Side Note : A friend had a very nice 55 Vette that he traded in for a brand new 1976 MOntecarlo even up . He never lived that down . I used to work with an old fellow that was a German immigrant that traded his first car( '57 Chev. Belair convertible,white with white roof and red interior ) for a then new 66 VW Beetle and got 1,500 in cash. Poor old fellow probably still kicks himself Daily!!!!!

The new Z06 with the supercharged 6.2 might make more power, but the previous Z06 with the 505hp 7 liter engine sounds wonderful Dream car: Fast & gorgeous, and the Daytona influenced many other car designs. I threatened to buy a 911 a couple years ago. Of course I then discovered it was absolutely impossible to store a rifle in it, except for the passenger seat. Hard to say, might do a boat in a couple years. Might do a sports car, too... "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

It has a 400 with Tri-Power and a 4 speed Muncie with a 355 Posi-traction rear end. The second picture is about 43 years ago, things were different in those days...

In response to your Super Duty 455 dream..... when I found out that 74 was the last year of the 455 Super Duty Firebirds, I went to the local Pontiac dealer to order one, and missed the deadline by a week......bummer. They're currently bringing 4-5 times what my Z-28 will now.

He drove out to western NY and pulled home a 57 T-bird. I think he bought it for $8500. It was in 100 pieces. He brought it home, restored it and drove it for about 5 years. He sold it because it was uncomfortable, and no matter what he did, it over heated like a SOB. Camp is where you make it.

Nice lookng car! Those old MGs were extremely rare around my area. A local lawyer had the only one I remember seeing driven even semi-regularly on the street. His was British Racing Green. He told me he bought his back in the 50s when he was in the military stationed in Europe and had it shipped back home when he ETS'd.

Uncles told me that was one of the quickest cars off the line they'd seen. Folks bought it new in 72 and sold it in 75. I ran a title search on it when I was 15 (1990) to see if it was around. Kid who bought it from mom and dad totaled it out 6 weeks later. He went over yonder way
