Replying to: ghulet (Jul 17, 2009 8:01 am) And on top of that, it's a slushbox, in less than gorgeous period colors.   It's an interesting survivor, but Shifty's price sounds right to me. A Supra should bring a little more. Replies to this message: boomchek (Jul 17, 2009 9:05 am) fintail (Jul 17, 2009 9:10 am) boomchek (Jul 17, 2009 9:32 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: fintail (Jul 17, 2009 8:27 am) I agree. That body style Supra was one of my favorite childhood cars. If this would be a Supra, with a 5 speed, in that condition, then maybe you'd find someone to pay $5k for it.    I think this was a granny car. Brown colors, low mileage, perfect condition, and an automatic. Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 17, 2009 9:10 am) boomchek (Jul 17, 2009 9:32 am) fintail (Jul 17, 2009 10:03 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: xrunner2 (Jul 17, 2009 6:21 am) Didn't Hudson make a Wasp as well as the famed Hornet?

Replying to: boomchek (Jul 17, 2009 9:05 am) If it was a mint Supra in the period silver blue I remember, with 24K miles on it and the good options (I think those had digital dash components and a complicated 80s looking stereo as options, among other things), I'd be hard pressed not to buy it for 5K. Those were a childhood favorite of mine, too.   At least the granny car has the period wheels, those are amusing.   Oh yeah, and even here where the weather is relatively gentle, the lower part of the rear hatch will almost always rust out if the car is not garaged. I remember a couple kids had those cars when I was in high school, and they were rusting then.

Replying to: fintail (Jul 17, 2009 9:10 am) And I never liked how the Celicas had the weird front end with the upwards facing/tilting headlights. I think I liked the Supras because once again, a friend had a Matchbox version of one.   I'm influenced so much in my old car tastes by the Matchbox cars I or my friends had when I was little.

Replying to: boomchek (Jul 17, 2009 9:32 am) I had the Hot Wheels Supra - it was red with gold wheels, I remember it clearly. It didn't survive, but I do remember it was a fairly accurate casting. I never had the Matchbox one, not that I remember. I know I had the Tomica version of the first Supra...I still have it.   I'm still not sure what influenced my tastes in cars.

Replying to: fintail (Jul 17, 2009 10:03 am) Holy smokes! Now I kind of like Celicas but I'd really like some of whatever that guy is smoking. Wow!
#16793 of 18017 Parked... by andys120 Jul 17, 2009 (12:30 pm)
I saw a really nice '62 Corvette in a parking lot yesaterday, black with a tan top, no contrating cove as was typical of '62s (last year of the C1, four headlights, duck tail, no chrome outlining the cove.)

Replying to: andys120 (Jul 16, 2009 3:04 am) It's a Triumph, either a Herald or Vitesse. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 17, 2009 4:53 pm)
