OMG! I owned an orange 1967 Yenko! I loved that car. Helped put me through my senior year of college (4-speed manual, of course) -- girls can't drive and all that stuff and the guys were too dumb to find out what a Yenko was or look under the hood until I'd won.

My 1970 Duster 340. Never should have taken it to Germany. Constantly scraped the headers on high crowned cobblestone streets.

Love the spring shackles ! I had those very same side exhausts on my ‘72 Mustang.

We had a '67 Mustang. My husband drove it every spring/summer 100 miles round trip to work--the only reason he would buy it was if it would be useful as well as fun. No a/c, power steering or brakes, so we didn't bring it to FL. Just sold it for $2K more than we paid.

I had a 1960 Triumph Herald (4 seater convertible) through high school and college. Finally donated it to a church my senior year of college because no way would it make it from Georgia to Pennsylvania. I loved that car. In high school we got many, many kids in that car with the top down... sprawling everywhere, going up and down those Pittsburgh hills. Wouldn't go fast enough to hurt anyone.

My dad bought it for me in high school and then kept it up for me till he passed away when I was in college in GA. So it had an emotional connection for me. I still miss him (more) and the car (less). He was the greatest, and the car was totally unreliable.

Later I had a '72 Triumph TR 6 that financed our mechanic's several trips to Bermuda.

Nice Olds.....I bought a really clean, 1956 Olds 88 4dr hardtop (same red & white )
to use as a second car sometime in the early 60’s,
even though gas was cheap, had to let it go,
I didn’t own a refinery!
