1968 Dodge Charger
Purchased when I moved to California, this sweet example of
Mopar engineering has broadened my
appreciation of late 60's muscle.
It is my daily driver, and has served me well. Year One has been
instrumental in providing parts for keeping it in top shape, and their
service is unequalled in my experience.

1968 Ford Mustang Coupe
This was my first car... I spent most of my
senior year of high school fixing it, then blew up the engine right before
going away to college. It sat in my parent's back yard for 4 years,
during which time I replaced the dead block with another 302. Later I
fired it up and used it as daily transportation while pursuing a graduate
degree at U. Miami. Hurricane debris from Andrew trashed the power
steering, but I limped it along until I graduated. I then hauled it all
the way to California with me, and for some time it "rested" in my garage,
waiting for me to give it some attention. It is now back on the road and
finally getting some much-needed TLC.

1969 Ford 302 Engine
Actually, this is a picture of the engine currently in the 'stang,
immediately after its rebuild in 1989. Despite that being nearly a decade
ago now, the engine has less than 8,000 miles on it, and still looks
pretty much the same.
