what classic cars are in your family?

mines..well, my grandma has a '74 chevrolet monte carlo (v8, 250+ horsepower engine). a little rusty, but it looks dope as hell. uncle had '69 ford mustang mach 1 (v8, 300+ horsepower engine) 'til he sold it earlier this year to get a truck for everyday driving.

but the question is..what classics roam your family tree?

lol, well...
My father had:
55 Chevy
57 Chevy
62 Chevy
64 Impala 409 :)
64 Stingray
67 Stingray
67 GTO
68 GTO

Wish he still had them!!!
He sold his 67 Stinray for $3,100! and got his 67 goat

MIne is well, my GTO and no my goat is not his 68 :) kinda wish it was though

in know my dad had a ton...way toooo much to list but i know we are going to get a 19?? Nova and 67 Camero so we can race them

I drive a 74 Cougar. Not really a muscle car, but nice cruiser that beats a brand new honda 4-banger my parents wanted to give me.

My mom had a red mustang. Not sure what year, but it was pretty cool. Except for all of the dents in it.

here's my list

1970 Triumph GT6
1965 Ford Econoline pickup
1962 Lotus SII Super 7
1958 MGA roadster

I have my 1967 plymouth valiant. i'm rebuiling it at the moment.

Just my Tiger.

Of course, I'd like more old cars...

I just have my 1966 Pontiac GTO with a 421 and I love it. Sure, it needs some work, but it will be a beauty when it is done. :)

My grandma's brother Lester has a 50's Chevy truck I thing. I'll post back later when I found out what it is. Needs restorestion I know...

my 72 truck which awaits zz4 short block and i am redoing the instruments with all autometer gauges

Citroën DS
Triumph
and Alfa Giulietta.

I have got a 69 GTO which is my little baby. But my brother has a 70 cuda and my father owns a 71 vette. I would love the take the vette off my dads hands. He looking to sell it because hes in his late 60's now and doesn't have the passions for cars as much as he used to.

It's good to see more GTO owners, and more people who appreciate muscle cars. In the Nonspecific section of the Pontiac forum about getting a GTO section, and I wanted to round up all the owners. So if we get the GTO thread, all GTO owners please go there.

My Grandfather had a Cord my dad had a 68 mustang GT with a race 427 in her and i'm trying to save up to get a de soto we all love the classics

my dad has a 1969 ford clubwagon custom 123. it is the longer 123" wheelbase with the ford 302 in it. but its a bit beat up and has cancer in places...:( makes me sad. my dads friend has a 66 mustang fastback GT high performance. 1/6 made for the year. of the 2 that are still on the road his is all stock and in close to perfect condition. the other is beat up. the reason it is rare is kuz it was one of 6 automatic trannies for that model that year. he also ahd like 2 other mustangs in his youth from the 60's. he is liek 20sumthin i believe

-GTi-VR6_A3

My dad has a 1928 Ford Model A Pheaton 4 door and a 1929 Model A Tudor. We've driven the 29 from Delaware up into Canada and over to Wisconsin. It's been around the Indy 500. We've also taken the 28 to Virginia Beach for a show and North Carolina. Never trailer them at all. I'm looking for either a Model A Rodseter Pick-up or something newer and sportier.

oh ! I went in Virginia Beach 1 month ;)

This is my classic driver, and love it.

:eek: Nice Benz!

I'll list all that I can remember we've had since I've been born:

We used to have a 1968 Mustang Convertible- but that was sold off because it was too expensive to run- however I have in storage in NZ a 1971 BMW 2002 Turbo- one of the first ever made- turned into a sort of race car- Only used it on very rare occasions :smile:

1969 Subaru 360.

I currently have a 1971 Buick GS Convertible with the original 350 V8. I also have owned a 1969 Buick GS Convertible with a non-original Buick 430 V8.

Currently in my family? My uncle's got a 1967 Plymouth GTX, 440 big block, red with black racing stripes. That's the only current one. My dad, however, is a moron, cause he had a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A with a Hemi. The car was Hemi orange with white racing stripes. He sold it. He also had a 1967 Firebird that was gold, and I would give my eye teeth to have. He also had a white 1967 (I think) Corvette. My mom drove a '74 Grand Prix when she married my dad. (Funny that, when my mom was 19 she was driving a black Grand Prix. I'm 19, and I drive a black Grand Prix.) That's the only ones I can think of offhand, I'll have to talk to my dad and get back to you with the rest.

1972 Chevelle and 1932 Ford.

My dad had a 32 chevy for his first car, then he bought a 65 Mustang brand new for $2300

My sister had a 62 (?)rambler

My first Car was a 66 Mustang

I've also owned:

63 Bug
65 Bug

Well, its just one... so far. Ive had it since I was 15... and I love/miss her, I'm all the way over here in college, she's alone, back home... :frown:
1973 Buick Apollo
Oh, and Prelewd is a friend of mine, all those Jags are purdy for sure, and the pickup is a monster. Pic doesnt do it justice.

My brother's MG Midget which he restored. He didn't manage to drive it this year due to working on his house but he lets me use it whenever I want. I took it to a couple of shows and a few general drives:

I had to let this baby go sadly as she was rotten as a pear. I did cry and I am not ashamed to admit it:

To make up for it though, I am in the middle of the resto of this, my Imp Californiam. Bodywork done, just needs paint and putting together:

I got a 1978 Pontiac Trans-Am. It is the GOLDEN bandit edition. :biggrin: :grinyes: It is in perfect condition too. I am the original owner - bought it in 1977 and since then... have only put 11000 miles on it. That's right 11000 original miles. No mods, (except for a radio that i put in about 20 years ago, but i am searching for an original on Ebay). I will show some pictures soon. It has never been rained on, and has NEVER seen snow, sand or salt. No rust. It has a 3 speed auto, and the Pontiac 400 6.6L engine. The sound of the engine...oooooooo...I miss it. Too bad it is winter here. It is in my garage now. Can't wait for summer!!!

Those 421's run real well. I put one in my '68 Firebird 20 years ago and it stayed even with my friends '68 Z28 w/ DZ302 motor in it when we drag raced on the local marked off Qtr. mile (we called it Orangewood International Raceway LOL) in Garden Grove, Ca.

http://www.williamsondesign.com/rocketrider/home/my_restoration/front_shot.jpg http://www.williamsondesign.com/rocketrider/home/my_restoration/rear_shot.JPG

Oh man.. we used to have a '56 olds.. That thing was a blast to drive..

My dad has had around 4 to 5 various mustangs, but the kicker is my moms 1970 Ford Mustang Twister Special 428 Cobra Jet. She sold it before I was born to a man who later stripped it down into a stock car racer.........sad thing.

some of the posts show me some of you are to young to know what a classic cars is !
we have 1966 chevy impala, 1958 ford ranchero (2)
1958 ford tudor 300 351m, 1978 ford ranchero 351c
1965 plymouth fury.
but thanks to all the new EPA regulations classics are being crushed by the hundreds and real parts are getting hard to find.
I do like what the new generation is doing with some of the cars but give me a solid steel set of wheels any time

1953 Chevrolet 210 4dr

Well, I personally own a 1970 MGB GT, my brother Jason is buying a 1969 Ford Galaxie with a 390, my brother William owns two mid 70's Firebirds and my Uncle Tom owns a 1968 Mustang notchback with a 289ci and automatic trans.

But the real collector is my cousin Barry. Cousin Barry runs a Grainger insurance agency, alongside of an advertising/marketing agency and a design/graphics art firm. Cousin Barry's collection goes like this.

-1978 Ferrari 308GTB "Quattrovalvole" formerly owned by Roger Penske.
-1968 Mini Cooper S 1275 blue w/white stripes (he keeps it behind his couch in his entertainment room)
-1959 Buick Le Sabre hardtop custom "Lo Sabre". Yes, my cousin owns and designed the Lo Sabre.
-1966 Cadillac Coupe de Ville custom in progress w/4inch roof chop and custom 18in one piece billet "sombrero" wheels.
-1995 Corvette ZR-1. Last year of ZR-1 production, 3200 original miles.
-1959 Chevy Impala. White w/red interior. Factory tri-power 348 with 3spd, fully optioned. 150original miles.
-1957 Ford Thunderbird. Factory continental kit, turquoise paint with matching interior, four barrel 292 w/manual trans, less than 400original miles.
-1966 Corvette roadster. 427 L72 code, knockoffs, rear exit exhaust, black, 4spd wide ratio. NCRS top 100 restoration.
-1967 Corvette coupe (this is the car my brother Jason told Barry he would gladly kill a man for) L71 code 427, 4spd, red with black stinger stripes, redline tires, factory side pipes, rally wheels, black interior, 1700 original miles.
-1993 Dodge Viper RT/10. Production #11.

Of course, Barry isn't completely satisfied with the collection. He most wants a V12 Ferrari with carbs. He was going to swap the ZR-1 and the 308 for a 512BB, but the deal fell through when he drove the 512 and found it was a little rattly and unkempt for the money. In fact, I remember him saying after he got back from looking at the car "Only way that car only has 2000 miles is if all of them were done at Sebring."

My Dad owns a 66' Mustang
I get the old girl when he is unable to drive so i am pretty happy bout that. Shes a great car...

My father's car 1953 Plymouth savoy.

Hi im new from Ireland :iceslolan

My list at the moment is

1975 Triumph TR6 :)
1972 Alfa Romeo Gt 1300 Junior :sunglasse
1977 Peugeot 504 :licka:
1983 Alfa Romeo Alfasud :lol2:
1975 Daimler (Jaguar) 4.2 Long wheel base :uhoh:

The only thing thay all have in commom is that they are all painted red
Well its my favourite car colour. :rofl:

my grandpa had a 53 buick and a 55olds which i want to restore but dont know that much about cars. looking for manuals to get it all done.

My current project cars are a 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air 2dr, undergoing restoration, and a 1973 Ford Gran Torino 4 dr. I probably will put the Torino up for sale when the weather gets better to concentrate on the Bel Air. It's hard to do restorations on 2 cars when you're married with 2 kids, and doing extensive remodeling to your home. There just isn't enough money available !

No classic cars in my family, except mine.

1964 Cadillac Sedan deVille - sweet ride, 429 motor, more options than most modern cars, and the last year of Cadillac fins. What more could you want?
