How many of you guys own classic cars?
Being that our cars are heavily influenced by the design of the late 60's Mustangs, I'm sure most of us have an appreciation for classic/antique cars. However, was curious to see how many of you actually own a classic/antique? If you have one, let us know what ya got...I'll start.
66 Galaxie 500 fastback.

I have several, but most relevant is the '67 coupe in the garage I'm helping a friend to do a resto mod, pro-tour, whatever you want to call it.
I'm really new to the Ford club, but couldn't resist the new V6. I love the early fastback cars, especially in race trim. I lose interest with the big mustangs of 1971-1973.
My wife has a '62 Falcon I'm going through now, as well. I have a '62 Newport waiting it's turn and a longer term project in a 1939 Chevy truck/salt flats racer.

Classic or antique
I have a '52 Studebaker but it is just an antique. Classic signifies something more. A '53 Studebaker is a classic. I also have a '89 Thunderbird SC. 4 wheel anti-lock disc brakes , active supension, Eaton supercharged, varible ratio steering , MAF fuel injected, alot of the things we apprieciate in modern cars that were almost unheard of in '89. It was Motor Trend Car of the Year. I hope it will be considered classic.

I have a 67. and an 06 gt. Took 4 1/2 years to restore. I did a full every bolt off resto. I started posting here in the classic section in 2004 when i got it. I just finished it this march. although its never finished for those who have restored classics lol.
