The greatest muscle car ever


1970 GTO "Judge" Holley 800 four barrel and posi traction rear end and real hood scoops that kept my gas mileage at about 10 miles to the gallon, but with gas at 30 cents a gallon, who cared?
I got one when I was 17. My father's first words were.."boy, you ain't man enough to drive a car like that.." He was probably right. I sure miss that car.

I had a 1968 GTO convertible. Sky blue with white top and interior. LOVED that car, but have no use for it today - don't want the gas bill!

Also had a 1966 Mustang 2+2 fastback (midnight blue with light blue interior) and a 1973 Dodge Charger (chocolate metallic brown with creme vinyl top and interior) and a 1976 Mercury Capri (now this was a hotter car than you might realize - a 6 cylinder in a vehicle the size of a Honda Civic - and a 4 speed. This baby was hard to get out of first gear without laying rubber!)

Happy with my 4 cylinder these days - gets me where I want to go without costing me an arm and a leg!

BTW - are you not going to say anything about today being the 10th anniversary of Jerry Garcia's passing????
