A.J. & Friends Classic Cars The year is 1976 at my shop in Lacon.  Sitting in the row is my '51 Mercury stick OD - an old '58 Ford drag car I traded some parts for - and my freshly restored '57 blue Ford. And of course, "The Big Animal" which I still have in perfect shape to this day.   The '63 split-window Vette belongs to a customer.  Shortly after this photo was taken, I sold the blue '57 Ford and the '51 Merc along with a red R-code '63 Ford Galaxie, '68 AMX 390 4-spd. and a customized '52 Chev 1/2 ton pickup I owned to help finance my Pro stock racing.  If you look closely, you can see my Pro Stock Pinto in the bay.  I wish I had pictures of all the cars I had.  Nowadays, I take a lot of pictures.
