This is the first car I ever bought (at age 12). 1973 Mustang Grande Coupe. It has been sitting for 25 years, thanks to my sister blowing the engine. Started back to work on the old girl. She resides at my parents house in Richmond. I forgot how much smog crap was added after 71. :doh:

I drove a 73 in H.S.



currently working to get this one finished now. can't make room in the shop for all of the customer's cars right now.

I bought my first Alfa new in '68 while stationed in Germany and have owned at least one Alfa at all times since then. My favorite however remains the long gone original '68 GTV.

I used to hate them, saying 67 was the last year for Vetts, but they have grown on me in recent years! I find my self, gravitating to the Big Block 454ci, 1973 model year. I like the combination, new bumperless front end, combined with the little chrome bumperets in the rear. I also like the hood scoop on the 73 better then the 68-72 427 scoops!

Packard sold well in pre-war Europe, despite the great depression. But owning one is a logistical headache, even though it's right hand drive, there is always something that's needed and you can only get from America. The internet has made it so much easier of course, but even though a 1930's Packard was a dream come true, the reality ended the love affair.



On the other hand, although a lot smaller, an MG is so much more practical, the MG owners club is huge, and if you really struggle to find a spare part, the club can always put you in touch with a specialist who can make it for you.

Wow love those two cars! Is the Packard a Super Straight 8?
