David-

Most of my collegiate life was at PSU, class of '71, but spent a year at OSU trying to get into Vet School (class of '73, Microbiology).  They had computers at OSU then?  LOL.  Guess which of the two alma maters was my favorite.  By then I even parked the Shelby near the baseball field, while at Hawley and then Snell Halls.  Go Beavs!

OK , that guy is just plain greedy, all I need is one little 67 435 horse roadster to make me happy, the only trouble is they are worth about the same as my Marquis, and I can't have both (yet ) thanks for that video Stan, I had never seen it before.

You can do the Exotic Driving Experience and drive some super cars for reasonable money. Just did a Lambo 570 with a 0 to 60 of 3.4 and 0 to 100 of 6.8 on a closed track where the "coach" said floor it. Passed another Lambo and a Ferreri..

My first and second years out of high school ('64 and '65), had a summer job at a youth camp. One of the counselors, who was a college senior, had a '63 split window Sting Ray. Of course we didn't know the significance at the time. He let me drive it a couple of times. First time ever going over 100 mph, and when we slowed to 70 (the speed limit on the brand new I-55) it felt like 30. What a ride!

LOL!  I can't find any photos to share, as that was long before digital.  65 GTO Convertible, 389 4 speed, no power sucking options so it all went to the back wheels.  Those cars were great while they lasted.

Keith,

I was a 20 yr old kid with a '66 GTO. 389, 4 spd, tri-power, and the 4.11 rear end. I could beat most Vettes off the line, but they got me top end.

It pretty much looked like this one, without the Earnhardt front plate of course.

Thanks for the pix.  65,66,67,  All great years for the Goat.  I wore mine out.  Had it from early 69 (25k on the clock) till late 72 (well over 100k).  It was the wedding car, towed the speedboat on our honeymoon,  drove us from Vancouver to the maritimes, back through NY city, Yellowstone.  Worst trade-in decision was getting rid of it when a trip to the gas station required "check the gas and fill the oil, please".  
With the beefier frame for the convertible mine would never have been competitive, but it sure was fun.

Stan,

Thanks for that Corvette link, I sent it on to a Corvette buddy in VT. Interesting that many of us that have ended up in Beavers had similar toys along the way. I guess the kid in us lives on, we just cannot bend over and pick up a wrench in the same speedy fashion as we used to...
