    We were a big boating family. It was all about the Johnson.

    My grandfather told me a story about being caught by a NY state trooper early one morning headed to a jobsite - said he just noticed headlights catching up to him(~110mph) so he slowed down.
    The trooper just wanted to see his new front wheel drive Toronado -which my grandfather let him now would lose him in any corners:rofl: :lol:
    He had a restored 66 and 67, neither were his originals, the maroon one was sexy

    Check this out http://www.icon4x4.com/overview/br/models
    I think that they are reproducing 2 of my most fav. vehicles. I had Bronco's, a 67 with a 289, and a 77 with a 302. Wish I still had both of them.
    Way back in 77 when I was a kid in HS, I went to the Toyota dealer and got a brochure on the LC, IIRC it was around $4500. That was a long time ago and only really a "dream" and that price might be wrong because the only other time I walked into a dealership (back then) was to look at a brand new, shiney red F-250 "high-boy", that was about the same ammount. A friend had a Fj with a 350 SB chevy & 4sp muncie and I've wanted one since.

    Yeah, I had a pristine '74 Bronco w/ 302 and the 'Cruiser at the same time. Sold them both at the same time. Wife had some medical issues and I needed to cover the deductible so they both went. I still sob into my pillow about that, albeit quietly.

    Dec of '68 I had just gotten home from Viet Nam with a years worth of combat pay burning a hole in my pocket.
    Went down and spent it all on a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner.
    Looked like this one.Wish I still had it. :)
