Nice! You have a great collection, thanks for sharing.

And I can’t believe that you’ve owned four SS Montes.  That’s awesome. Not to mention a ton of other super desirable cars. You’ve had quite the stable, Willie.

You'll see a trend here, couldn't find a pic of my Montego MX. 🤣 Some may notice the 75 and 72 have the same wheels and tires. I had just finished upgrading the 75 when FL started emissions testing, couldn't get the 75 to run and pass emissions so took the whole drive train and dropped it in the 72, 72 was exempt from testing. The 67 pic is taken in front of the lot of my first house, the others are the built house.

Mark my dad had a 68 montego convertible and a 64 comet convertible would love to find one in his memory.  He traded the 68 for a van and he wrecked the 64 one night when a tree jumped out in front of him. He walked home 3/4 of  a mile with broken nose bloody face and got a neighbor to help him get it out. They ended up calling a tow truck and when police showed up every thing was under control he didn't ask any questions.  It was a simpler time back then. But I loved both of them cars.

I never drove this but it held the NHRA record E.T. @ 11:37 with an inline Pontiac OHC SIX back in the late 60's. I did help work on it when I was 15 - 18 years old. My Brother in-law and two of his friends owned it.

I did get a ride one time WOW!AngliaWheelStand.jpg.78e78aea648f336bfd4888f424e2e37e.jpg1967MiniBikeBruce_1.thumb.jpg.ea3965ed066b5e151fc24bda8fd61921.jpg
