That's too cool!
 Who remembers Cookie in his 'vette. The show was called "Route 66" I believe.

If you are any kind of gear head at all you would love that. I hate to admit it but I was there when it happened. I guess that makes me old huh?

Re: Nostalgic... "The Cars we Drove"
Would love to see that done for the next generation...late 60's muscle cars and our trucks.

Re: Nostalgic... "The Cars we Drove"
I guess it's up to us to make it happen. I've offered to help my grand kids build an old truck and no takers.

Being a few years after you guys... I drove a 69 road runner, nothing power 'cept for the 440 six pack.  Used to run consistent mid 12's at the local track w/closed exhaust & street tires.

Kurt, I was goin' to raise the flag on you but I thought it would be impolite, best we could do with that car was mid 13's, but it wasn't a 6pac. Soooooooooo, I'll keep the flag down Agree, was some of the best times

That's it! Sorry about that. New I could count on you guys to straighten me out. My rides were mainly imports: MGB, MGC, Spitfire, Bug until I stepped up to a 68 Camero RS, 327, 4spd........ I loved that car, but insurance killed it for me. Later I went with a 65 Mustang Fastback, bought for $300 back in the day. Proceeded to completely rebuild it with all the Shelby parts I could find. Wish I still had that one.
