I must be a boomer because “they don’t make them like this anymore”.

I may have posted the vid before. Some Derek Hill guy driving a red car. And a pic I took of another red car. Red is the fastest color.

Good man. Thanks for asking. Bored. Work sucks but I found a groove and a whip to crack. Been “playing” guitar.

You? How’s the better half?

I friend of mine that lived down the street had a '67 GTO with a 389. It was a dark blue.

We have those. Had em in Colorado too. Good ones. Fun times.

We didn’t race a lot but we had some moments. Three close calls I can think of on my bikes. One at the pikes peak hill climb on a beer run at dusk with a friend on back carrying a case. They wouldn’t have found us for days.

That is a great video. He drives that Ferrari like I did when I was fours hours late leaving the watering hole.

Damn, that was a pucker moment for sure. We had a few hills where I grew up.

I launched my 74 Cadillac sedan D'ville over the railroad tracks one night, about a 3 foot rise, it didn't fly well.

I think that guy has some racing pedigree or something. Here he is again. I know I posted this one. Watched it once or twice too. He’s really late here. Lol

We are lucky to be alive indeed.

A cousin on my moms side had one of these about the same year (69) also blue. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Tell Blondie not to lick all the salt off the rim, to much salt is bad for her!

You have to watch the whole vid. Yes they customize some of them (probably to customer order). No they are not “concours” because not original. Probably better. 4,000 hours per restoration, all work done in house. Send them a box of parts and they will return a turn key auto for a fixed price. The kicker is they only do two a year.
