About me and my passion for cars

Been Car Crazy since birth!
Always had a toy car or something to do with Automobiles around me.
Then to Soapboxes and Go-Carts and finally the real deal.

Having been in a family with a racing and mechanical background and lots of cars around the yard and in the Garage and Repair business maybe helped as well.
Didn't matter what it was,Ford,Mercury,Plymouth,Dodge,Chevy Pontiacs,Cadillac or AMC's from the 60's. I loved them all at one time or another.
NASCAR Racing was really big with me as a kid even when it wasn't popular for us in the Northeast in the New England area.

I had and loved a lot of cars in my day,Like a 75 Chevelle Laguna which was my favorite for a long time,Nova SS's Camaro's and a V8 IMSA Monza GT and Pontiac Fiero GT fastbacks which i still have a love afair over and still want one even though there problematic.
I do like some European cars liike the Alfa Romeo's SZ and Citroen C4 WRC Rally cars.
But my all time favorite was still the big heavy Chevy Monte Carlo.
I always wanted that since it first came out in 1970.
The styling was unique as it was different than other vehicles on the road. It just stood out and was just beautiful in my eyes anyway.And ya gotta love the official masscot TAZ!
I am holding on that GM will bring back the Monte Carlo again in the near future with a radical fast looking body style and rear wheel drive, Just needs a Grand National Turbo V6 in it this time!
Yeah I didn't say V8 cause at these gas prices,I don't want one!

But my favorite was the Choo Choo Customs 1986-88 Monte Carlo SS nosed El Camino!

My first car

My first car was a 1966 Chevelle Malibu SS with a Vinal top which was my hand me down mother's car.

Car I wish I still had

Not a car but my favorite Pick-up and was my late Dad's,A 1972 Chevy C-10 Pickup Light Yellow,Man ya couldn't miss it! I repainted it 1970 Chevy Gold and Black,She was a beauty.With 15 x 10 inch wide deep dish Appliance Striker Chrome Wheels on back and 15 x 8's up front ,Pro Trac 50 series tires all around,Side pipes with Blackjack headers,Weiand hi rise intake with a 850 Holly Double pumper Marine carb,Comp Cam solid lifter,Roller Rockers,Holly Chrome Fuel pump,Accel Electronic Ignition and Moroso everything you could think of including extra tall Dual breather oval track black crinkled cast valve covers and much more!

My dream car

Although I did not create the Original Retro Monte Carlo SS Concept picture here made originally by a Photo Chop Artist by the name of "Mopar Performance" ?
I did modify the Front end,Grill and added the blacked out hidden headlights/Directionals and B-Pillar Split Opera Window and added an Aerocoupe SS rear Window Glass and moved the driving lights inboard and all black wire mesh in the grills.
This is pretty close to "MY" Dream car!
