Default Re: Cars you've owned previously...

I have owned a lot of cars but few I really miss. Three that I do miss are:
  • 1954 Studebaker Starliner Coupe with a Packard V8 and overdrive transmission. For it's day, it was a screamer (light years ahead of that that new six cylinder Chevy Corvette that everyone knows will not amount to a thing!)
  • 1967 SS Chevelle with the 375 HP, 396 engine and solid lifters (NASCAR rated it at 425 HP). A wonderful straight line powerhouse.
  • 1969 Porsche 911S. Bought this one in Germany and used it over there. A real slot car but needed tinkering from time to time.
The odd thing is that the SRT6 has captured some of the best of these vehilces. It may not be as comfortable but it sure is a road car!
