69 Chevelle L78
80 Z/28 with a 454

At one time, I had an 86 trans-am, 87 monte carlo SS, the Chevelle and a 68 Camaro 327 powerglide trans. Still have the Camaro, which I've owned half my life and a 46 Chevy pickup.

If we ever start the opposite of this thread, I sold a couple of these cars to buy cards!

Those are some really nice muscle cars. Here is a video of a 1972 Dodge Challenger supercharged 360 that I owned a few years ago. The video was of it leaving from Miami being delivered to me. That blower shop blower sounded awesome.

My first car was a 1969 Chevy Camaro, 327/4speed in high school. I sold it to buy a 1970 Dodge Charger, Hemi orange, 440/4speed, white interior my senior year of high school. I sold it to a guy in Wisconsin back in 1984 with a blown (damaged not supercharged) engine. IF YOU HAVE THIS CAR I WANT IT BACK!!!! I have been looking for it the last ten years. I have loved mopars ever since but I do love all muscle cars.

I bought a 1969 1/2 440-6pack roadrunner back in 1999 (non matching numbers original 6 pack body restored Arizona body) for $9500 and sold it $11,500 in 2001-THAT WAS STUPID!!!

I was into power boats from 2003-2011 having last owned a 2001 eliminator 300 eagle vhull with twin mercury racing 500 EFI's. The boat's top gps speed was 93 MPH. I could have bought a low grade 52 mantle for the gas that went through that boat each season. But I wouldn't take it back-it was a blast!

Thanks for the response I love your car pics. Tom

You would love the car my dad has. Fully restored 1967 GTX Hemi 4-speed. He has talked about selling it(not for sale now) and I actually thought about selling off a good part of my card collection to get it. I would have had a good story for this thread if that happened!

Nice Challenger, look and sound! Send me a message with your email and I'll send pics of the GTX. Don't want this thread going down a totally different path

Interesting topic. I recently sold some cards to buy a building, had a tenant lined up so it made sense.
