A Horse With No Name

Glad to see that you are doing this GMTG. I am thinking seriously of going cash only for my future car buys. Methinks its the only way I'm ever going to get what I want. Chris

Actually I prefer the 55 Pontiac by a strong margin. That being said...WOW...what a car!!! Thanks TED. Chris

That is a good deal. Chris

True. I remember reading about how a factory Tri Power Pontiac (Catalina IIRC) went to the crusher whole a few years ago in Cali. Also, someone turned in a fully restored award winning 41 Chevrolet Pickup truck, stock restored, that also went to the crusher. Read about that one too...I think someone's relative died and they just sold it to the Clunker program and they crushed it. Chris

Dude, you have NO IDEA. Before this program, at Ace Iron and Scrap, where I scrap Copper wire, LOTS of Caddy's buicks and Olds, many of them easy fixes, were dropped into the crusher whole. I'm talking some nice looking vehicles, cars that look as nice as your Impala or even better. Like Ted said, the wasting of cars is against my religion. Chris

+1 Chris

I am just so sad the Targa is going away... That being said, I've seen a bunch of third gen Camaro's of all varieties, ranging from Race cars to an 82 Indy Pace Cars to Iroc convertible to....god only knows. After not seeing them around in seemingly forever all of a sudden it's 1988 again around here. Enjoying it. Chris

Hopefully things work out well for you...a friend in Georgia, a new truck in the driveway, and a new boyfriend to keep you warm at night. You would be a happy guy! Chris

And the Color on that one is just perfect, GMCTG74. Plus the interior looks great. Chris

I say go for it. One of my friends is a math teacher (now retired) who always drove Park Avenues. HE never failed to get at least 250,000 miles out of one of them. He did have to replace a supercharger on an Ultra and that wasn't cheap. If you get that and I get a MINI Cooper S or a Cobalt SS/TC we could havea C nd G forced induction club. NOS, HyperV6, You, me...Get 68 to get a turobdiesel benz, I think other people here own forced induction. Sounds like a fun club to be in. Chris

Sounds like a nice Truck, blu. Although I would do ext cab. And Green, I like that green as well as the blue. I am thinking my next truck will be Chevy and prob. not Ford. Thinking the 61-66 Bodystyle in a short bed half ton either stepside or fleetside. Thnking I'd like to find 64-66 GMC short bed, but that may be tough. If not that 48-55 Advance design series. Wish I could afford the 41-47 "art Deco" series... Chris

Actually Caddycruiser, I am starting to have some fait that GMwlgte next genration of cars really really right. Hopefully when they can put "all of their eggs in one basket..." Chris

Not sure. I am noticing Toyotas being traded on American Iron around here, and fewer American cars traded in on Toyotas. Chris

Good. Let them give up the Tundra. Or let the plant bleed them dry. Toyota got lazy. They never put the design and marketing $ into Scion to make it keep on going and growing after getting it off of the ground. Chris

Weeping Willow

Do we have any production estimates of # built? Chris

This would actually be a Phantom or clone I could see myself building. I've always wanted an older truck....HMMM...start with a 71 El-Camino....build a "tribute" vehicle.... Can almost feel the big block rumble. Chris

Happy Birthday! Chris

Looks best in blue IMHO. What is rare is the HHR SS Panel van. Any production #'s on those? Chris

Saw a Jon Cooper Works MINI Cooper S, a MINT 63 Impala 4 Door, a BMW series 1, and a Pontiac G6 Convertible/hardtop, all on the top row of a car carrier. Chris

Sweet car, TED. And that truck I thought was a 67? Learned two things. Only saw it from the drivers side, so I assumed it was a two door. but today, running an errand at work, I actually ran across the truck in an employee parking lot. It's a 72 with a 67 Nose. If I get a chance I'll nail it with some pics. Chris

+1 I would agree with that. Gm will loose out with a one size fits all philosophy. Chris

If you do, good luck! Chris

I'm a very hairy working class guy from Ohio. If I kiss you you will be (or become) straight. Kissing me would be enough to make you give up men. Chris

I'm glad yhou own yours, hyper. I've been noticing them more and more. The only thing I have against the HHR SS is that too many of them seem to be painted red. Chris
