Here is one I built in 1962 or so. Sold it to buy a brand new 1965 GTO. Sold the GTO to buy a new 1967 Firebird 400. Sold it to buy a new 1970 Firebird Formula 400 Ram Air.

The Studebaker had a 414 cubic inch Cadillac engine and stick Hydramatic.

My 98 GS300 makes it slightly easier though.

anthony just my opinion.

i think that 92 and 93 SC 300 &400's are amoung the most beautiful cars ever built. such classic lines. i just get all tingly whenever i see one. i wanted an SC400 more than i could put into words. .

but i need 4 doors and the GS400 is a mighty fine looking car.
not to mention it goes faster than the SC400.

once in a while i miss my '97 4 runner.

sometimes i miss my '91 bmw 325is.

but what i miss the most is my thule rack which you see on the cars. i have had that rack since 1992. over the years, i accumulated lots of goodies for it like bike rack, boat rack, ski rack, etc. i had to give them all up to a friend since THULE does not support Lexus SportCross / IS300's. i have to go with Yakima since they do have adapters for roofs without raingutters. now, i have to build my rack from scratch again.

thule does not make adapters to fit the gutterless roofs really bothers me.

p.s. some of you might have seen my white bimmer picture which was missing the passenger side mirror due a little accident i had with my garage. well, since i was bored, i decided to PS the mirror back to restore its old glory since i did get that fixed for real. i need to scan in more of my old white bimmer photos...dang, i wish we had digital cameras back in those days.

But it went to good hands by an enthusiast up in Colarado.
