'65 Plymouth Fury III
The wife and I toot around town on the weekends in our '65 Fury III. We found it 5-6 years ago all original and running, however it needed some cosmetic work. What really drew my attention to it was the 383 Commando under the hood. The past few years we have put a great deal of work in it, mostly under the hood. 4 barrel carb, new manifold, air filter system. This picture shows it with aftermarket wheels, the originals are being painted and then the original dog-bowl hubcaps go back on.
I drove it today to North Austin to purchase an older Smith.

This was my grandfathers car, it's not finished by a long shot but I love this little '68.

Classic American Muscle, not as refined as a new Vette but you don't need to wear a funny hat...
Black Sheep,
That is one of my favorite cars of all time. Which engine is in that one?

Someone just sent me a forward of some old "bumper cars" that some guy in the San Diego area is turning into really neat little street rods, they really turned out nice.

This is my latest. A 74 F-100 with a 390 automatic. Then I will get some new tires and drive it for the summer and later on work on getting the little body parts done and some work and eventually get a good paint job on it.
I've got a 74 F-100 with a 240 six and a three speed.
It's got a camper on it. It's still totally stock with original
engine, etc . Runs good, but I haven't been driving it much
lately.
I also have a 68 F-250 with a 300 six, and a four speed
T-18, and Dana 60 limited slip rear.
It has a utility bed, and a small shell on top of that.
I've pretty much rebuilt that truck.. IE: replaced the engine,
rebuilt the front end, including the king pins, new clutch, brakes,
you name it, about 7-8 years ago. But it needs a paint job..
Hard to find a vehicle easier to work on than the old trucks.
Both of mine are pretty simple, and not much to break on them.
I've also had a few Chevy trucks.. A 66 stepside, and a 72 stepside
were my favorites.. Also had a 78 Chevy 3/4 ton for a while. It was a
tank, but drank gas like crazy for a 350.. You could almost watch the
needle drop when driving it. The two stepsides both had 250 sizes..
I actually considered getting a used Corvette myself back around
2007.. I looked at a quite a few online..
But then the gas prices started jumping, and I decided to get
a gas sipper instead..
Ended up buying a Toyota Corolla.. :/Not near as much fun, but saves me a bundle on the gas bill. And it's
been a good car so far.. Flawless actually.. Not a single problem so far,
and I'm up to nearly 68k miles or so..

Andy it's a built 440 4 barrel that dynoed @ 523 horsepower...
It must be tempting to stick your foot in that 4-barrel out on the highway!

It tops out at a buck and a quarter but gets there pretty quickly...
I have 2 cars and a truck that I am working on. The truck is a 4wd 1883 Toyota SR5. It is in pretty good shape but doesn't get used much. I also have a 1962 Thunderbird. I have redone most of the interior as well as the engine and drive train. I need to get back to work on it. It has sat in the garage for 8 years or so. I have a 2001 Mustang Bullitt. It is in pretty decent shape with only 78k miles. I drive it on weekends and am doing a mild restoration on it. It is the most fun of the three.
