My all-time favorite car... even a replica.
T-Brids always been beautiful... if not agile, right up until they tried to reproduce them.Early and late 60's 'Vettes as I recall. Great cars, but when I was a very young man the '56 'T-birds ruled!
Yep, they don't have a Beach Boys song about the 're-released' T-birds!T-Brids always been beautiful... if not agile, right up until they tried to reproduce them.
I saw original Shelby Cobras race at Laguna Seca several times. Amazing cars.

I had a 'Stang with a Cobra kit I'd drive through the Nevada Desert to see my now wife. There was sign outside Vegas that said 95 miles to town. I'd easily make it in well under an hour with Radar Love playing as loud as possible and the windows down all the way. There weren't any speed limits in Nevada at the time, just the 'safe and sane rule'. Apparently 120+ was OK...This was... Is my driving song, different era but.... -
I met a German woman near the Abrams Building (IG Farben Building -- also known as the Poelzig Building) that lived close to the Palmengarten in Frankfurt in '90. She owned a pristine '65 Cobra blue with twin white stripes. It had been garaged for a few years since her husband had died. I talked her into washing and waxing it one summer day. The car, big meal, lots of fantastic wine and I ended up waxing something else that night.I saw original Shelby Cobras race at Laguna Seca several times. Amazing cars.
My fastest run was in a 88 Porche 911 Turbo. Bad Kreuznach Germany to Bad Tolz, 300 miles in around 2 hours 38 mins. The owner was surprisingly quiet the whole way. I was over 150 mph several times and never once felt wiggy.I had a 'Stang with a Cobra kit I'd drive through the Nevada Desert to see my now wife.
