I have been hanging around on Guru for almost a year and have enjoyed getting to know everyone. I have also enjoyed the help I have gotten with my 90 and continue to get.

I was going through some stuff the other day and found these pictures and thought you might like to see some of the cars I have owned over the last 40 some years. I wished I had most of them back.

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00005-20100730-1828.jpg[/IMG]

TeeBee will like this one.

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00007-20100730-1829.jpg[/IMG]

My first Vette a 65 two top roadster. Great car!

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00008-20100730-1830.jpg[/IMG]

71 454 390 hp. Lots of fun!

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00009-20100730-1831.jpg[/IMG]

79 L82 This car burned up in a shop fire.

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00012-20100730-1835.jpg[/IMG]

Found this under a tree in a guys back yard in 1988. Every thing was original. 300 hp 4 speed.

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00013-20100730-1836.jpg[/IMG]

Here is the car at the Concours in Spearfish in 1990. Where it won its class.

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00015-20100730-1837.jpg[/IMG]

Main street show in Spearfish.

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00021-20100730-1851.jpg[/IMG]

Hated this car. It could scare you real quick.

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00023-20100730-1852.jpg[/IMG]

Sturgis 1974. Ahh young and free with a long springer front end.

[IMG]http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad155/Ultraman59/IMG00028-20100730-1858.jpg[/IMG]

You're right, that one looks very much like my old 500. Mine was silver with a black vinyl top.....

BTW, I like all the cars you've had......

Thanks Ron, I figured out early if I got the family involved then things went a lot smoother when it was time to spend some bucks or go to a car show or run. The kids are gearheads so I figure I did my job. I have 2 daughters one lives in SoCal, one's in college and a son who is 16 and really into Mopars.

That's very smart.
I was never into taking pics of my cars and I'm beating my head against the wall because I didn't.

I did the same thing! Had a bunch of cool cars but never took pics. Still don't! I think its because knowone ever wanted to see pics especially of cars "back in the day" Have family pics!
