Here is mine. Factory Five Cobra. Took me 3 years to build 302-340 hp. It weigh 2200# and goes like hell. I painted it Marina Blue. Possibly to be sold this spring.

I first began lusing after a Corvette 50 years ago. I was finally able to buy one this past spring and am feeling completely happy and satisfied right now, car-wise with just this car. How long can I expect this feeling to last before I am no longer satisfied and start to crave more?

Seriously, you guys have some really outstanding rides. I think it's great you're able to have these collections. I love looking at them.

"lusting after a Corvette" sounds like my story also, but didn't you have any other (lower lust) rods in all those years??

36COUPER,
You'd of gotten a better time if you closed the rumble seat. . Nice looking 36. I have a slant back that's been yard art for a few years. a "someday" project

We'll I've had some British and Italian sports cars (Bug Eye Sprite, MG Midget, Alfa Romeo, Fiat 850 Spyder) and a 1969 Ford Torino GT (liked it a lot) but nothing I'd call really special compared to what you guys have.

You guys?? ha ha. There's a LOT of us here that don't roll that high. But I'll bet we all had just as much (maybe more) fun than [you guys]
It's not all about the trophies on this side of the tracks.

Here's the fleet a few years back. The 84 Suburban was an ex Conrail vehicle that I restored back in 1994. I ran it for about 10 years then sold it off and bought the 99 Suburban to replace it. I converted that one to a high rail vehicle myself. Shots of the 99 before and after. Something different !!! The only constant in all my fleet shots is my 66 coupe . Thats been in the fleet for 41 years this coming January. ---- Ken

Mid 9's BB 67 Camaro.........

and the Corvette collection. Looking to add a 66 coupe in the next year or so. In order to do that the 71 LS5 will probably need to go.......
