...I still own a 69 Daytona, but I wish I had never sold this F6 Green one...it was in many many books and magazines...it was a one owner car with 10K original miles when I purchased it in 1981...I put 15K miles on it over the next 7 years, lots of car shows, used it as a daily work vehicle and it also served duty as my "service truck" when I repaired Coke Fountains for Coke USA in the mid 1980s...440 4-spd

Sold it to buy a Vette...aargh !!!

This one wasn't quite that deluxe. It was a 350 2V, bench seat. Bought it in 79 for $100.00. Kind of a brown color, with a gold interior.

1967 Buick GS 400 convertible. Purchased in 1982 in original condition, just turned 100k miles, and included the typical Michigan rust. Was not highly optioned but a great cruiser. Remember when I rebuilt the motor, I removed the "400" sticker off of one of the valve covers and what I believe a production worker wrote under the sticker "This is Ford Country". I did sell it for a 69 GTO convertible - no regrets!

I also pulled out a dozen new trucks out of mud, snow and even two trucks sunk in a creek. lol I would get calls at 4 in the morning, Hey Mazz can you bring the Beast out the woods I'm stuck in a ditch. I always keep tow chains and tow straps in it. I miss that truck and so do all my bonehead friends that need to get towed. I sold it because the body was shot but still ran great. Here is last I seen it as was towed away. Now I see a company re-makes these beauties at a hefty price. http://www.icon4x4.com/overview/fj/models

What is your??????
I had one of those FJ40's when I was stationed on Kodiak Island in the mid nineties. Mine was in great shape, fresh paint on a solid body. I put auburn limited slip's in the front and rear. That thing would climb hills steep enough to scare passengers. The axles were as fat as baseball bats. Basically a 3/4 ton jeep in my opinion. Yours looked like the rest of the FJ40's on Kodiak, beat up rust buckets.

Coincidentally I saw one of these driving around yesterday. I was impressed... but more so by how rusty it was for a California car - had old plates on it so it likely wasn't a transplant.

1971 Judge, white with a flat black spoiler, at the time I thought the guy replaced the spoiler, and he was to cheap to paint it. Even suspected weather or not its was real. Well, the car was real and the spoiler was a factory option. you guys can correct me, but I believe Polar white was the only color that could be ordered with a black spoiler. Other than a black car.

It would have be my 1962 Super Duty Catalina with the aluminum front end & 12,000 original miles when I bought it in 1974. I paid a whopping $2,000.00 when I bought it. Sold it to buy a house.
