    66electrafied Just tossing in my nickel's worth

    Where to start...there are a couple. I'd love to finally get a 59 Invicta or Electra. Probably never get the chance. I'm also looking for an early 50s Mercedes 220, preferably a 52. And then there's a 62 Olds Starfire...
    The sad thing is, I've never even come close to owning any one on that list, and it doesn't look like that will change in the foreseeable future.

    Im always on the lookout for an Open GT or a Manta. I'd love to do a 215/ 4 speed conversion on a Manta

    My next ride is in My avatar. And I already have it. Now I am collecting parts. After I am done with it I would like to find a 73 Chevelle .

    I used to have a 1967 Impala SS. I loved that car. It only had a 327, but it did have a/c. impala.jpg

    I would prefer an older 357 long nose stretched out frame out be how I would roll. Only issue is trying to see over the long nose, might have to settle for the usual Volvo

    One of these days you're gonna have to let someone else get a really good one.

    upload_2018-12-26_8-24-10.jpeg Had one of these back in the late 80's. GF (now wife) ran it hot and blowed up the 360 it had in it. I put a nailhead with a TH400 behind it. Sadly it got pawned for crack money while I was a guest of the local county corrections. I did see it once after my release on the side of the road as I was passing by in a city bus. Very limited production run. Like 1700 cars total. I'd like another one day when the time and money is right.

    I had a Manta just out of HS. Dad had parted out a 63 F-85 for the 215 AL engine and I wanted to mate the 2.
    Dad (the guy that put a hemi in a 53 Corvette) talked me out of it.
    I think it would be a great combo.
    I still have the 215 :)

    I fell in love with this and had to have one. I bought it last July and I love it! 2016 AMG GTS Edition1. 170 made for the USA. Bought it with 1470 miles. Has 2800 now.
    Nice to have a sports car in the garage again. Cars I sold and wish I never did are far too many to mention. ;-)

    My dad had one exactly like this. Bought it the day before I was born. Rode home from the hospital in it. Sold it in the early 90s. Wish he wouldn’t have....really rare.

    Well, I'm prolly due for a mid life crisis, so I guess a vette and a members only jacket, or a 911 and a pocket full of coke...
