| I ran some errands in my '76 LeMans, and drove some back roads. Spotted a 1974 or so Corvette in a driveway, and a '66 T-bird landau, on jackstands, in another. Primer gray, looking a bit forlorn, and with a for sale sign in the window. | |

....I saw: 67 (pretty sure only because of the steering wheel, 67-69s look alike to me) Thunderbird coupe, black, quite nice 10-footer (so-so amateur paint) 67 red Firebird 400 convertible, owned by the local Pozoleria guy, he's selling (wants something like $28k, eeek---I keep trying to remind myself that this was a $4k mass-produced car when new) 80(?) Trans-Am turbo Pace Car (white, prisine, had that nice, thick checked velour interior, those turbine-y looking wheels, T-tops, the contact paper dash, power windows and the cool Trans-Am steering wheel) beat up 66 Buick Electra 225 coupe, I see all the time; can't imagine one as a daily driver, for the gas usage alone the most beautiful example, if that's an adjective we can use for one, Checker Marathon station wagon, dark green (I think they stopped making these way before the sedans....this looked late-60s, if judging purely by smallish bumpers) |

....I saw one, I just thought it was mammoth and awkward; if you want a utility vehicle, just get one, I don't get the crossover thing, at least not at this price point. I can think of many cars (or maybe two or three cars that cost a total of) I'd rather have for $81k. Eeek.

Wow, how did the Brits botch this one up? I mean, it was basically a Honda-with all of the bugs worked out. The Brits just had to add leather seats and some nicer "English" touches-so how did this marque go so horribly bad? The one I saw was a sad little rat- dented and making blue smoke. Are they worth anything?
