1970 Camaro, I put my heart into her, had her while I was in the army in the early 80s, the engine was a 383 topped with nitrous, I found a set of double hump heads in the junk yard and took them with me when I went out in the field maneuvers in the army to work on them since I was a mechanic in the army, I port and polished them on maneuvers lol, it was a California car and I would clean the engine with a baby cloth diaper but I tried to use as little bit of chrome as possible under the hood. She was a automatic and would get rubber in all three gears, fast forward 40 years later and keep telling my self I would have one by the age of 50 but here I am at 56 and still don’t have one and now the price of them for a decent one is slipping out of my range. Thanks for liking the one that got away!!!

What a gorgeous little beast...😁
BMW 3.0 Csl.....the original; irresistible one.
The one that got away? I've been lucky enough to own some of the greatest muscle cars ever produced by Pontiac - RA I, II, III, IV & 455HO GTO's, Judges, LeMans, Trans Am's & Formulas - both hard tops & convertibles. But the one that got away, and the only car I am currently looking to replace is my 69 Trans Am. After looking and missing out on one for years, I found this one & bought it in 2006 with the agreement that if I ever sold it, the seller would get 1st chance to buy it back. John was a great owner, a mechanic who had cared for the car meticulously and a single father trying to buy a house for himself & his daughter. After buying the car in May & enjoying for the summer I got a call in the fall - John had inherited some money and desperately wanted it back...so I sold it to him. Currently looking for it's replacement.
This was the Yorkshire MotoSports Jaguar that the team ran in the late 70's and early 80's:
It was sold off when the team moved into the CanAm series...
I was part of the team then and wish I would have bought it, as I always thought it would have been a great "resto-mod" project to make it into a wicked street piece!!!
As always - - - hind sight is 20/20!!!

Back in 1999 I built this 1974 Porsche 914 with the Rayco 986 kit. I love this car. I sold it in 2005 when I got devorced. The same owner still has it. Maybe someday he will sell it back to me. Until then...

I bought it in 1983 and still own it. Still original and love driving it and it gets a lot of thumbs up.
