Most of the vehicles that I have owned over the years are not shown here for various reasons, from "I don't have pictures of them (Or I can't find them). Here is a list of those that I can remember (In order as best I remember); '48 Plymouth coupe, '42 Ford Business Coupe, '29 Model "A" Ford 4 door Phaeton, '49 Ford Coupe (My first hotrod), '50 Ford 2 Dr. Sedan, '56 Ford 2 Dr. Hardtop, '63 Ford 300 (427CID 425HP), and lastly my 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo. There was a GMC 4 wheel drive (Same as a Blazer) and a Chevy "Dually" but I forget the year models. I did have one more motorcycle, a 1964 Honda SuperHawk (305cc). I think most everything else is shown here. The first series of photos is on my 1967 Ford Mustang which I bought new in 1967. In 1969 I turned it into a bit of a hot rod/drag race car. Sadly, I do not have any photos of the car in stock configuration. These photos show it going from a mild hop-up to a "B" Modified Production low 9 second strip only car. The next series is of my 1969 Ford Talladega (One of only 742 made for retail sales), that I bought to pull the Mustang to and from the drag strips. The next series is my 1983 "15th Anniversary Hurst Olds". The car looked good but that little old lady from Pasadena could have outrun it on her crutches! What a shame that GM could not have made it a "runner" - California and U. S. smog controls, killed it! The next 3 photos are of the only Camaro that I ever owned. If I remember correctly, it was a 1991. And here is my beast, my 1998 Hummer, my wall climber! I drove it and the Chrysler Hemi on a daily basis (shown next), both of which I traded in (June, 2011). Next is my 2005 Chrysler 300 C that I have "warmed up" a little, I will never tell, it has surprised a few unsuspecting souls!! The new owner loves it too! The last 2 series are 2 of the 3 motorcycles that I have owned, the first of the 2 is my 1979 Yamaha XS-11 Special. The last one is my 1986 Yamaha VMX (V-Max). The V-Max would have been a good race for the Mustang, but at the end of the day, the 'Stang would have done a number on the bike. On the 7th of June 2011 I traded the Hummer and the Chrysler 300C for a new 2011 Ford Shelby GT 500 Mustang.. My first stick shift since I traded off my Porsche 944 Turbo (No photos of it) in '91 for the Camaro. The Shelby pumps out 550HP and 510 Ft. Lbs. of torque. Needless to say, it is a blast to drive!
