A VERY LARGE BURN OUT CONTEST !!! then over 1000 cars in the cruise Sat Night .. Me & 2 other Broncos .. Then some Rat Rods .. not many Vets .. BUT A LOT Of old middle of the road type cars this years. Crazy from maybe a 58 dodge truck or a 65 flat side ugly dodge truck .. Camera and Mustangs Falcon Road Runners were short this year. But old Merc or 53 fords were there .. More 1961 CHEVY 2DOORS THan Bronco .. But my 3 car was a 61 Chevy 2 door hard top . I had a 327/340HP but never got the 4sped in that car.

I really like the old ford falcons and for some reason the VW Thing.but of course bel air's and 50's style thunderbirds.

 

[71massbronco]

I am partial to Fords, but appreciate any old resto. I love those old late 40's early 50's cars that you can have a picnic in the back seat. I also like the the 67-69 camaro's and on the ther side of the fence early 70's Mach 1 and 2 fastback mustangs, any truck from 1940-1960. Can't forget the Mopars muscle from the 60's. Oh, hell, I like them all. My neighbor has a 1967 Chevelle that's a head turner.

 

[Broncmeister]

I'm not really partial to any manufacturer, every company has made gorgeous vehicles IMO. Too many of them to list, man if I were rich I'd have so many classics that it would make Jay Leno green with envy.

 

[ilovemaui]

I've restored a couple '60's and '70's Chevys as well made performance upgrades on a couple vettes. I have always been partial to Chevy but fell for the Bronco a few years ago. I'm more into the engine performance side than the crawler side.

 

[bsquared]

A 1974 Catalina 27 my father bought in 1978 and passed to me in 2001. Pulling the engine by myself and getting in onto the dock for a rebuild in 2005 was quite the challenge. ;D

Then I got the Bronco in 2006 and the boat's been jealous ever since.

I'm not sure "classic" is the right description, but it's a 73 model, so she's old!

This one's a 77 model with my baby boy standing next to it. ;D And my fat thimb in the picture.

 

[gnpenning]

I collect old rust. I have a 69 firebird convert bought in 79. Had to buy it, my 71 triumph tr 6 was part of my down payment on my first home. Love anything old that has been taken care of. The fact they put that much time and effort into keeping it on the road I respect.

Awesome!

I got a 76 F150 4x4 and a 68 Falcon two door sedan. I am a sucker for the 66-67 Fairlanes. Heck, i am sucker for just about any classic ford.

 

[pcf_mark]

I have an 11 second '68 Corvette with an LS-6 engine on steroids but it pisses me off every time I drive it because something breaks!

I am also restoring a '60 Corvette FI.

 

[Bronco Biff]

Hot Rods!!! Use to have time to drive my '32 on some trips. This is Charlotte Motor Speedway about 5 1/2 hours from home.

 

[fordfan]

Not really a "Classic", but a "Classic" to my generation!

Enjoyed looking at others "Toys" from boats to airplanes to tractors! My old ATC 350X is one that the government deemed "Illegal to manufacture". I still like getting it out and running around playing a few tunes out of the Supertrapp! It has an original set of "Ohtsu" flat track racing tires on the rear on some 8" Douglas polished wheels. I also have the original rear rims and some "mudders"!;D;D

 

[70BRCO]

Some good looking classics everyone has...here are some of mine

1979 F-350

1967 Camaro (Wife was a trooper, got to use it on our wedding day to drive it from the church to the reception a couple years back)

1984 Honda ATC 70 (restored this one for my little one to learn on as soon as she's old enough to ride...ran out and bought an 1985 a year ago to restore as soon as we found out #2 was on the way)

1967 John Deere 110 Mower

Wife has already stated that once the Bronco is done and I get around to a 1967 Nova I have in the garage, that I'm to hold off restoring anything for a couple of years...I said okay, but I still need a hot rod

i've had this since 1996 but it didn't look like this when i got it. it has gone thru a few changes since i redid it.

i have not seen one of those in years. I had a friend that had one, they were pretty fast.

I hate you.

Please give me your camaro.... pretty please?

 

[Sporto]

Very sorry to hear about your father. He left you one beautiful toy.

Thanks Broncmeister...It is a really nice toy at that! I am just glad that he finished it while he was in good health, as there is so much to know about cars of that age. I would think it would be more simple than Broncos, but sourcing parts and all of the little "good to know" things are completely new or unknown to me...
