I thought the title of the thread was "Cat Lovers Out There?" ROFLMAO.

Oh well - as long as I'm here......

Gary's first car was a 1974 Trans Am. It was the only year Pontiac had a Chevy engine in it. It was a 454 super duty. The car itself was pretty much wrecked - burnt to hell. I don't know what happened, but that car (the car itself, not the make/model) was the pacer at the Indy 500. It was burnt completely out inside and needed a lot of work, but Gary completely fixed it up. He found banana yellow paint cheap, and that thing GLOWED. Grin

Damn but it was hard not to constantly get pulled over in it. Roll Eyes

I miss that car.

why cant i do the big pics

You have to post them on a host server and paste the link between (img) and (/img) (Brackets where you see the ()..) to have them display.

Do a quote on a post with a pic and you will see what I mean. Wink

Hope that helped?

Not fast, nor shiney, nor a hot rod.
Just the oldest Isuzu Trooper still alive on the road...and here is it's story. 1984 Trooper bought for $300 and pulled it outta the mud.
Loved that truck...

Had a 1977 280Z (white, gold trim) my second car ever. FUN car...speedometer went to 160...Remember going down the highway thinking..this car sure is smooth at 55mph...looked down and was at 100! No shimmy, no shake, no problem...always had to be careful...it was sooooo easy... I miss the manual shift.

Unfortunately, it was like sitting in a bathtub with my legs out straight...at 6'3" with a bad back, I could barely get out...had to sell. Hope you get yours goin once the house is settled...

Dream cars.....just my subject.
I'll start out with the first car I ever wanted...
Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

1969 Road Runner B5 blue in color. My plans were to buy one when I turned 16. In 1974 you could buy the nicest one in town for $1000.00. I had the money, found the car and my Dad said no way. "Son, you'll kill yourself with that." Looking back, he was probably correct. Even now, I still want one.

Next we have....

1970 Plymouth Cuda 340. This was my second choice.....same answer from my father. Roll Eyes

Moving on to present day....

2008 Dodge Viper. Now that I can have anything I want, I don't have the money for it......

Just to show I would buy a new Chevrolet (my friends don't believe I would) a 2008 Corvette Z06 in Atomic Orange. Sign me up.....now!

And finally...just because I like the big old 50's cars....

1956 Packard Caribbean....flagship of the last of the true Packards.

Now what's in my garage?
2003 Dodge Ram Quad Cab
1978 Pontiac Trans Am (one owner and yes, I'll sell it)
1957 Chevrolet (3rd owner and no, I won't sell it)

Packard? What the hell is Packard? It looks like a Chevy and a Caddy.

I was just looking at Bel Airs. I love those. I like the 51 De Luxe:

This is what I drove in H/S..

Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

But mine did not look as good with some cancer from the salt..

The 350 with HR intake and 4bl made it move like lightening! Cool

No 318 or 302 could touch it..A 383 charger did put me in my place one time and I laughed as a AMX (blew by without strain) and made quick order of me! Grin

And the RTS made it handle, I had it going 135 mph one night! GOD the memories!!!
