Gordon, selling that Colt must've hurt. Hope you got what it was worth for it!

The first car I ever bought myself was a '75 Camaro, and replaced it in '86 with an '84 T/A. Gotta love F bodies.

M3 - 405hp WOOOHOOO! That WS6 snorkel hood must be great for studying your impact on the wildlife world! How many birds and nightime road wanderers do fish out of there every morning?
The '69 SS (WITH A 427!!!) is the $h!t - bet you wish you hadn't have sold that one . . . .
A buddy had a 71 Vette with a 427 shoehorned in. Don't think the front springs were swapped to accommodate it though. That car scared the he!! out of me.

Cute tractor ..... heheheheeee.......


Brent, I was wondering about the 87 & LT1, together.

I actually just sold the M3EATER .... to finance the new boat and bought the M5 as a fixer-upper (30 cents on the dollar, to current value).

If I had 10 cents on the dollar for what the current value of every 68/69 Camaro that I had, back then, would be now ...... well, you know.

Mike, the Colt was my dad's, he left it to me. I'm not a collector, so I used it as a financial windfall ..... yes, I got what it's worth. Actually, I had originally had no idea, but one of my sales agents is a gun buff and he caught wind that I had a Gov't M1911 and said I should stop plinking cans with it. He said it may be worth a grand or two. Once I started researching it ... well, it sold for ... umm ... substantially more. (when you've got the only one available for sale, and a collector has a hole where a 1938 model should go ....).

Don't be missled by the multiple BMWs thing ..... the newest and youngest BMW I've ever bought (for me of the wife or kids) is the 91 M5 with 140K miles. I also part them out to help pay for the hobby habits.

Blessed,

They cut me a good deal on the 3320. I paid just under 30K (barely under) the way you see it in the photos. The reason I was able to get into it for that price is that they had the 448 hoe in stock and worked me a killer deal off MSRP. The backhoe alone, lists at almost 10K. They didn't cut me much slack on the mower and shaved some off the machine too.
