I know some of you have muscle cars, trucks, Harley's, or speed boats...lets see'um!!!

[clifish]

I should be going over to my parents house this week, I'll try to remember to look for photos of my old muscle cars, boats, and bikes.

I can't decide if I want to buy a muscle car, flat bottom Sanger V drive boat, or a Harley.
Furthermore, I'm kinda leaning towards an old muscle car, something I can actually wrench on without a computer degree. Although I do miss my Sanger boats!!!

I would ditch the thought of a motorcycle, way too many distracted, impatient drivers out there.

Because if you can afford those watches, you better have a badass ride.

I think the Cayenne fits that statement.

If I could afford a GT3, all those watches would be gold.

Fun thread.
I had a 76 Porsche 924 30 years ago. Now where near a high performance car with that whimpy Audi slant 4 but but i rode the rails. Nice thing was insurance didn't consider it an expensive car.

...
Here is my Mustang.
...

Saw that car in person including Al & Judy. Nice car and impressive couple that own the car.

I've owned (and sold) a small fleet of muscle cars.
Based on today's prices, I sold too soon and for too little!
Still dream about my deep blue 66 GTO tri-power four speed.

@SmokinAl , that's a beauty Al.

Which is why I most likely wouldn't get a street bike until we leave CA.

You and me both!!!
I have a close family friend his family owns a local auto restoration co, he made some very impressive investments in old 60s and 70s muscle cars back in the 90s, and made a killing off of them at Barrett & Jackson auctions. We all thought his was crazy spending as much money as he did on cars back then, we ate crow after seeing the money those cars brought him in auction. I wish I would've followed his lead!!!

Not mine but this was in the parking lot at the bar.Always loved 442s and this is a sweet one!

 

[bigfurmn]

Ok not mine but had to share. My cousin's 1966 Thunderbird 428. Swing away steering wheel and all. Fun cruiser.

442 ... 4 Barrel, 4 Speed, 2 Door ... I've always liked them as well...

This is the one I always wanted.

 

[Coreymacc]

That's correct , and the W-30 was a performance upgrade to the 442 package .

1966 Thunderbird 428.

Didn't see many with a 428 . Nice car . 5th digit should be a Q . Always wanted a '66 .

 

[civilsmoker]

This "was" mine for a while....Man it was a fun ride while it lasted!!!!

It had a 6L VVT at 440 hp with cold air intake (2008 Vette motor). I had the jet impeller mirror polished and balanced then Teflon coated the whole inside of the pump surfaces. It would do 48 mph on rippled water at 2000ft elevation....

We used to ride sportbikes. I had a couple Honda 600RR's. Sold them, but miss them. Happy to have lived to tell the tale.

It is indeed a "Q" code. He has a total of four 1966 Thunderbirds. One in each body style. Hardtop coupe, convertible, town coupe and town landau. The hardtop coupe is the only one with a 428. Others are 390s. None are a show car and a few need some work to be on the road today but they are all fun when things are right and they are running.

convertible,

I would love to have a '62 / '63 convertible with the cover that goes from the trunk lid to the front seat head rests , hiding the back seats . My dream would be a '63 / '64 Galaxy with the R code 427 - 4 speed .
I'm working on some pics . I had a 1968 Q code 428 Torino . Extremely rare car . Makes me want to cry everytime I think about it .
