Classic car owner:
Jim Wallace
Wallace shows his GT-350 and says it has only 23,000 original miles. “I have to admit that I rarely drive it,” he said. “The Cobra I drive more. The Classic Car market has become one of the largest investment opportunities that you can actually enjoy. There are car clubs all over the world that have events where you can show and race your car if you wish. The largest car event is held each year at Monterey, Calif. during the month of August - the Monterey Historic Auto Races and Pebble Beach Concourse. This is a must attend event for any car buff. ”
How many classic cars do you own?
Two, a 1966 Shelby GT-350 and a 289 FIA Cobra
What is your favorite classic car?
1966 Ferrari 275GTB/C. I owned this car for 10 years, it was the 1967 LeMans GT winner and a wonderful driving car.
What was your first classic car?
1964 Pontiac GTO. This was my high school car.
What is your dream car?
The “ultimate” collector/driving car for me would be the Porsche 959.

Classic Car Owner:
Curtis McLachlan
McLachlan considers his collection of Classic vehicles his “metal art.” He found his ‘74 Rolls Royce SS Silver Shadow in the back yard of an Incline resident and bought it. He decided not to restore it but instead to convert it into a street rod with a Chevy 502/502 engine. It took him a year and a half to complete with its all Italian leather interior, 18 inch Rolls Royce rims, new wiring, new stereo and tv. McLachlan uses the classic for weddings and parades.
“I wouldn’t have a car if I didn’t drive it,” he said. “I don’t own a trailer queen.”
Now he irestoring another Rolls Royce as a “project.”
How many classic cars do you own?
Right now I have five running classic vehicles
What is your favorite classic car?
A ‘53 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with only 12,600 original miles. It is my favorite because it has documented history.
What was your first classic car?
The ‘55 Chevy.
What is your dream car?
It was my ‘63 Corvette Stingray.

Classic Car Owner:
Jim Nowlin
“I do drive my Pantera, both on the road and the track. I average about 2,500 miles per year. It has been to Las Vegas many times for our annual international fun rally (which will be held in Reno for the first time next June), and has been to Monterrey for "Concourso Italiano" the past few years,” Nowlin said.
Nowlin is also president of Reno-Tahoe Panteras and said that he knows of about 26 Panteras in the local area and anyone interested in information on Panteras, can contact him.
How many classic cars do you own?
I own two classic cars, a 1973 DeTomaso Pantera and a 1967 Chevy Camaro SS 350. The Camaro is for sale.
What is your favorite classic car?
The Pantera is definitely my favorite. I’ve owned it for well over 25 years, and I can’t imagine ever not having it. It’s a real “fire-breather” and has exceeded all my expectations. With 550 horsepower and incredible handling it does it all.
What was the first Classic Car you owned?
My first “classic” car was a 1957 Triumph TR3. I still have fond memories of that car.
What is your dream car?
If money were no object, I would have a 1962 Ferrari GTO. But I would still keep the Pantera. Really, if money were no object, I would have at least a dozen different classic cars. Which ones would depend upon how wealthy I was!

Classic Car Owner: Dean Meiling
“I rarely show my cars. Driving them is what I prefer. Although the cars are kept in excellent running order, they have some nicks and chips. They aren’t trailer queens,” Meiling said. He has also raced his cars all over the world and has had a life-long interest in cars.
How many Classic Cars do you own?
I own several street and race cars.
What is your favorite Classic Car?
Among the cars I own, it is tough to pick an overall favorite because my reasons for wanting them varied depending on how I wanted to use them. For touring events, my favorite is the Jaguar XKSS because of its great looks and stunning performance. For track events, I have greatly enjoyed racing my Maserati A6GCS, an early 50’s endurance racer. With its relatively skinny tires and drum brakes, it handles quite differently from more modern cars with wider tires and disc brakes. Yet, driving it well is highly satisfying.
What was the first Classic Car you owned?
The first classic that I acquired was the XKSS Jaguar. I was attracted to it because of its versatility as both a car that was raced in-period and a car that is still great fun to drive on touring events today. In September we drove it over 1,000 miles on Colorado mountain roads
What is your dream car?
My dream car is a Ferrari 250 Short Wheel Base, another car that could be driven on the street as well as raced and looks super even when its standing still.
