So what if they’re the original seats; who cares? I wouldn’t pay 9 cents for them. Although, there’s a sucker born every minute. Some people have more money than brains. ... View more

I’m thinking that it was an inadvertent typo, not an intentional sexist slight. The article was well written and provided excellent historical information on Porsche (the company) in America. Thanks, Hagerty. ... View more

That’s a beautiful redo of the P1800. Someone should do that with an early Porsche 911. Wait a minute - Singer already does that. I like them both. ... View more

Subtle mods can be used to make your car, your special car. I’ve had my one-owner 1971 Camaro SS350 since it was new. Most of the mods were completed in the ‘70s and were done to include features that I liked in earlier Camaros. For example, I added a replica cowl induction hood and 15” staggered-width Chevy rallye wheels (to replace the 14” ones), since I liked the way they looked. Also changed the cam and installed an Edelbrock manifold and Holley carb for better performance. And modified the transmission by adding a high-stall converter with manual shift valve body. All of the changes are reversible, so it can be returned to stock condition in the future. Although, after almost fifty years, it’s probably not going anywhere, at least not in my lifetime. My son says that after I’m gone, he’ll put my ashes in the ashtray and drive “me” around. 😂 ... View more

A nice looking, performance Mustang. And that’s high praise from a guy that still has his one-owner, 1971 Camaro Super Sport. If I were to buy a new pony car today, it would be a Mustang. Sweet ride. ... View more

I currently have two of my three faves. 1) 1971 Camaro SS350 I consider myself really fortunate that I was able to keep the Camaro that I bought new in 1971 for all these years. With only 36k miles, it’s never needed to be restored. I see it parked in my garage everyday and it never fails to bring a smile.   2) 2015 Porsche Cayman S I special ordered it in 2015 and it’s my first mid-engined sports car. I may be keeping this one a long time, too.   3) 1967 Corvette - 427 With Tri-Power I couldn’t afford one in 1967 and that situation hasn’t changed now. But, when I win the lottery...   ...

I agree with you, Tim. I’ve owned many cars over the years (like a lot of folks). Most of them have been “drivers”, but two of my purchases have been really special. In 1971 I bought my first high performance car, a custom ordered ‘71 Camaro SS 350. I fell in lust with that car and still have it after almost fifty years. After the first year it became my weekend fun car and I’m glad I was able to do that. I didn’t keep it low mileage (36,000) so that I could sell it and make a profit; it’s still my fun car, which I usually drive weekly. It even brings a smile to my face every time I look at it parked in my garage. After many years, I bought a new 2015 Porsche Cayman, my dream car. I don’t think I’ll ever sell that one either. It also gives my much joy, aka psychic rewards. Even though both cars are not daily drivers, they weren’t bought with the expectation of making a profit. The enjoyment I get from them is an ongoing, non-financial reward - worth every penny I’ve “invested” over the years. And if/when my son sells them after I’m gone (at a fair price), I hope the next owners enjoy them as much as I have. ... View more

I have a 1971 Camaro SS 350 that I bought new. It is “mostly” stock and/or stock appearing. Any engine modifications (cam, intake, carburetor, etc.) can be easily replaced with the stock items. Same with the custom Cowl Induction hood that wasn’t available on 2nd gen cars. I made my car, MY CAR. If someone doesn’t like what I’ve done they can change it back after they buy it. I’ve enjoyed driving MY CAR the way it is for almost 50 years and no one can tell me otherwise.  ... View more

I agree 100%. It’s your car, so do it the way YOU want. I understand that not everyone will agree about what you did to your car, but that’s their problem.  ... View more

Me, too. I’ve got my one owner, 36,000 miles, unrestored 1971 Camaro SS350, that I purchased new that year. I pinch myself every time I go for a ride (to pick up takeout, of course). ... View more
