You're setting the bar kinda high! Who's going to come close to this, you lucky b*st*rd?

I'm putting a kid through college. Therefore 2 ordinary generic mid-size SUV's.

Thats one helluva list... What do you have against Mopars?

I have a 72 Plymouth Cuda ive had since h.s. which i used to bracket race and then went pro street with. Tubbed, 6 point rollbar, 440 .060 over with 2 holleys on a low rise manifold. fiberglass lift off hood, fenders and seats, and a tinned interior. Best thing i ever bought was a really noisey gear drive for it. Currently in primer and has been stored for a few years.

Yea, I had to get my 64 Nova restored about 10yrs ago, (never really done), because I knew I could not do it now and that was before I knew anything about travel softball.

I love Mopars, just been harder to find and more money. 72 Cuda is badass, probably the best Mopar body style, except maybe late 60's Charger. Those tail lights are cool on the Mustang.

Yeah, they really set the car off from all the others out there. I constantly have to reign the boy in from doing ricey things lol, were going for a clean old school look... It has a "go baby go" (gone in 60 seconds movie) shifter knob with a NOS button on it, but hes not getting a bottle if i can help it.

A couple I have owned.
The 55 was in Texas, my brother out front cleaning his low rider.
The torino picture was in the up of Michigan and drinking a coors, or Olympia, one of those two. We did not have those beer brands around Cincinnati at the time.

The 55 is my uncle's, but I keep it. He has owned it since 1975. The Camaro is my slow moving project.

FastBat beat me to it although I can add a couple more hitting aids along with a full length net so the kids can do more.

NOW, outside my shop sits an innocent looking 2006 Ford F350 Diesel 4-door cab with 8ft bed covered with a special matching cap hooked to a 24ft enclosed trailer that I use to haul 1 of 2 race cars I drive at local asphalt short tracks in the summer. I have a full sized NASCAR type chassis skinned as a Ford Fusion that runs a 4 cylinder Pinto motor in a class known as Pro-4 or Mini Stock. My other car is actually a 5/8th scale version of a 1928 pickup truck I run in a class called Dwarf Car or Classic modifieds. I run a Yamaha 1000cc fuel-injected engine for power. Miniature version of a NASCAR chassis and super fast fast fast. The second fastest class at most all paved short tracks I have ever run. Along the wall is my 2006 Harley Street Bob I ride to the grocery. lol
