Pics of my Cars
It has been awhile since last I posted anything about my car collection. I’ve been a little too busy to work on them, but thankfully they’re all running at the moment. Sure, some need a little tuning, but as long as I can get to the grocery store and back, I’m not worried. They’re never-ending projects. Driving them *should* be an adventure. (Like the time my ’68 Mustang fastback caught on fire on the way to the grocery store. Yeah, that was fun! No major damage. I only had to replace a couple wires under the dash.)
Speaking of my ’68 Mustang fastback…my pride and joy…
She was born a plain jane, but I assure you, she’s never been plain during the 15 years I’ve owned her. She always keeps me on my toes and will always be with me.
The ’83 Trans Am in the previous pic used to be mine as well. Had to sell it, but I don’t really miss it that much. It was a nifty neat car and I wish I could’ve kept it, but I’m glad to’ve owned it for a time and gotten to drive it in a few television shows.
Notice the difference in engine compartment between the previous pic and the following one? The one below was taken in 1998… A few things have changed during that time, huh? And more have changed since that pic, too!
’66 Corvette convertible… Yes, that’s a 427/435 under that hood. I’ll admit that this is more Jason’s car than mine, but I do tinker on it from time to time and of course, I do drive it. Yes, it’s a very loud beast. I’ve even used it in a few television shows and feature films.
What can I say, I like ’68 Mustangs. Here’s my Convertible cruiser. He’s not fast, but he sure does look and drive great. Finally got an AOD in him, too, after the engine swap I covered in the car section of this blog.
I told my hubby I was gonna do ‘a little tinkering on the car’. He came out and this is what he found!
Here’s my project car–’69 Corvette–when we bought it. Finding it, involved my best friend Eddie (he helped with the last engine swap) and a pair of binoculars…over a period of about 15 years.
When Eddie and Jason lifted the hood, this is what they found. Nice, huh? Just start ‘er up. NOT!
Eddie and I particularly enjoyed this detail… Yeah, that’s a wasp nest on that rotor… I saved it, too, just ‘cuz I’m weird like that.
My ’03 Viper is quite a fun ride…
Last, but certainly not least, my ’00 Prowler… (I really need to take more pics of it, but this pic is good enough.) Really, really fun to drive.
I also have an ’08 Saturn Sky Redline, but I haven’t taken any pics of it yet.
