[Hallicrafters] Thanks

[Paul]

Got a new yearend/leftover 64 Stingray roadster 327 when I got home from Fort Sill in early 1965, traded in my 1960 MGA for it (I had driven the MGA from Fort Sill OK to NY in the winter. Went from 75 degree sunny days when I left Sill to 20 degrees and several feet of snow by the time I reached NY). Couple years later traded the 64 Stingray in for a new 396 Stingray roadster. Impalas and GTO's may have been the muscle cars, but 'vettes...!!!!! Soon went into imports, traded the 396 in on an E-type Jag roadster (had/still have a thing for roadsters) and many other cars that I wish I hadn't let go. Still keep some of the older fun cars around, but nothing American. Out in the garage/storage are two BMW's  (a 2002 bought while in Germany and shipped home and a 633Csi), 1964 MGB, 1957 AC Ace (roadster), 1957 AC Aceca Bristol (Coupe) and several "everyday driver" cars, Nissan 350Z, Mitsubishi Eclipse GS and my favorite of all, my new Mini Cooper S, most
 car fun I've had since my euro-spec BMW 2002.
 
Wife says I went thru my midlife crisis 35 years ago and haven't got over it yet.
 
OK, where's the Boatanchor relevance to all this? While I had the 327 and 396 Stingrays, I also had a '57 Chevy (convertible of course, kind'a a 6 seater roadster) that had a Hallicrafters SR-500 Tornado installed. I later replaced the Tornado with a Collins KWM-2A. 57 Chevy is gone (as are the 'vettes') but at least I still have the radios.

I had one of those for a short time in the late 70's; 1963 409, single 4bbl 
and 4spd ragtop. Ive had a total of 9 63-64 Impalas. Also bought a new 64 
GTO convertible, 389, tripower, 4spd, 4.10 posi rear; after a little work it 
ate 409's (-;  The early GTO actually was THE musle car of that era, light 
compact body and big engine while the Impala and other full size models were 
lead sleds. The Chevelle and Nova didnt get a 396 until 66.

Now all I have for that model is a 68 Impala convertible, 396 SS.
