Any chance you are from NYC and were in Hershey, PA this past weekend?

It's possible you met my parents this weekend if so. My father has a Black / Crema Z8 as well.

Not I, kind sir - there are several roaming around these parts, however

1968 Triumph GT6 - small dent on the nose recently. Will be executing a repaint shortly. It's dirty and has stickers on it because I was on a rally when this pic was taken.

The dash:

1965 Rambler American - nice cushy american car for the highway. Photo from the add when I bought the car.

1971 Ford (Mercury) Capri - just sold this one last week actually. Looking to replace it with an Alfa Romeo.

I don't have a modern car. It's one of the vintage autos for my 50 mile per day commute.

Love your cars. All of them have style

My wife wants to buy a 70s era 450SL. I know nothing about cars. Is this a decent enough auto? What to look for? Out for?

Thanks Guys!

Jet - It's a Capri, not a Gremlin. Here's a back shot:

Though I do agree that it is not as stylish as the others. That is really a function of when the car was designed. It's a 70s car through and through, while the others are 60s cars.

It was a fun car to own for a few months, and it is very respected in the community, but just not for me long term.

I happen to think Gremlins are cool in a tongue-in-cheek way.

Fantastic car. My favorite BMW after the 507. Not many of them around...

Get a 280SL instead, if you can afford it. Multiples more, but 280's have far more investment potential.

Looks like he does formula drift. With $1000 for tires each weekend it doesn't leave much left for making the car stylish.

A neighbor of mine has a '78 that he raves about. He's had it for 5 or so years and hasn't had to put a lot of money into it. I drove it once and really enjoyed it.
