I haven't seen any 10's near my home in central WV.

Dude! You central guys usually have something with lock in hubs!

I grew up in McDowell "MackDowl" County in the middle of Hatfield and Mcoy country and when family from out of state visited they were always SURPRISED at how many luxury and sport/muscle cars were there. Didn't realize how much "coal" money flowed through I guess. I know a lot of "hillbillies" with some really NICE iron in the "carport"!

Funny, I have a 1979 F150 with Lock in Hubs! It's an old project truck with a built 429 Thunderjet under the hood.
There are some really nice cars around here. My neibor has a Viper RT/10, Hemi Challenger(not the new one), Covertible 69 Roadrunner, 70 Dart Swinger 340, and a little red. My cousin who is also nearby has a T/A Challenger and 3other Challengers. I think he has one numbers matching car for sale.
My Dad has a 1967 Mercury Cyclone GT with 60k on the odometer(needs restored) and a guy near town has a Cobra.
The bad is - these cars are rarely seen. They are all locked away in buildings and such.

Grew up in a FORD family!

I grew up with my dad and most of my uncles being ford fanatics! Got to be around and drive some really nice cars/trucks. I actually let two cars go through the years that I now regret, a 63 1/2 Galaxy with the 427 and dual quads (big shaft 4 speed) and a 67 mustang 427 auto (rare). Wish I had them now! Still have some old ford stuff though.

My Dad is a Ford guy or used to be. He has no interest in cars anymore. It's funny, he always hated Mopars! Then again, he got me started with my 69 Dart.
