LOL.. well that depends on the brand of Italian cars..

There's also a joke about Fiat, which is an acronym that stands for: Fix It Again Tony..

It's not considered a classic; I believe it was rated at about 210 HP back then, which was considered "High Performance" at the time. Mine had the 4-bbl carburator, but Ford added the EFI in 1986, which increased HP rating to about 225 or so.

LOL...my X-19 was such a piece of crap! Bright yellow with black stripes. Kept her for less than a year. U loaded her for a new Camero.
Oh...by the way, the Vette is a '67

Here is my 76 in the shop before I put the vinyl top back on.



And the day it came back from the shop.

It's the front courtyard of a place called Wilton House in Wiltshire, England.

They have a big car event there every summer and are having breakfast meets once a month as well.

Any car from the 50's.

Actually, I like the ones you seldom see instead of just 57 Chevy
