Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

1967-1968 style 10-spokes in the top picture, which is interesting.

Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Bought it Dec 1971 for $1,000 40,000 miles on it

You simply cannot put a value on how that car enhanced your life over the decades.

Bought 6S1855 for $2,000 in 1987
The worst was passing on purchasing CSX2027 ( for years I thought it was 2017) for $3,500 and trade in of 1431. Didn't have a roof or heater so I turned it down
By the way when I bought 1431 I was making $85 a week, so $1,000 was a bunch of money. I didn't have $1,000!but the dealer I worked at helped get the loan. The bank president co-signed my loan and I paid 14.5% interest for a one year loan.

How could you have known back then where the Cobras would go not to mention Shelby Mustangs. General rule I learned is if they were hot when new then they will be hot when old. And when the top goes down the price goes up.

Very cool, interesting that by 1970 it has red stripes - someone wanted their gt350 to look different..
