Not a daily driver but I try to get it out more often than 3 days a year!

It's not particularly fast (has a stovebolt 6 in it) not the most elegant (whaddya want- it's a truck!) but it's a head-turner and it's paid for.

The ‘71 Mach 1 is a great looking car, but the problem with it is rear visibility. When you sit in the driver’s seat, the angle of the back-light gives you an effective view of only about one foot in height.

Obscure reference from the movie "Gumball Rally":

Franco: "And now my friend, the first-a rule of Italian driving...
[Franco rips off his rear-view mirror and throws it out of the car]
FRanco: "What is-a behind me is not important!"

Forgot to add my dad’s 1970 500 c.i. front wheel drive Eldorado. It would eat hemi “Cuda’s” stop light to stop light.

1965 327 Corvette. It was cool but I wasn’t impressed with the performance and getting in on with my girlfriend behind the seats was tricky.

LOL! Italian accents can be hilarious. I grew up with Italian families in Detroit. So , I know.
