David48 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 And the 1967 Spyder ... like the Mustang in the post above ... a shape which is still attractive today. All variants of the same model by a year or two. . Always really liked that car but got very close to buying the Jaguar XJ-S. Indeed, also a classic look. But you know their nick-name (well amongst us disrespectful Aussies anyway) ... all Jags are 'Time-Share' cars as you you time-share all Jags with your Mechanic. As a suitable pun (maybe) Jags ... like a lovely Thai lady, beautiful lines, great performance, go like stink when pushed ... unfortunately, not that reliable ...

mcyachty Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) 1970 Holden Monaro, V8 253 with double Holley. After my first 2 cars being a 1956 and a 1974 Landrovers, the Monaro was a blast. Also lost a license and learnt a lesson. Slow Down!

LotusBoy Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Bought when I was 24, VW Golf Rallye G60 (Atlas Grey). In my 20's I had 3 Mk2 Golf GTI's, 1 Mk3 GTI and Mk3 VR6, but this Rallye was the nuts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinCityGr8One Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I have been lucky enough to have a few cool cars. #1 was a 1968 Pontiac GTO brand spanking new out of the dealer when I was 18. Then the following were all used vehicles starting with a 1965 Buick Riviera. Then, a 1964 Chevy Chevelle SS. On to , a 1967 Pontiac Tempest. Finally, that explosive gas can on wheels, a 1974 Ford Pinto, named by Forbes Magazine to be one of the "Worst cars of All Time" WooHoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt1591 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I was always fortunate back then. I didn't own any of the"cool" cars. I only owned VWs and mini trucks. But, I had ready access to friends' and relatives' cool cars, such a '57 T-Bird, '63 split window Vette, a Chevelle SS 396, a GTX, a Road Runner, a Datsun 2000, an MGB-GT and, one of my favorites, a Morgan. I was able to enjoy the fun, without the maintenance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique355 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I started very modestly with a Mini (not even a Cooper), but after a accident, it shrunk to roughly 1m x 1m x 1m Next was a Fiat 128, great car, loved it and drove all around Europe. Then a SAAB 99. Pro: evelasting - Con: everlasting and then a short intermezzo with a Ford Granada 2.8 iLS (Sold after 9 month, you know ... FORD = Fixed Or Repaired Daily) Finally a VW Golf GTi and that concludes my 20ies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 1967 GTO, bought it in 1973 in San Diego from a wrecking yard for 50 Bucks, sold it nine months later with a blown (389) engine for 600 Bucks, big sigh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidlady Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 A Merkur Xr4ti. It was very fast and the Roccoco(?) leather seats were the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in (in a car)... beat Mercedes seats for comfort. I wanted to take them out and put them in my next car but mechanic convinced me it would cost too much to do it. Broke my heart to sell itwhen the engine went at about 160,000 miles. I ended up selling it for parts after it was no longer made and made quite a bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
