Here's my current ride. 1965 LeMans. Bought it on eBay for $1900 in 2001, flew out to Morgantown, WVa and drove it home.
By the way, the picture was taken with a classic too. My 1947 Rolleiflex. Analog rules! I'll take grain over pixels any day!

Sometimes I want grain. Took this shot in NM with Kodak TMax 400 just for the grain.
Sounds like you made out like a bandit on that photo gear, congrats.
Yeah, I've still got about 800 LPs and still listen to them. Sometimes I'll even fire up the reel-to-reel.

Okay. If you're here within the next 3 minutes then it's yours, providing you
can get past Prunette.

I'm going crazy to see the car.

Okay, now you've got 2 minutes... Prunette is loading her AK-47 for some

Latest update on the Model.
The upholsterer called and told Prunette that a nest of mice must have lived
in the seat at some time. He had to replace quite a lot of stuffing.

We're going to Chickasha on Friday to pick up the tires and see if we can
pick up a few items for the car.

Everything is lookin' good!

Yeah, we're happy with that guy's work! LOL!
There's another photo with the primer and some sanding. He's going to
start painting it in about 2 weeks.

Yesterday we picked up the tires at the Chickasha Swap Meet and bought
front and rear chrome bumpers, a floor mat, door handles, grommets for the
window handles and a bunch of other goodies.

Kewanee Green for the lower and reveals and Elkpoint Green for the upper.
Everything else will be black. The man thinks he can get us a new or
barely used radiator. That'll be nice.

I'll try to put some more shots of the progress! I'm going to work at
Mickey Mantle's tonight.

While not a timeless old classic like the rest of yours (and yes, I am drooling), last year I finally bought the car that I wanted when I first got my license...a 1983 Datsun 280ZX, with the digital dash and t-tops. Drove it home for $500, then immediately started the restore process. I hope to have it complete by next spring.

Here's a photo I found. It was taken about 2 years ago while it was snowing.

We saw the car today. The man says he's about 1 hour away from having it
ready to paint. We took the paint codes, door handles, weather stripping and
a few other things to the garage today. It's looking good!

http://www.okctalk.com/members/prunepicker-albums-model-picture133-snow-model-3.jpg

The car has been in the family since 1968 or so. The color you see now was
done by the restorers wife as a surprise. She bought a bunch of spray paint
from TG&Y and did it herself. Too funny!

Met my wife 11/17/70. She had a black 1964 Buick Electra 225. We still have it in storage. I should probably sell it but I can't bring myself to do it. We took it on our honeymoon in June of 1972 and it just glided like a cloud as we did over 90 mph on the parts of I-40 that were finished. 400 cubic inches, 4 barrel carb (Rochester 4-Jet - not Quadrajet, 4-Jet, a much simpler carb to rebuild which I've done several times). Trivia - anyone know what significance the 225 has?

My guess is either horsepower in the Buick electra 225, or since there are many different years and engine types, I would guess it is like a boats name in that 225 means length. Like the boats have that number after their name meaning length.
