Any Other Vintage Owners Beside Me?
In the last few years, I sold a 68 Cougar that I had owned for about 10 years. Then I had a 73 VW Super Beetle for a bit, sold that and replaced it with a 67 Beetle. Recently sold that, next one coming soon is a 66 T-Bird. I had my eye on a 61 Bird, but the owner can't get the registration for Ontario sorted out currently after bringing it up from South Carolina a few years ago.
The Cougar:
The 73 Beetle on the way back from Calgary:
The 67 Beetle:
I'll post a few pics of the 66 Bird when I get it. Solid California car, (dead) original paint, 390/C6, about 100,000 miles ... will be a nice summer driver.
cheers

Congrats guys, some good looking vintage cars there.
Here's what I have, its a 1968 that I've had for about 17 years.
Other than the paint job it came with I have redone, replaced or modified every thing on this vehicle imaginable. Since I got the vehicle we have put close to 50,000 miles on it cruising and going to MCA shows, some as far away as Birmingham Ala.
Here are some of the mods;
Hartz cloth top on a completely restored top mechanism
93 mustang seats custom upholstered in leather with matching rear leather seating
Shelby "roll" bar with custom LED third brake light
Electric Life power windows, front and rear with console mounted switches
3 point seat belts
Remote door and trunk locks
Custom Auto Sound radio with power antenna
Driver side A pillar Gauges with Auto meter voltmeter and AFR
White face Dash gauges
Led Lighting in the interior and door
"Rostra" electronc cruise control
Grant leather wrapped steering wheel
"Global" subframe connectors
Four wheel disk brakes with Lincoln MK VII on the rear
Custom made LED sequential tail lights
3.25 rear gears
AOD transmission modified to Baumann specifications
331 roller motor with edelbrock heads and intake
Holley 670 Street Avenger carb
Classic Auto Air A/C with polished compressor with custom made billet mount
Polished 3G 130 amp alternator with billet mount
Custom made gas cylinder hood hinges - not purchased
Custom made stainless steel hardware
and a lot of stuff too numerous to remember.
