I'm getting close to a point in my life where I'll be able to go the other direction and start getting some of my favorites back. Never had a Shelby, but damn...after I get my lifelong wish-list Corvette, I may have to look for one. That is super hot.

Different toys replacing it. Was a blast, threw down 623/649 and was insane. But it was time for new adventures.

New owner is taking care of it for sure though, already changing a lot for more power

Wish I had this back, 1971 formula, 455 4speed. Took me 3 years to restore. Won many trophies, showed it, raced it, DROVE it! Sold it to a guy in Dayton Ohio & a few years later saw it sold on Barrett Jackson.

My dad had the same thing. Sold it and the guy that bought it was dead within a week. Wrapped it around a poll.

My first truck... 1988 Pathfinder. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of it but this is damn close (just imagine it with a lot more rust.) This thing took a beating from myself and the 6 people who drove it before me! I ended up rear ending someone one winter on a ski trip. With the help of pry bar I was able to get fender off the wheel. Drove it for another 2 years after that. This thing was a tank! I finally sent it to the great mud pit in the sky when the doors fell off. And I mean they literally fell (rusted) off.
