As I don't do a lot of miles these days, I was thinking about getting something smaller.

Get you a 73' Lincoln Continental.

Meh. You want well thought out luxury, get an Imperial.

My personal favorites are the 69 to 73 , just pure sinister sex appeal on wheels. But, the 61 to 65 are the ones that were built so stout they started the ban on Imperials in demolition derbies. For technological advances and quality control, the 66 to 68 are the creme de la creme. Secretary seats and balanced hubcaps!

When I was 21 I bought my self, new, a 1971 camaro, blue, big engine. should have kept it. but it started rusting out on the floor. had it probably 10 years. Yep, in the snow it fish tailed, but as a good Ohio gal, you know how to drive in snow even with a fish tail car. I generally keep my cars a long time.

If we're into favourite cars we once had, mine was my "Life on Mars" Ford Cortina GXL" I had in the early seventies.
Metallic bronze with black vinyl roof. The whole family loved that car.

Mine was L reg.

* One of these was featured in the TV series of that name.


I later traded it in for a 2lt Alfa Romeo Guilietta
All aluminium engine canted at 30 degrees to reduce height, two twin-choke down draught Webber carburettors, gearbox strapped to the deDion back axle. For a family car it went like a rocket, but rusted to buggery.

You know Sean, with enough money, you can build a brand new 67 Camaro with whatever drivetrain you desire

any one in the USA I have some corvette 1964 parts to sell.

 

[Ruderunner]

Ah, 63 to 67 vettes are the only ones I can fit comfortably into. Roadsters at least.

I really like the 68 to 72 ones but, ow cramped.

I once tried to get into an XKE coupe, hilarity ensued.

Our Show car got first page (two page lay out) coverage in a Car Magazine. Just got Magazine in the mail. No that is not me. She's a friend Sasha met at the park when we were doing Photo shots of the car. The black box next to the lady is the story.
