My best friend and fellow model railroader also has a few cars/motorcycles........'60s BSA's in the fore ground, the GTO is a Ground up, numbers matching restoration that took a Concourse Gold Ribbon at the National Convention two years ago. If you look closely you'll see the nose of a blue '71 Firebird in the next carpeted stall over, it's an equally fine restoration.

Among the classics you have to include the Corvettes and among the modern muscle cars you have to include the 2010 Camaros on up. Great handling for Chevrolets... of course I'm a little biased. ;)

Someday the garage ornament that I have had since 1980 will run under its own power again. I blew it up (again) in about 2002. It's a 1968 Camaro convertible, currently painted 2000 Corvette yellow. It started life with a 327 and Powerglide, but got a 4-speed shortly after I got it. That was an adventure wrestling with trannies in the gravel driveway. No butt bows, unfortunately. Then I proceeded to blow it up a couple times and replace the engine a couple times. It's got a 350 sitting in it right now, but I haven't finished bolting everything back together. Beats me if it will even turn over by now, but oh well. I keep threatening to finish it someday. I'll probably have to get all the parts I need, then take a week off work, since I have forgotten how everything goes back together again. That's the problem with being strictly shade tree. You do everything exactly once in 20 years, so the next time you have to do it, you don't remember what you did.

What I really ought to do is finish it and sell it, since it's just a bigger, ponderous version of the cars I really like. Give me a 1954 to 1962 Triumph TR-2 or TR-3 and I'll be a happy person. The Camaro actually handles reasonably well for what it is, though. It currently has disk brakes and steering gear from a '69 Z-28 and some other small tweaks to get it to turn and stop. Straight lines never interested me very much.

This is what I really want!

Hell, I'd even take the ES Wagon. My biggest concern? I'm not sure I could get in/out of it(knees,"spare tire",etc.):smug:
