So many years, so many photos. 25 year professionally before I switched to IT work. I'd still be shooting for a living if the money was better but it only got worse. Now everyone with a phone is a photographer.

When my GL was used for a Dukes of Hazzard meet and greet. Both Tom and Catherine took pics with me and signed the car (John wasn't there but had already signed it).

35 years ago watching it on TV I never thought it would be my car let alone have the chance to meet them.

Default I bought a Ford engine!

So I bought this Ford 347 stroker engine. Guy needed money and was a good deal. All new parts, forged rotating assy, aluminum heads, roller cam, roller rockers, and manual flywheel. Now what do I do with it?

Default Aunt's Cuda

Heck here is a pic of my Aunt's 1970 Cuda she bought brand new and done a block long burnout in front of our house before heading to Beech Bend to Drag race it all weekend!
30K miles, cousin blew it up in 83 and it sat until 3 years ago when they rebuilt the engine but now it sits again, I snuck a peak in the garage this past Thursday to make sure its still there.

Found this beautiful GP just sitting there in a grocery store parking lot. I was on a run to a hardware store for a plumbing project when I saw it, I pulled in to give it a look see and talk to the owner but after 20 minutes I had to go. It was absolutely perfect.

A little lighter blue with a black vinyl top. I don't ever remember it being painted but you can see a few little chips around the decal.

Man, I'd be pestering them everyday until I convinced them to sell me that! I think I'd go crazy knowing my family member had a 70 Cuda just sitting around doing nothing. lol

My Father picked up this 95 Pace Car a few weeks back. It's got 36k original miles, and is perfect in every way. It even had the original tires on it, although they were switched for new Nitto tires. Still have the originals.

It's pretty nifty. The interior is a cool two tone black and purple leather to match the exterior. It's 1 of only 527 made.

They also have their 62 Plymouth Sport Fury 361 Golden commando they bought new also that has been a drag car since day 1. Uncle even held a world record with it for a while.
But they live like white trash and wouldn't even consider selling either of them.
Its sad but are old now and in very bad health, the two boys will end up with them and sold to who knows who but it won't be me, just one of those things that wont come together no matter how much I would offer.

Here's a couple of pics I took. You have to look real close at first pic before you figure out what it is, the second is a cell tower they tried to camouflage. Tallest pine 🌲 I've ever seen.

First pic looks like it was taken at Walt Disney worlds animal kingdom. I saw the subject of that photo freak out a bunch of teenage girls that were in front of me.
