Camino LS6

Had the 6.0, it ran great but was a bigger pig than the 8100 big block! Go with the 5.3.

I like the grille that size... and... IT"S A ZETA!

I know about a Roadmonster wagon that needs a new home. PM me if you are interested and I'll check on specifics and if it is still available. It is local to me in PA. IIRC, it is a well-maintained, high mile car. Alternatively, I have a Maserati for sale...

More! More!

I see promise in that one, Burns.

Congrats to both of you! Looks like I was on the mark with my guess as well - you are SO predictable , Fly! j/k Have fun with it, and welcome to the C&G mid-seventies club. :AH-HA_wink:

Recommended hint: Tell us if it is bigger or smaller than your Aurora.

I'm going to guess a RWD Buick from the 80s or older. Unless he bought out of character it will have 4 doors.

Happy Birthday!

I always have more on my plate than I have time to deal with. So, things get sidelined now and then while I deal with "The List".

I'm there way too often, if you see one of my vehicles there stop in, I'll most likely be shooting the breeze with their lead service advisor. He is a good friend of mine and with all of my automotive endeavors that's a good thing.

Auto locking hubs. They are decent trucks and only the '87-'91s have EFI, so those are the ones to look for. Biggest issue will likely be rust. I can't think of anything different between an '89 and a '90 or '91.

Lifetime total?! Something north of 400.

Just as ugly as the day it was new. :AH-HA_wink: Sorry guys, but I have always hated these cars and the diesel makes it even worse. The previous style Seville was a classy ride though.

Del Chevrolet in Paoli, PA. Highly recommended. They take care of my Pontiacs as well.

The Hawk wheel looks small to me too, but the funny thing is that it is a 17" wheel and the wagon runs 15s. I think it is a combination of the low-profile tire on the Hawk wheel and the fact that the rear is dropped down because the wagon is on jackstands. I won't be using those wheels anyway, the offset isn't compatible.

Jumped back into the project over the last few days. Before I started in, I tried one of my Firehawk wheels on the wagon just to see how it would look. I've been doing lots of sanding, priming and painting: upper and lower control arms and the crossmember primarily. As you can see in the pics I got a bit a carried away with the details by sanding the sandblasted parts smooth, using a coat of rust converter, priming, sanding again , and finally finish paint. The large parts (inner fender wells, rad support) were blasted and painted by the sandblast guy I use and are ready to be re-installed as soon as I complete the frame, firewall and front suspension. Take a look at the pics of the crossmember and you will see the results of using this Rust Fix stuff from Plastikote. Stange stuff: it sprays on clear, then turns a pen ink blue, and finally dries to a black primer finish. It seems to work ok, but it takes FOREVER to dry. The parts were sandblasted but had some deep rust pits so I decided to try this stuff as a base coat just to kill any remaining rust. I have also removed all of the old ball joints and bushings from the control arms and am ready to install the new ones on two of the arms. I am going to wait until I have the other two arms ready though, because I need to borrow a press to install them.

Too bad. Not a fan of Berretas, but I hate to hear about unique stuff being scrapped. I know that many of the recent Camaro "festival" cars were sold -off, but most of them had their decals removed by the dealers who sold them.

75 were built? Does that mean some of them were sold to the public?

The description " grudging admiration" comes to mind.

Three strikes and you're out. Toyota STILL can't build a real full-size pickup. No long-time domestic truck buyers who hear of this will ever consider a Tundra as an option. Say goodbye to conquest sales,Toyota. Good.

I wouldn't be too surprised to see something like that from Chevy in the next few years.

Sounds like you could use an HHR, Satty.

I will always have V8s.
