Old guy in Pittsburgh

Another Rock Auto joiner. I have way too many cars but my (early) 85 SVO is my favorite. I'm mostly a Ford guy
(89 Taurus SHO, 01 Ranger, 96 Taurus wagon with SHO drivetrain), '90 Festiva, but I also enjoy my 07 Impala SS and a 1953
Packard Caribbean convertible that I've owned for 48 years, and a 1973 VW Karmann Ghia Sport Edition. My SVO
is 9L (oxford white); no mods other than a big valve head and dual exhaust. I've owned it since 1993.
I taught Mathematics at Duquesne University here in Pittsburgh for 30 years. My wife Pat and I raised 5 children
none of whom is a car person! I'm glad to be a member of this forum. Only 2 weeks til Carlisle!!!

Welcome aboard from a fellow Pittsburgher. Also appears you have quite a car collection. Perhaps you can post some images of your collection? as I'm sure we would all be interested in seeing your awesome rides

Thanks for the welcome! I know this site caters to the late model mustangs but I figured what the heck. I posted pictures
of the Packard and Karmann Ghia in the gallery. I'll add the festiva and the showagen and the 89 sho today or tomorrow.
Hope to meet you at a car show now that they're up and running.
cheers,
