I seldom used the car, it was better to find it a new home<br /><br /><b>Trobairitz:</b><br /><br />two wheels are better. even now, I barely use the "vette. this year I have to use it more and perhaps take a vacation in it<br /><br /><b>BB:</b><br /><br />It makes sense to put an auto trans into it to make it more usuable. There are lots of reproduction places now, but some parts are rare and hard to find<br /><br /><b>Ms M:</b><br /><br />I know you are a "car guy", and like fast cars and sloooowww men, right ? The 1970 model was very sleek looking. I knew someone who bought a new one back then, and it went like a rocket. In 1968 I bought a 1967 Mustang convertible, it was auto with 289ci engine. I have had lots of convertibles<br /><br /><b>Jack:</b><br /><br />I am far from a show off and I don't flaunt things. My first car was a 1956 Chevy 2l0 2 dr post with three on the tree, 6 cyl<br /><br /><b>Dar:</b><br /><br />with collector status, you can drive everyday, anywhere, just not to work and you have to have another insured vehicle in your name. If you bought another newer bike as a daily rider, then you could insure Scarlett as collector status and only pay around $150. per year for collector plates and leave it insured all year.<br /><br /><b>Troubadour:</b><br /><br />I also had a 68 Barracuda 2 dr HT, called notchback, back then to differentiate from the fastback model. I had a 318ci torque-flight auto.<br /><br /><b>Bluekat;</b><br /><br />having a convertible may be better than a bike. you don't need a helmet, you can feel the wind in your hair, you have a roof if it rains, and a trunk to store stuff. we used to have a Miata and I think it is the perfect size, small and reliableAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-49637837816353899702012-02-22T17:22:56.763-08:002012-02-22T17:22:56.763-08:00Beautiful Firebird.

He's drooling all over the keyboard!<br /><br />We've decided when we can no longer do the two-wheel rides, we're going convertible!<br /><br />We've had a muscle car or two in the past. When I met Ron he had a 72 Camaro, which is why I went out with him. :)Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-44274339076583745312012-02-22T13:05:48.267-08:002012-02-22T13:05:48.267-08:00I had collector plates on my '69 Barracuda.

Not long after it became my daily driver so I had to surrender the collector plates. I too miss it sometimes, but then I remember that I much prefer to be riding on two wheels than polishing four.Troubadourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567767701065756330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-39822953244540569492012-02-22T12:49:35.149-08:002012-02-22T12:49:35.149-08:00What a gorgeous car!

I thought about putting collector plates on Scarlet, but then I wouldn't be able to ride her every day, no point in that.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-31278220689811944972012-02-22T08:52:42.863-08:002012-02-22T08:52:42.863-08:00Dear Bobskoot:

He doesn’t care about making it a collector car. He just wants to drive it. He is converting it from a manual shift and steering to automatic. I tried to talk him out of the automatic trans, with no luck. He has trouble with his left knee and said he wants to drive the car, not just look at it. When he has to drive the flat bed semi at work; he has trouble for days after.biker babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472957923070962416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-13974233885376694662012-02-22T06:43:30.663-08:002012-02-22T06:43:30.663-08:00Pretty car.

Sounds like a good trade. <br /><br />And wouldn't you rather be riding on two wheels that sitting in a park at a car show while people wander by looking at your car?Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-16633376354746013182012-02-22T03:57:28.695-08:002012-02-22T03:57:28.695-08:00This is a very handsom car (I guess you can't ...This is a very handsom car (I guess you can't say pretty when it comes to muscle cars...).
