How when you buy a certain vehicle you suddenly start noticing them all over the place?
Happened with the '69 Cougar, then with the Galaxie & now it's started with the '70 Ranchero. I was just picking up my 1st grader daughter & saw a '70 Torino pull up. In a year & a half I've never noticed it there before. On Monday I noticed a '64 Ranchero that I never saw before & it's been there every day this week...

hahaha thats so true. When I got my Cougar, they werent around, now there's 7 in town. When I got my Fairlane I never saw another one, nows theres 2 others (mind you ones a 68 coupe others a 69 cobra coupe). A guy next town over has a 390 69 cyclone, we usually cruise in the summer a few times a month. Some guy bought a 69 ranch from out of city and we met for coffee last year and traded storis, very cool.

Yeah I notice that all of the time. You think you've got a unique car and then you see them all over the place.

It's also try for colors (in case of more common cars). When you buy the car you think that you don't see that color so often, but as soon as you have it, it seems that they didn't make them in any other color...

Especially when you buy a Model T [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

It's getting worse. I'm now aware of 3 '64's in town, the neighbors '73, a '76 at a local salvage yard, another primered '76 I've seen at the mall.....

&amp; just today I got offered a '68 with a good 302 &amp; a knackered C4..... for $500
