There was an older guy in my neighborhood growing up had a white one with engine work done to it. Super cleanI knew a guy who had one, shit was cool as hell.
The 55 is my absolute favorite of the tri 5'sPretty sure as far as I can remember I was prob 5-6 years old when my step dad took us to a cruise-in/car show. Seeing/hearing something like this rip down the street set the hook.

Whenever it was that I seen the movie Cobra (which needs to be added to the 80/90s movie thread lol) as a kid I thought it was such a cool car. View attachment 1833377
Nice!Dad owned several Mustangs during my childhood. But I think the thing that really ignited my interest was his story of driving across Memphis to a used car lot (I still remember, he said it was Billy Mar's Used Cars (sp.?)) just because a guy dad worked with told him there was a 427 Cobra on the lot. Sure enough, it was there. Dad said the sales guy came out and told him " son, if you don't have $3500 cash, we're not even cranking it"
1973-74ish? $3500 for a gas guzzler in the midst of a gas crisis? Can't imagine how Dad passed it up!
I just had a memory flashback. Back when I was in high school, our next door neighbor had a 1965 427 Pontiac Catalina 2+2. It was the most beautiful muscle car I had ever seen. Still remember the rumble of the 421 when he drove out his driveway, which was literally 5' from the side of our house. It was pretty much identical to this one.
The guy that owned the Catalina 421 somehow managed to fit it into the rented 1-car garage but the funny thing was that when exiting the garage it was too tight to turn hard left to exit on the driveway between our two houses. It definitely was a long car. Beautiful! But long! So he'd have to pull forward, back up turning hard right and then forward to exit between our house and his dad's. It was a very narrow driveway.Bob my dad had a 67 Pontiac Catalina. Was a beautiful car and room for days inside that thing. It was one long car, barely was able to fit it in the garage. I’ll have to see if I can find a picture of it to post. His had a 400 under the hood.
