Who has the coolest toys?

[JasonLester]

That truck is sweet!!

I love the old cars more than most new ones for sure....They are like works of art in my eyes. Especialy when there is a history behind them...

Hi guys, I'm new here and there's no way I can compete with the stuff I'm seeing here but I'll still show some of mine.

I bought this new in 81. Three years ago I decided to do a restore and modify project on it and other than different tires/mirrors this is how it looks today.

My kids on my ATV riding around on the farm.

And although it's one of the smaller of my toys, it sure is fun.

No need to compete...Like you said its fun to see what others are into. Love that bike. BTW...and you gun collection...have a few of them myself...I've gotten into long distance rifle shooting lately... Not an easy task the father out there you go...as I am sure you are aware.

I'd love to get in to that myself, although I know my aim is not quite as steady now as it was years ago. I've watched a few vids of long distance varmint hunting and it looks very challenging. But whether it's targets or varmints, I'd like to try it out.

I parked the bike about 10 years back when it had some issues and just planned to restore it and give it to my son when I thought he was ready for it. He decided he wanted one of the more modern crotch rocket style bikes though so he got himself a triumph 1050. That's when I decided to do the restore and keep riding it myself. I ended up stripping it down to the frame and starting from the ground up with it.

BTW, that goat is one of my all time favorite cars and I'm very jealous of that. I've been watching and drooling over them since the day they rolled off the showroom floor and they still haven't lost that attraction for me. Got any more pics of it?

Oh tons...its a fun machine for sure. My dad had one very close to this one build wise when he was 17 (1967 i think) We got this one a while ago and did a bunch of work to it to make it right. The original motor is gone but it had a Pontiac 428 (original was a 389) so we put it back to the Tripower. If you've never driven a tripower car...its a blast.

I also have a pic of it I see pop up on ebay etc...people must like the pic as I know of at least two times they used my pic in their ad to sell a car. LOL I'll try to find it.

I like your style, Absolutely beautiful car

Here is the other pic I get to see other people using at times...LOL

I was late teens during the muscle car era and got to drive a wide variety of different setups. 65/66 were the GTO's best design ever. I'm not saying the 69 Judge wasn't nice but it just didn't compare. You've got one gorgeous car there.

 

[JasonLester]

I have to agree on the late 60's cars...mid 60's overall are better in my opinion. GTO being the best..

Thanks for the complements on mine...I really enjoy it.

Jason, that Goat is sweet! I've riden in a few of them in the day. I also still get chills when I see a straight '68 firebird. The only thing I had close to it was a Roadrunner,that use to get me in trouble. This is my toy today.

 

[JasonLester]

Those are COOL Bmac. I like them alot. Love the 68 firebird too...
