you can look for events by state and calendar

it is obviously early in the season for this, so expect more shows to be added as the warmer months approach...

Curious what you (and others) have. I have a 66 Mustang and am always fantasizing about adding an old Bronco or late 60's/early 70's muscle car (Camaro, Chevelle, Olds 442, GTO, Barracuda, etc) but the prices are too high for me.

When I was in high school I had a 70 Chevelle SS...big block, 4 speed, cowl induction hood. When gas prices started going up, I traded it for a Jeep CJ 5.....what a dope!

Oh how I hated working on those when I was younger, but I had a buddy of mine that had a shop in Cambridge and that's all he worked on. He made a ton of money just working on bugs. He could change a motor in an hour.

There are still mechanics that specialize in these bugs. In San Francisco, they're a very practical get-around car...Just not one like this. One parking ding could ruin your day.

My girlfriend had a'67 convertible about 15 yrs. ago. Lots of fun. Leaked lots of oil. I've often wondered where it is today. It could be at the next car show at The Tilton Diner, or in Mexico.

Back in high school I had a good friend of mine that got in a head on collision in one. He was never the same, messed up in the head from brain trauma.

Currently my daily driver is an '82 Volvo 244 Turbo, with an '86 740 Turbo available as backup: both cars in nice condition.

Kicking myself for selling some of the cars I owned previously, including a '68 Camaro RS and a '70 Challenger R/T: at one time they were "just old cars..."
