History Time Machine Opportunities...

If A Time Machine Was Available In 2023 What Would You Bring Back?...

 

Only the used grilles; the new ones they were selling were probably the infamous "Made in Argentina" gems.

 

Only one page to choose from @LOU WELLS...

...this...

A favorite pain in the ass for me...

I think it's owned by a Hamber too...but time machined into my garage, with a signed ownership would be pretty dreamy...

​

 

All the companies that sold out...
Hilborn for starters..

 

Microsoft and Apple stock! Then I could afford anything!

 

My youth

 

Rita Hayworth

 

If I had a time machine available, I wouldn't come back............

 

Not everyones cuppa Joe...............

 

Marilynn Monroe and cocaine , lots of the cocaine .



oh oh , sorry you mean CAR STUFF !! Oh gosh am I silly .

well every 41 Willy’s , early vette , tri fives , one off factory stuff , 426 hemis , 427 sohc fords , anything cobra or Shelby , Ferrari , porches etc .

but yes , the lovely Mrs Monroe and the cocane , lots of the cocaine .

 

Every bit of 1965
But for 'Nam

 

If you could go back, what would you use to pay for the stuff? Surely, current bank notes would be viewed as counterfeit and of no use. The currency of the day is now considered collectable, and as such would be prohibitively expensive to obtain in any quantity and take back. Gold (or other precious metals)? Gold is currently around $1800 an ounce and was worth $35 an ounce back in those days, so that wouldn't be feasible either.

Tine travel is a conundrum and always will be. It's fun to ponder, though.

 

Wait a minute, are you related to H.G.Wells ?

 

The past is better left in the past. We can look back at the good parts of it fondly. If everyone brought the good stuff back into the future, how good would it really be?

 

Paper currency from the era wouldn't be worth much more than face value today. So, a trip to a coin show or two would do it. Vintage clothes, too. Probably, I'd want to see the Stones & The Who in concert.
Other than that, it would be the Chicxulub impact. Then exiting quickly...

 

For me, things like AM radios and bias ply tires won't be on that list!

 

A video of the life of Jesus Christ.
A video of those 55 men signing the Declaration of Independence.
A video of King George's reaction when he received the Declaration.
A video of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
A video of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. (Actually, multiple videos)
A video of the Roswell crash.
And I'd take a reliable witness with me.....like a Supreme Court judge.

A Crate Engine From The Dealership Could Be Handy....

 

My grandfather who passed away young. Certainly not a grille that is still reproduced today.

 

My wife 30 years ago and a case of Viagra for when I get back

 

If you look at the bottom of the page they have some “good used grilles” for $17 a pop. I would buy every 34 grille they had in stock

 

That's precisely what I was referring to.

 

My good judgement, before I was married and divorced twice.

 

First, I'd save the girl! Then stop in 1957 and pick me up one of these.

 

American made Levis 517s .....

 

Arduns, as many as I could afford

 

Live in the past for a little bit, bring back stocks and land deeds........then I would be set.
