Dreams come true
I am 56. When I was a kid eveyone else had hot rods but i nor my folks had the means. I survived. My brother and some friends had 'Vettes but they never did anything for me. I always thought that the Cobra was the biggest and hairiest set of balls in the world. Last summer I bought a Contemporary from a childhood friend who had one built with a side oiler. He had taken it out onto the highway here in Maryland and "gave it some gas". He did a donut on a 4 lane highway in HEAVY traffic.  After recovering from a near coronary on the side of the road, he drove it home and never drove it again. I bought it for a song. It has 1147 miles and has not been started in 17 years. I am very close to cranking it up. Life is good. Pictures in the gallery.
