Love traditional rods and customs but have to say this thread is still one of my favorites. Love looking at the new stuff once a month.

I remember that Ford van ad. That sure would be a bitching daily for 2012 .

Just saw "The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat" on Netflix. The sequel. I saw the first one when it came out. but I had to see it in a seedy theater. Great flix.

What a great thread.
Thanks to the mods for leaving it run.
Thanks to all the posters for reviving all the memories.
Cheers.

 

Damm !! Great thread.(still reading).. I have to go threw some pics an postem later.. Ford guys "should" appreciate it..
This is one of the mid 70's project car.

 

Lacquer...

 

For those that think we might be stuck in the 70s,...Hardly, not stuck at all, we are celebrating the Great Memories of having lived in the time period of the rockin' 70s!
As my Father thought me, have varied interests. And to never let people think that they have you figured out.
Keep it mixed up. Keep em' guessing.
Viva La 70s!...

 

Taken about 1977, still have the car, but the hair is long gone...

 

Nice Chebbie...
Not what most were doing in '77.
I Like it. How's it look today?
.

 

There's a couple of pics in my profile, under Detroit 2008 and random pics. Here it is about two years ago...

 

Nice! Keeping it true.
Bet there have been a lot of memories made in that car over the years.

 

Not mine, but someone was doing the 70's pretty nicely...

 

I think every rock and roll song from then until now was based on everything I just saw. YES!

 

At Dragway Park, Cayuga Ontario, year 1972.

 

I was born in 72 this brings back lots of memories of seeing these cars, and I remember following my dad around while he tried to keep the salt eaten cars we owned running, we had a yard full of junk and car parts and dead cars, memories. I also also remember my older cousins doing burnouts and I seem to remember some of those magazines

 

Something you may not know - Fritz's voice was that of Skip Hinnant, who played many characters on TV's The Electric Company (most notably the character "Fargo North, Decoder"!). I suppose if you were watching The Electric Company you were too young to see Fritz the Cat, and if you were old enough to be watching Fritz, you'd only be watching The Electric Company if you were stoned...

 

And eating a couple of boxes of these...

 

I wasn't even alive in the 70s and I love this thread...

around 1970 car payment 116.87 and insurance 125 per month. Its funny how you can recall this after 40 years. My pay check was less than 110 a week.. Needless to say I sold the big block 4 speed vette and got a auto/air 350 elco.. I miss the Elco more..

 

Lite one UP Rocky, you forgot the Fuggin' Boo Berry cereal.
