Rockabilly Music & Hot Rod Cars (lol)

lol…yelp.
this is the Torino which I am looking at very closely at the moment
this has the potential to be a phenomenal car but there are so many unknowns and I can’t get out to Norfolk to see it for at least a month so I’ll probably lose it to someone else yet there are always more wonderful cars around the bend so…

My dad had a 70 Torino GT hartop, it had a 351 clevland 4V. It was yellow with the black GT stripes. He got it right after he got back from Vietnam. He wound up selling it about 5 or 6 years later, but he still has some pics of it. I was to young to remember much about it. However after looking at the pics I know now what it was. Wish he would have kept it.
I have 2 mustangs a 67 fast back GT, and a 93 GT 5.0 and 5 speed, both hard tops. I enjoy the old jewels, have had a lot of fun with them.

Pictures man…we need pictures!
For many years in a more hedonistic youth, I had a '69 Torino GT ragtop white with black GT stripes, a white top and a turquoise interior. She had a 302 2V with C4 tranny and only 33k original miles when I bought it in almost showroom condition from the original owner. I sold her 10 years later to a guy in Sarasota, FL and pray that gorgeous car is still around being beautiful.
Damn how our old rides can be like old girlfriends we wished we’d never dumped!
