How are you enjoying the Muscle Car hobby these days?

----I've been retired for a while now, and it's true that you end up having more to do than before retirement. The cars are mostly done, but I always say I've found new ways of loosing money by having a marine addiction. Just finishing one 24ft Donzi after about ten years and have one more Donzi (18 ft Donzi Corsican, google it) to rig and then maybe I can wind down the bleeding! But there's always something to do even if a boats done, GRR!.....Bill S

I retired about 3.5 years ago & to this day I don't know where I found the time to go to work. It was eating up all my needed time.
I enjoy the car hobby although I don't drive the cars as I did years before. They were daily drivers then. The 1968 Z/28 I've had since 1976 & the 1969 ss396 Camaro I bought in 1981. They have each aquired 80k extra miles on the speedo over the years so nobody can say I didn't or don't drive them. As I continue my search for a 1970 Cuda, I wish I would've bought one years ago instead of getting into the early 30s Chevrolets.....Joe

----Pics of the Corsican will have to come later, but Tim G has offered to post pics of my 24ft Donzi Spitfire. Thanks, Tim!

----It's funny you ask, Charlie, as this Corsican is serial # 2 and started life as a H-M small block with a Volvo drive. They only made 56 Corsicans and as of now I have owned almost 20% of them, but never a V-drive with 427 HM drivetrain.. I worked for Donzi Marine in the early 70's so have almost always have had 1 or 2 around. The Spitfire is far rarer than a Corsican with only around 20 produced. I know of no other Spitfire of the approximatley 5 or so left that have had anywhere near as extensive a restoration. I think mine is the only one ever delivered with twin small blocks and Mercruiser TRS drives and was used in the Donzi display booth in 1973 or 4 in Toronto CA.....Bill S
