The car checked out and fit his ideal profile. It was rare, had most of its original parts and was in good condition. Many muscle cars were driven hard and dumped. It was the price of being a power car. Muscle car prices are like the stock market, he said.

Another favorite in his 10-car stable is a 1970 Grabber Green Cougar Eliminator. One of the 450 models equipped with a hotshot Boss 302 engine, it's a real rarity in an already small assembly line run of 2,200. Lovely loves the thrill of the chase for rare, mint condition, muscle cars. 1969 SS Camaro, a stripped down 1944 Ford and a 1969 280SL Mercedes convertible. Lovely can't drive the stick shift cars.
