So Frankie, I probably missed the forum notice - but what's up with the Back-to-the-Future car in your Avatar? Did you actually pick that up? Are you working on your Christopher Lloyd impression?

For me, its a first generation Audi R8 (2008-2012) V8, not the V10.

An 851 Speedster. Preferably unrestored, one I find that no one else has. Thats half the fun!

But since I have a better shot at the Powerball tonite, an F-car. Preferably a 458.

A good friend has 61 Ventura in Coronado red metalic, 389 tri power four speed with tri color bench seat interior. He has numerous PMD national awards. Not for sale but I have to ask every time I see him. i think the only thing wrong in the picture is his triple air cleaners. But he does use the dual snorkel in some show. He did have thin line WWs and talked him into the wide whites.

I always liked Opel GTs. They are one of several cars made by many different manufacturers that the performance didn't match the looks.

This Opel GT belonged to a friend of mine. In this case the performance did match the looks!

I had a plastic model Opel GT. It had the option to build it with a blown V-8.
That's how it was built!!

That car has way too much class for wide whites. Design is decades ahead in styling. Simply irresistible. Be tempted to trade a split window for a twin , white, red interior.

Recently I sat in a 62 Chrysler letter car convert. 2X4s and a dash that doubles as a globe . Another 62 hardtop being painted white with 9' quarter panels. Talk about the size of an ark......

I was obsessed with the 63 coupe since I saw one when I was 7yrs. old. Told my mom "I'm gonna get one" I did in 1989 and have had it since.
I would like to find my old Camaro I bought in 1981. It was a RS SS 396 4spd convertible. All original sold it to get money for my future Vette.
Camaro went to Pa. Still looking.
