Car spotting in the first month of summer - June 2021
oldshurst442 replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
I enlarged the pic to try to see those ventiports, didnt see them. I also noticed that on the side fenders, the turbo Grand National emblem is present and there is no GNX logo on the front grill. I came to a correct conclusion. Unless of course its a clone Grand National. (I dont think so. Its probably a legit GN) But... maybe the the first black Buick Regal in the series could be a clone... @surreal1272 Its a shame for reasons you stated. Yes. But I dont mind stuff like that. I only care if the person that restored a classic, cloned it but passes it off as a legit trim and wants to sell it top dollar passing it off as a legit top dog model. Some clones are done exceptionally well. Especially with today's aftermarket and what is available to restorers to produce clones. If I had the cash flow to do such projects, as you guys know, I want a '70 442 or '73 T/A SD455. If I couldnt get my hands on an original, Id have to build one from whatever Cutlass or Firebird/Camaro I could get my hands on. And yeah...Id clone it as a '70 442 W-30 or '73 T/A SD455. There are plenty of aftermarket sources that would allow me to do that. Fenders. Front ends. Badging. And if the restoration job would be done by a professional (not by me), to the naked eye, it would fool even the very best. Documentation would be the ONLY thing that would reveal the truth about my cloned muscle car. -

That Grand National doesnt look like a GNX. I think its just a regular GN despite the front vanity license plate stating GNX. I would take that 1971 (Im assuming its a '71) orange with tan vinyl top Buick GS. In 2nd place would be that orange 2nd gen F-Body. I want to say its a Camaro. I wouldnt mind that '55 Chevy either. -

Would that be a Charger native to Boston? -
One of MANY reasons. 1. Do as I say, not as I do! 2. Im on TV 3. I get to 'heal' many folk in the name of God. 4. All for a fee, of course! 5. Ill be ordained therefore I get a free pass to heaven 6. I get to 'influence' many into doing things that I want them to do! 7. Ill have my very own singers and dancers dancing and singing in the background. Like I said, sounds like fun! (and lucrative)

Depending, but Ill tell you one thing...french girls between the ages of 15 (when one is also 15...) and 30, are just hot hot hot and a boy gets to learn a helluva lot about the female body and how it works with a french girl, if you know what I mean... -

Somehow, I totally understand that statement... -
2 thoughts 1. I want to poo poo on Tampa Bay's parade. But I simply cannot do that. 2 in a row! Back2Back! Good on the Lightning! AWESOME PERFORMANCE...AGAIN! Except 18 million over the cap will forever remain in my thoughts and I will ALWAYS place an asterisk on this Stanley Cup victory even if nobody else might not... 2. I wonder why one becomes a TV evangelist and how could I become one... Seems to be like a fun career! Lucrative too!
-
Ferrari or Lamborghini might want to challenge you on that statement. EDIT: I just realized you said sedan. Sorry! My bad! Yup...Tesla sedans burn faster than any other sedans. Maybe when/if the roadster 2.0 comes out to play, then Tesla could own the 2 door sports car fastest burning record as well stripping it away from the Italians.

Its been a long time since an interesting car coming through my drive-thru. But today I served a gentleman in his 60s driving an air cooled Porsche 911. Brown coupe from the early 1970s I assume. Light tan interior. I assume that it was from the 1970s because the seat fabric had a weird pattern to them. Fuchs wheels. I didnt ask him about his car. I did say to him that I liked his 911. He looked like he could be a doctor so I asked him if he was. He said close, dentist. So...a dentist with a brown 1970s Porsche 911 coupe came by to have a couple of hot dogs today. He made my day.

Canadians are worth double what Americans are worth in the market place, I guess....

Since my momma passed away, and I had to clear out her house, I realized all the useless shyte we end up buying over the course of our lifetime. We buy all kinds of junk that just ends up in the garbage. All that money wasted could be put to better and more FULFILLING use. My wife and I, she was always like that tho, but we have more or less adapted a more of a minimalist lifestyle since the passing of my mom. Her mom passed away last year and we have DEFINATELY been steered that way since then.

Thinking about yesterday... It was 245 years ago that the US fought for Independence from the bloody Brits!

thanx. I told her. Our marriage is at the point where nothing stupid I do surprises her. She just looked at me like with a look as if I was a child. A messy, awkward child. Didnt say a word to me and immediately went out to clean her car. Yup...she loves me!!! FOR SURE!!! When I say lots and lots of money. I am talking about an ungodly amount of money. Top 1%er amounts of money. Several billions. When I say mansion, not in the real definition of a mansion either. Even with an ungodly amount of money, the house would be no bigger than 2200-2500 square feet. I own a 2000 sq. foot home now. Them kids of mine will eventually leave the nest, whenever that would be, there is no rush, and my wife and I WILL downsize even from this house @ 2000 sq. feet. 1978 sq feet to be exact. And yeah... Id travel the world SEVERAL time over myself!

I could eat a Big Mac AND a Quarter Pounder w/cheese in my car while driving without making a mess. Done that hundreds of times. But somehow, one measly Grand Big Mac and the lettuce and sauce is flying everywhere. On my seat. On my pants. The steering wheel. Oh boy was there sauce on the steering wheel!!! (Its a good thing I was driving my wife's car. Shhhhhh....dont anybody tell her. She'll throw a conniption my way)

Ive been visiting Canadian Tire a lot lately. But with good reason. Its been a place to see hot cars in the parking lot. Ferrari 812 Superfast I asked permission to photograph his car. A young guy. In his 40s. WHAT A SOUND THIS THING MAKES!!! Ferrari V12s are AWESOME!!!

Cute! And awesome that Greek Mythology could still entertain and enlighten folk.

If I had lots and lots of money...I mean lots of it...like...a lot. Id own a mansion. Nothing too big. But big enough to have a game room. No pool table or bar...but an arcade game room. Id have maybe 20-25 even 30 vintage arcades. You know, the standards. The classics. Donkey Kong. Pac Man. Arkanoid. Mortal Kombat. QBert. Space Invaders etc... Pinball games. Bad Cats. Terminator 2. High Speed 1 and 2. Older classics like KISS etc... Id have movie posters on the walls. Neon Lights a la 80s with different motifs like Cocktail the movie neon. Movie props here and there like a life size Darth Vader and a Terminator figure. Robocop.... A Millennium Falcon. That sort of thing. And right smack in the middle of that game room would be this fantastic piece...

Crack in the frame sounds like an expensive fix. Almost a catastrophic failure type of problem to where maybe your Olds might be scrapped if you are not willing to fix it. I hope I am not correct with my analysis.
