Vintage Photo of the day

[j.a.f.e.]

Scottys was in PA and operating an inspection station in addition to the regular mechanic stuff. Not sure about current practices but until the early 80's cars had to be inspected twice a year then annually and got a sticker in the lower left of the windshield different colors for different periods. The police were always vigilant about pulling cars over if they didn't have a current sticker. At least in Pittsburgh where I lived most of misspent youth.

One of my great joys was moving to California where there were no inspections.

I bet you do wish you still had it! Just the way I like to see a car too, with rubber that fills the fender wells! The rear tires were a real set of meats too. I bet that sucker hooked up well too!

Great pics Elroy. We all wish we had some of those 1960s, 70s, and 80s cars back. But life, jobs, and often family needs inevitably get in the way. Such is life --

The car I miss the most wasn't an exotic, nor was it a Jaguar. I owned a 1973 Lincoln Mercury Capri with the 2.6 V6 Cologne engine. It was a great little show stopper and J.C. Whitney had very high quality German and English performance parts for it. I built that thing into a wonderful sports car-like daily driver.

Still own the red pit-crew jacket with a white vertical stripe on the left side and the Capri logo on it -- also a Whitney purchase.
