one of the first cars I had was a 1968 Buick California GS. I think they only made around 2700 of them. unfortunatly it was a factory 350 with 2 speed trans and a 2.76 rear gear. it wasnt fast but you could run 80 in first. after that a dozen or so 442 Oldsmobiles, 71 R/T Charger, 72 4 speed El Camino, etc, etc.
currently I am down to the 1970 Cutlass SX convertible (factory 455, dual exhaust, pwr everything, dual gate shifter, etc, that I have owned since 1982). they only built around 750 SX conv. in 70 so I dont plan on selling it.
1965 Mustang Fastback that is getting corvette C5 suspension all around for road racing on the street.
1969 Camaro RS coupe that is all original but needs quarters so it is getting built as a driver.

there is something about the old cars that is just not duplicated today, the style and uniqueness always turns heads and makes you feel great when you crank up the old rock hair bands and burn some rubber off the tires. of course I am biased as I restore them for a living so I spend everyday working on them.

I am sure you fellas are aware that even though everyone wants a big block Chevrolet or a camaro z28 or any year corvette.... It's the old ball cars that are fetching huge values now like the mentioned cars were a few years ago. The bucks, olds, Plymouth, Chrysler belvederes, ford fair lanes, torinos....all the old ball stuff. This is due to the rarity of these cars as well as that's what the buyers parents had in the family a lot of times and past on to their kids so they didn't have to buy them a car or better yet that's what the kids at the time could afford-- the off brand less expensive car at the time!!!

I remember a few of my buddies had some nice gs's and a 442 another cutlass, a GTO/lemans all running around when we were I n high school and 10 yrs afterwards. My everyday ride 3yrs to highschool with my brother was a 69 ss/ rs camaro w a roller cam 427 Th400 and 5.13 gears--- oh my it was fun roll cage and all, can gas mileage be as bad as a boat with 4 wheels?

It's sad but go to cr shows today you see the one billionth Honda civic!!!lol makes you laugh but it's sad( not saying they are fast some of them)...I used to tell my buddies little brother how the hell you gonna do a burn out ? Race that thing in reverse since its FWD! Man we used to rouse them up, but today that nonsense is taking over. And yes some of them are super fast but where is the american metal cars going to be in another 25 years?

When I was younger I almost traded my 70 SS chevelle for a petty replica, cage and all. It was cool, steel wheels the whole thing,
