I bought my first convertible in 1975.  It was a 1969 Camaro 307 auto with 70,000 miles and it cost $700. I have since own 26 other mostly 1960's ragtops over the years and currently still own number 20 and 25.  I bought my 1964  Comet in 2002 from a one owner estate.  I took me 2 years to completely restore it including its original 289 4v 4 speed.  It is a heavily optioned car including dealer installed dual rear antenna and dual spot side mirrors.  Number 25 is my first custom rebuild.  It is  a 1965 Comet roadster that started life as a 4 door sedan with 28 inches of its rear seat section removed.  I'm rebuilding it as a funny car tribute to the Jack Chrisman and Don Nicholson era cars that set NHRA records in the mid '60's. I've owned some very nice cars and think I still have a couple builds left in me.  I have never restored an import but show no bias to the big three car makers here in the Motor City.  My Mercury stable keeps me busy in my retirement and I enjoy the time driving and showing them.
