My dad's 1958 Impala time capsule, purchased at Barrett-Jackson 10yrs ago. It's unreal how solid classics were originally. Most only experience them worn out or restored. Closing the door on this is like a closing a new S-Class door, like a vault.
11,xxx original miles.

Don't have a pic of mine on this pad but this is very similar. 64 Porsche 356C. 1600cc of raw power! Had it out today before it's tune up.
It's not that I don't have a pic on this device, it's just that I have never been able to successfully upload a photo on this site. Guess I need one of my kids to figure it out for me.
Mine are a bit newer, but still classified as antiques in Texas. I have a 1980 911SC and a 1986 944 Turbo. Drove them both today. The 911 has less than 90K original miles and the 944 about 100K. When I put gas in the 944 today I noticed in my log book the last time I got gas for it was April 2016.

83 Buick Riviera Convertible - great parade car, worthless for anything else
Dad and I switch around and trade cars, but I haven't been able to get this one from him:
He had a chance to get a 66 convertible but got snookered by a "friend." Man wanted $12k at the car show, "firm." Then called my Dad to see if Dad would pay $10k, which was a really good price. Dad's friend knew the car, so Dad called his friend to see if the car had any issues. TWo hours later, the "friend" buys the car out from under Dad.

No problem, ask away.
No cam swap needed, I run an electric Walbro 255 in-tank pump, stock injectors, rail, etc.

1944 Ford USMC Jeep:
My youngest son was in the Marines so he'll end up with this Jeep.
A really smooth riding car, because the station wagon adds some extra weight. It is not a Nomad. 57 Chevy Wagon:
We went to an auction and Dad got auction fever and bought this terrible 65 Buick Special. Laden with rust (and now relegated to a barn), it had a bad pairing of issues when we brought it home: carb would stick wide open and the brakes would fail. Dad, who was about 88 at the time, got in and the car took off, mowing down my sister's carport in the process. The car has a nice top, otherwise, it is an awful car.

One of the best looking "under the hoods" of the 50's - 1957 Chrysler 300 with a hemi (not my car):
Sometimes having an old car means someone borrows it for a photo shoot:

Looks like you have made a lot of progress on your LS swap since your last pic post. You going back red with the pant? A few months ago, I was parked next to a 70 with the same setup and it was a very clean install. He said he had no problems with the install and wished it had done it sooner. I'm not quite ready to make the jump yet...but you never know.

so no issues with fuel pressure, how did you regulate it from the fuel pump?
sorry for the question just really trying to understand the basic of EFI

Not a classic but was my car I wanted in high school. 1992 Ford Mustang Notchback 5.0 LX. Doing a coyote swap with an auto tranny. Should be finished in a few months.

The last batch for today:
1932 Buick Model 50 (I took this photo when they were using it in "The Great Debaters")
Movie production companies can be rough on cars -- they accidentally put a minor dent in it so it was returned repainted and looking much better:
1930 Ford Model A Truck:
1931 Model A (the wheels normally have a cream colored wires, but the wheels were removed for use in the "Great Debaters". This car and others being used in filming were stored at the old Landers Dodge paint shop on Bert Kouns:
The Model A with its correct wheels (the dude with the beard was Denzel Washington's bodyguard):
1932 Buick Model 90 (the 90 is the only Buick that is considered a CCCA full classic). We're going to give this to my older sister who will stuff it in her garage will it will slowly rot away (as she did to a 50's Desoto):

'67 Fairlane 500.
Frame up restoration. Made a few modifications - switched out the bench seat for buckets and changed the original Tan paint and interior to Red on Red on Red.
Things I now want to do to it now that I'm driving it often: Add Vintage Air and Power Brakes.
Still looking for an operational dash clock and an original AM radio for the dash.
