Cal -- it gets even better. Some other cars in the neighborhood -- no exaggeration:

Panteras (2 -- same owner; one after the other)
Jag e-type convertible w/12 cyl
Jag e-type couple w/12 cyl
Lamborghini Espada
'67 GTO
'70 Nova (don't laugh -- highly built up, one of the quickest cars I've ever been in up to about 100 mph "rubber in all four gears...")
'72 Grabber Maverick w/302
'73 Gran Torino w/351 CJ
'73 450 SL (my Dad's -- bought it new in '73. Mom sold it a year ago...)
'72 Cutlass w/455
'75 Hurst Olds
'69 Mustang w/351 Windsor. (We used to say -- gee, just a standard Windsor? LOL)

This was all in a small suburb 25 miles SW of Chicago. And I'm probably forgetting something... No WONDER I'm such a "car guy"!
