And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
had the chance to buy one back in high school to 1200 bucks. my Dad said only if I could pay the car insurance too. sad to say that was more than the car back then.
Last 6cyl was 55'. That's a 61. I restored and showed a 60' black vette with the 270 hp 2-4 engine option. Top option was the fuel injected high lift cam. All engines were 283 V-8s from early 55 until the introduction of the 327 in 62. Bubbarust Knew Alloway when he was starting building rods. Bought a 1937 Chevy Coupe he found in a barn in Blount county. It actually started and ran after sitting for 25- 30 years.I drove it home to Knoxville. (Still have it today)

DeleteIn 1972 I paid $1000 for a 1966 Mustang hipo, and a years worth of insur at Nationwide was $74. - easily afforded.

ReplyDeleteel néné.....
I think it looks fantastic but suspect its not standard. Is it OK to fiddle with a classic like this?
ReplyDeleteVery true but here in the UK they end up stuck in slow moving traffic along with everyone else.
ReplyDeleteMy BF bought as his first car for $800 in 73. It was a 58 and was missing some grill and had to have brake & seat fixes.
ReplyDeleteMeh, I drive a boring car so I can afford to go cool places & do cool stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy "best" car was a '68 GTO, white on white convertible, 400, 4 bbl, 4 speed, 350 posi rear end.
