i just saw the new subie campaign on the television and i must say it is quite funny.

there is a white 72 t-top here in anderson saddle interior. sharp sharp car. one of the last good looking classic vettes.

i used to tease my cousin that if i won the lottery i'd buy everyone in the family am corvette of the year they were born... she was born in 83 hehehe

i couldnt take a picture of it because i was talkin on the phone but i passed a red 997 carerra s turbo on the interstate with two kayaks strapped to a rack on the roof... surely he could have afforded a beater ranger or something for that...

just saw this on the way home from work turned around to get the pic because kenosha is poorly represented...

crap i got prolly 30 or so together in the box. daytonas, 1500's, chevelles, camaros, novas you name it. i have recently slowed up on them though due in part to the fact that most are $15+ a pop... i just picked up a 64 electra that i am itching to get together from hobby lobby. i stock up when their 30% off special is on.

ooh first cars up... this sat in a used car lot for about a week. it had been sitting for sale at a local gas station before that. painted a 2001 bmw silver. fawn interior, 389 4bbl.30 over with a comp cam, 3sp th400. originally white, it had factory air which was removed for some dumb dumb reason, needed a radio, and all the trim needed replacing or replating. the paint was immaculate and of course no price... i'd imagin he wanted 15-17K but the car was a 12-15K at its very best day. had 47,000 on the odometer but thats prolly the second time around, who knows maybe not... then theres this guy... im not sure what to make of it... it reminds me of the pre-GN packages that ran around in 83... there was one in anderson that was the grey on black "prototype" non turbo GN's before the omminous all black ones showed up. any guesses?

happy bday yo

seen a blacked out dodge durango rt 5.9 in hellen georgia last week.

an orange dodge viper vert in a bilo parking lot... not exactly my idea of a grocery getter...

i have been seeing a crap load of ZR-5 and crewcab s-10's lately.

they were a top source of parts for the impy. them and impala bobs. classic industries is good too.

The original press release: The down economy has claimed another victim—The Paddock, a mainstay in the muscle car parts business for over 40 years. Indianapolis-based Key Auctioneers (www.KeyAuctioneers.com) announced today that it will auction the company’s parts inventory, showroom items, collectibles, vehicles, and equipment at the company’s 60,000-square-foot Knightstown facility. The July 29 auction is expected to draw thousands of muscle car enthusiasts from the Midwest and beyond. The Paddock has been a leading supplier of muscle car parts for several decades. Its thirteen parts lines represent some of America’s most popular muscle cars, including Mustang, Corvette, GTO, and Camaro. Company founder Jim O’Neil started The Paddock in 1965, restoring muscle cars in a small shop in Knightstown. By 1979, the company was manufacturing Mustang steel patch panels. The company’s first Mustang catalog was printed soon thereafter and the company started to grow by word of mouth. In 1980, the first Camaro catalog was printed. In 1998, Wes Watts, a former parts manager for the local Chevrolet dealership, purchased the company from O’Neil. Over the years the company added Firebird, GTO, Chevelle, Nova, Cutlass, Impala and other catalogs to its muscle car line. In 2001, Watts built a state-of-the art 60,000-square-foot facility to accommodate his growing business. According the Watts, the economic downturn of the last three years, along with the credit crisis, contributed to the company’s demise. Key Auctioneers Senior Vice President Tim Boeglin said the company’s intellectual property was garnering a high degree of interest. Included in the intellectual property are the company’s name and trademarks, million-name customer list, websites, catalogs, and phone numbers. source http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/paddock-closes-its-doors-after-40-a-5779.html# ... what a loss the restoration community just took. one great parts supplier gone.

grid is a good racing game and also burnout paradise. lately i have been rocking out the N64 with Goldeneye and perfect dark. they dropped word at E3 this year that there is a remake of the 007 goldeneye in the works. JOY!

happy bday camino

happy bday yo

a cale yarburogh edition mercury cyclone spoiler. red and white (cause the dan gurneys are blue and white) a lone car on a hauler heading towards interstate 85... man i wish i had my camera out in time to snag it. it needed a resto but it was complete. dont thing i have ever seen one in person, they seem kinda rare.

we were at the georgia aquarium. i guess they were on their summer vacation... heheh had too.

seen a jeepster the other day. how about the little dodge rampage trucks? the little turbo dusters are around from time to time. the 80's daytonas and the omnis too.

well its been a busy month for me but i got pics i will maybe load them later but i have seen a big 10 chevy, 427-r mustang on a car hauler full of buicks toyotas and other apliance cars, a mustang II in very good shape..., early 70's gmc stepside, a 70's fomoco wagon with woodgrain and puke green paint. gt-r, a marauder. and i am sure i left some others out. edit

t-type. gn parts are getting scarce as far as body goes but man they are mean lookin. id got for a WE4 mainly. a guy in high school had a 69 opel gt. that was pretty cool. maybe a spitfire or tr6 from the early 70's.

to all the vets here on C&G's. Thank you all for your service. happy memorial day everyone. take time to thank a service man or woman. remember those that served and gave the ultimate sacrifice.

a late model ZR1 clone. thought it was one at first then noticed that the plexiglass dome on the hood was missing and there wasnt a carbon fiber roof.. the thing had badges wheels, even the ducts for the brakes.

http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/rare-1954-corvette-pulled-field-upstate-5337.html check out this 54 vette that has been hanging out in a field for decades. it reminds me of the story of the vette up in the mountains that was just recently rescued last year.

was crusing street legal tv and came across this video. http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/big-block-engine-explodes-big-way-5385.html holy crap that was intense.
