[Nowhere Man]

Now, I know that both of you seem to be enthusiasts for old(as in pre-1980) cars, and I do NOT really like to DRIVE old cars. I like to look at them and ride in them, but I do not wish to OWN one, as a daily(or otherwise) driver. I am into hi-tech, and like cars with touch screens, computer control, Fuel injection, Distributorless ignitions, digital instruments, electronic(as in LCD) mirrors, etc. I owned an olds Trofeo previously, and two Rivieras, all of which had the computer screen. I loved all 3, the Olds in particular, was a great car. Quite fast, reliable, and a LOT of fun to drive.

I have a 1977 Mercury Cougar that I'd like to get back on the road sometime, that is if I keep going in my process of getting my "ducks in a row." We bought it new in 1977, well my mother did. I have a thing for old, lumbering "land yachts," I could probably launch F-4 Phantoms from my Cougar's hood. B-) It has a 302 engine, I could probably get 250 to 300 HP out of it if I disconnect the thermactor pump and put a 4 barrel carb onto it.

My dream cars, well, a 1965 Ford Galaxie would be cool:



Or a 1968 Buick Wildcat:



And for "craps and giggles," an AMC Gremlin, a 1977 Model shown here:



Oh, yes, a prototype 4x4 (1977) van based on the Gremlin but never made, cannot leave the SUV crowd in the dust. B-) Being 1977, I would choose something from "Star Wars" as the van art. B-)



I'm car happy, I could go on, but I've posted enough B-)

You dig cars? I want a red 1965 Sunbeam Tiger convertible, the car Maxwell Smart drives in the tv series 'Get Smart.' :-)
