In '74 I bought a '67 Shelby GT-500, dual quad 428 and a C-6 automatic
with 12,000 miles on it for $1,600. It didn't take much to burn the tires off
of it. This was my hobby car. Couldn't wait for the summer car shows and
cruisin'. The car is featured on the Automobile Quarterly "Striped
Lightning" poster and in Volume 16, Issue 8 of their publication. What a
neat car. Turned heads everywhere I took it. I sold the car in '88 for
$13,000! Damn!

Some of my automobile modeling. You'll probably notice most of it is Fords. That's because I've
been a Ford enthusiast ever since I was old enough to drive.
My first car was a white '59 Ford Galaxie, 352 V-8, 2 barrel and 2 speed Ford-o-matic. What a
tank. Man I used to beat the crap out of it. Blew it up one day.
Next was a '63 Galaxie 500 XL, 390 V-8, 4 barrel and 3 speed automatic. Another tank but a
good car. Serve me well till I retired it to the bone yard.

In '85 I bought a new Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and in '88 I traded it in and bought another
Turbo Coupe. Both great cars. I kept the '88 for 15 years. Sold it in '03 for $2,700 with 114,000
miles on it. You could drive that car for 12 hours and never knew you did. I still miss it.
That's what makes me a FORD man.

Between the '63 and '85 I had a couple of family cars. A '67 Rambler station wagon, what a piece
of crap, and a '76 Maverick which turned into a rust bucket piece of crap real fast. I know, it's a
Ford. Definitely not one of their better ideas.
I now have a '03 Acura CL Type S. Bought it new and now has a whopping 14,000 miles on it.
Nice car, lots of power. Closest thing I could find to the '88 Turbo Coupe but it doesn't ride as
nice or handle as good as the T-Bird.........
