My all time favorite automobile:



Favorite #2 (but the vette would be far less to maintain )



Favorite if price were no object:

That will be the Patterson GMCMI Spring Rally. There is a well informed, well connected and passionate group of people that have and maintain these. It is remarkable the technical help, tools, assistance and even a place to park if you are having issues pretty much anywhere in the US with the GMCMI. The coaches are pretty *****in too especially if you realize they are almost 40 years old and over 70% of them are still running.

This is the inside of mine.

Just about any car which has a "LongTail" version has got to be more aero than the standard version, right?

Other angles:

Somehow this tail just does look as aero as the old Porsche 917 LongTail which I know a French aerodynamicist put though a wind tunnel to obtain higher top end speeds on.

A little boat and a real honey for top down jaunts.
Kept this brochure for 18 years.
No real idea why. Mine was orange.
