Who has a classic car?

None in my garage just yet, but heading to the Mecum Auto Auction in Harrisburg tomorrow, so who knows?! In addition to the usual suspects of Mustangs, Corvettes and Thunderbirds, they have a sweet, frame-off restored 1952 Dodge Power Wagon truck, but I don't expect it will stay in my price range!
I am a huge pick up truck guy, and have coveted a Power Wagon for a long time. This would be the holy grail of classic pick up trucks for me. Unfortunately, it is for many others as well an these are very pricey, especially when all original.
BTW, I'm going to be at the Mecum auction on Saturday. Just window shopping, but my budy is looking for a corvette.
Owned a number of cars that are NOW "classics".
1962 Austin Healey 3000 Mark II, 1966 1/2, Mustang convertible (Navy Blue white top with a "consul" front seat, 1968 GTO
(4 speed Hurst and Holley 3-barrel) and a couple of near classics, Triumph Spitfire and Buick Reatta. Sold them all REALLY cheap.

Screw all you guys, I have a '76 Volare with Corinthian Leather!
I'd love to have an old Power Wagon, my friend had one when we were teenagers and it was the ultimate go anywhere. Brakes weren't very good so we'd just knock down a few trees to stop
Corinthian leather was offered in the Cordoba... the Volare was not available with leather seating areas from the factory
This car I enjoyed for 30 some odd years before I sold it a couple of years ago... 1969 Mercedes 280SL Roadster
Exactly! That's what makes mine even more special. They even used virgin cattle for the leather
One of my favorite cars ever - in the right color - w/ the right interior. Wish I was around when you sold it.This car I enjoyed for 30 some odd years before I sold it a couple of years ago... 1969 Mercedes 280SL Roadster
What year do you like? My dad had a 57 that I wish I still had. That thing was a beast.
My 1969 Mercedes 280SL Roadster was in Dark Green. And, I had her big sister 1972 Mercedes 280SEL 4.5 Sedan in the same Dark Green. I sold the SEL a couple of years before the Roadster. Both cars were pristine. The only flaw on the Roadster was a paint chip on the door edge of the passenger door, courtesy of my ex-wife slamming it against a brick wall (aluminum doors, remember)... it's one of the many reasons why she's my ex-wife.

I like all of the WM300 models (45-68)... I would take any of them if they were available at the right price.
I just found this on eBay... I have too many other expensive hobbies and we are looking at building a new house, or else I'd be buying a one way ticket to LA and driving this baby back to PA!
I found nice 300TD in China Blue, 150,000 miles, for sale on eBay, in the Pittsburgh area The auction ended before I could get the courage to bid on it, and it went for a little over $7000.
