What vintage cars are hiding in your garage?
Well Fred first of all let me say welcome aboard. I also have to say I really enjoyed reading your post and especially seeing your video. With a nice sounding engine like that who would want or need a stereo in the car. The pictures were equally interesting to look at.
You've got some really nice vehicles there so keep posting the pictures. I for one really enjoyed seeing them. Paul
Yeah, I know this thread was last active 5 months ago, but hey, I get to share my other interests.
Hobbie project #1:  It's a 1968 Mustang notchback I'm slowly restomodding into a visual replica of a Jerry Titus Trans-Am racer. The engine is a non-vintage roller cam 302 with forged pistons, Weiand X-Celerator single plane, Holley 650DP, Crane cam, roler rockers, Edelbrock heads, and Hooker headers. Power goes to a Toploader 4-speed and out through a 3.50 Traction-Lok 9" Ford rear. Not shown in the picture is Mopar 15x7 steel wheels. Project #2:  This is a 1984 Mustang SVO, one of about 9800 SVOs made between 1984 and 1986. It came with a 2.3 SOHC turbocharged engine rated at 175hp and 215lb-ft, factory Koni suspension, and kicked tail on the '84 5.0L GT. This is my restoration car. My XR600 for the rough stuff:  Free time "waste of money" project #4:  It's a 10hp Briggs & Stratton flathead with porting and valvework....and a turbocharger with electronic fuel injection(!)
My 70 Challenger
I know it's a bad picture, but we didn't have digital cameras, computers or scanners back then, at least not normal folks, but it's all I have left, except of course for the fond memories. But alas, I had to be rid of that hole in the driveway that I shoveled money into. Now I have 9 smaller holes to shove money into! 84 Z50 - 71 CB175 - 64 CB77 - 67 CB77 - 72 CB350 - 78 XL350 - 72 CB500 - 79 CB650 - 83 CB1000c
Some really nice stuff shown here but, I'm more into 305's old Fords, even though I'm a Mopar sort of guy. Nothing now but in the past is a different story. Sorry don't have pictures of most and what I do have pictures of, the pictures aren't handy right now.
56' Plymouth/277 V8, 58' Chevy Impala 2dr hdtp/348 V8, 66' Charger/383/4sp/posi, 69' road runner/383/ auto, (2nd) 69' road runner (I married the owner 36 yrs ago), (2nd) 66' Charger/383/auto, 73' VW "The Thing", 76' Volare road runner/318/auto & 74' Dodge Royal Monaco (ex State Police Car)440 interceptor V8/auto. Closest thing to a classic now is an 80' Honda accord 4dr! Gotta lot of "Vintage Project Bikes" (means that they are in pretty fair to pretty deplorable shape) Later on, Bill
'63 Falcon, and a '65 T-Bird with roaring lake pipes and glaspacs daddy-o!
