I have 2 71 Monte Carlos and a 67 Pontiac Catalina fastback. Go here to see pics of the 2 Montes. http://camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/rods92z
They are on the second and third pages.

This is the first day I got my car. It hasn't been lisenced since 1979. I found it 2 miles from my home in a barn. Remarkable condition for a minnesota car. Odometer shows 89,000 miles. It's my dream car. I had my camaro up for sale to get one of these black beautys. But I picked both of my montes up for $1200, so I really didn't have to sell the camaro.

That's a cool f_ckin car dude. What color is that? Like a gunmetal gray? I like.

I used to have a 74 Camaro with a punched out 400. That 2nd gen body style brings back a lot of "mammaries"!!!

BTW, where in IL are you?

1966 Chevrolet Impala, 2 door hardtop. I swear I'm the luckiest 19 on earth to have my dad buy me and him a '66 impala for a project car. too bad I won't have the money to restore it for a few years yet. We got it in fall of '98, and it's been sitting for 90% of the time since, though we did take it out for a drive last november.

No Rust (texas car)
a few dings
73,000 miles,
all original.
dealer AC
283, 3on the tree
fawn interior
black ext.
it runs and drives.
new master cylinder

how much did we get it for???? $640!!! an amazing steal... it's worth over 3k in it's condition.

in the pics, it looks kinda crappy, but that's becuase it's in the early stages of restoration. that's why the hood isn't closed (latch was getting plated) most of the trim is off. the center caps for the Rally wheels aren't on, some of the paint is sanded off etc. etc. I don't have a pic anymore of when we got it, but trust me, it's a beauty.

I have the ones in my sig, plus I just sold a '69 SS396 Camaro last year. Next up I'm planning on a '65 GTO convertible, then maybe a '34 Ford roadster or 3 window. Also want a '62 Impala SS 409 bubbletop.

Here is mine. A 1972 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus. Its a 440/auto car, 4.10 Suregrip, with 20,000 actual miles. Before anyone comments on the hood, I posted a pic of the one I picked up in columbus last feb. for it. I am in the process of restoring/restifying it now. Its stripped to a bare rolling chassie and engine right now and the motor and trans will be out soon. Hope to have it done in time for the 2003 Mopar Nats.








The interior



Actual Miles. And yes I have had the speedo pegged once.



The Road Runner hood.

Not a muscle car, but it's old and it's pretty quick for what it is. It's my first car, drove it for 2 weeks before I decided to get the Z so I wouldn't drive it into the ground.

My car which was a daily driver until I bought the Caprice. It has 65,000 original miles, but I am putting a 455 and a TH400 in. Also putting a GTO front nose on the car to give it a more meaner look since GTOs and LeMans were the same minus the hood and bumper.

I also have a 1968 Pontiac GTO that is going to be done after the LeMans. Ram Air III 400 and a Muncie Rockcrusher trans, it does have posi but have not checked the gearing. It needs alot of work but there are some pics I have that are identical to what mine is going to look like. I'll try to dig them up.

Well here are some pics of the LeMans:

Camrs89 I'd keep the LeMans the way it is.Hardly anybody has one and it is kind of unique looking.It is a very mean looking car as is ,just get some different rims and wider tires and that should give it a tougher look.The GTO nose would line up withe the doors anyway.The bend in the leading edge of the door is diffferent.Those 2 cars are somewhat similar but it is different where it counts.
