Multiple cars over the years but the two that would be worth quite a bit today are,

1965 GTO convertible, 389, three deuces, 4 sp, 12 bolt posi. Factory built.

'67 Mustang GT, S code (390), 4spd
But I still feel the pain of one that my father let get away:
'69 Hurst Olds convertible (1 of 3 built of which one was crashed and burned up). My father worked at Hurst and it was his company car and he could have bought it for $2,500. Linda Vaughn (Miss Hurst Golden Shifter) was given the other one. Here is a pic of the car (not sure who's): http://www.quartermilestones.com/pho...ann2/RMLV2.jpg

Petroleum Transfer Engineer
I’ve owned better than 65 different cars (and bikes)over the years but some of the most memorable would have to be:
1967 Nova SS (2 of 'em)
1967 Chevelle SS 396 (with 454 NOM)
1969, 1972 Plymouth Roadrunners
1967, 1974, 2001 Z06, Corvettes
1971, 1977, 1996 Porsche 911, 1965 356
1997 BMW M3
1970, 1971 MGB/Midget
1965, 1970 VW Bug, 1966 VW Van, 1979 Scirroco
1966 Mercedes 220S sedan
1969 Ford Cortina GT
1970 Triumph 650cc Bonneville
1961, 1966 XKE’s
Most memorable experience: Getting to drive my big brother’s friends 1969 COPO Camaro that had a 427 motor and 4-speed in it when I was all of 17 years old, up and down Woodward Avenue while I was working as a “Petroleum Transfer Engineer” at the Standard gas station at Woodward and 14 Mile while in High School. Man, what a trip that was!

The shifter boot doesn't look right - those cars had a dual gate set-up, but I do know that my dad said that Hurst made a performance modification to it and a byproduct of it was you couldn't tell what gear it was in visually (so my mom wouldn't drive it). Anyway, I sent the link to him, so we will see.

Lost a 69 Boss 302. It had 36,000 miles on it sitting under a tree for 12 years. Broken rocker arm and left to sit. He wanted $1500 for it. Wanted $100 down to hold it. Had $20 in my wallet. Told him to hold it till I ran to the bank. Got to the bank and called him back. Somebody was already putting it on a trailer. Jim
