Everyone loves retro cars. That is why people are ready to invest lots of big money in them. I agree! Everyone loves retro cars. That is why people are ready to invest lots of big money in them.

It's not far from my house, and I love the cars I see on TV. I always wondered how much I would have gotten for my old convertible if I sold it through them.

I have been very lucky in my ventures and currenty own 2 62 chevys with 409's and a 1960 El Camino with a Curt Harvey built 474 " 409 with a 6/71 blower. During a trip to Solvang in the mid 80's we found a 1931 Ford model a coupe come to find out this was built by Ed and Richard Iskyderian owners of Isky racking cams. We still own this car as well as a 65 Turbo Corsa Corvair. Like I said I have been very lucky. But most of all is the true love for AMERICAN MADE cars of the 60's. Happy mortoring.

I and a friend of mine have been researching the Z11 in order to write a book. In regards to your history in FL, did you ever go up against or find yourself in the pits with the 'Thunder' Z11 raced by Bob Tucker? It was a gold colored car, I am told. Not the 63 Anniv. gold but probably Autumn Gold. The reports are that Bob took exceptional care of this car and kept in pristine condition throughout it's career on the track. We do have a couple pics of this car but not a lot of specs or info yet. Any memories, specs, pics, leads or artifacts would sure be appreciated.
