Personal type Stuff

Well, Al. What kind of cars did (do) you own?

It all started with a 54 Chev, Bel-Air, 6 auto. I still have nightmares.

• '65 Nova SS. Factory 327-300 Hp, 4 speed, posi, tach, gauges etc.. My first love.
  Last I heard it was in Kelowna. I want it back.
• 68 Plymouth GTX, 383 with 10000# torque, good tire fryer.
• 67 RS-SS Camaro, 4 speed.
• 68 Firebird, 350 "all done up", good car, fast. The guy I sold it to rolled it on the first corner.
• 76 Formula Firebird, what happened? Not near the car the 68 was.
• 70 Corvette 350-350 Hp, 4 speed. Beautiful. Can you say "baby", well, good-bye Vette.
• 69 SS Camaro, 350, this was a fixer-upper that I let someone with bigger dreams fix up.
• 66 Pontiac Parisienne, Huge boat, but it was packing a factory 396 and turbo 400.
• 70 Nova SS, 350-300 Hp, 4 speed. A mouse died in the headliner, whew!
• 67 Chevelle SS396 auto, it even came with a 427 in the trunk. The start of it all.
• 67 Malibu, 327-4 speed, buckets, console, Gold and more gold.
• 67 Malibu 327-auto, buckets, console, air, Nantucket blue with Black vinyl top.
• 67 Chevelle SS396-350 Hp, 4 speed Convertible. Gold with black buckets and console.
• 67 El/Camino, 327, auto, air, tach, tilt, gauges, loaded. Maroon with black bench.
• 67 Malibu, 283, auto, black with black buckets.
• 67 Chevelle, 4 door, hey, it was clean.
• 66 Chevelle, bought for parts, wow! Almost nothing off a 66 fits a 67, really! A little different.
• 63 Impala, 327 auto, factory air, 60,000 miles. White with Blue interior. Great cruiser.
• 67 Malibu, 283, auto, Emerald Turquoise with black interior. 40,000 original miles,
  
• 67 Chevelle SS396-325 Hp, Convertible, 3 spd. Auto, heavily optioned, matching everything.
  
• '81 GMC 2 wheel drive. This truck hauled car trailers all over the country.
• '83 Camaro, V-6 5 speed, Black. My daughters car. Want some free advice? Teach your kid(s) to learn to drive on a standard, then they are set for life.
• '81 GMC 3/4 ton 4X4. 350 from 69 camaro.... needs the extra power because it has a full swivel hydraulic snow blade on the front... ( I hate shoveling snow! ).
• '86 Chev heavy 1/2 ton pickup. Air, tilt, cruise, pwindows and all the rallye options. Nice truck for swap meeting.
• '94 Z/28 Camaro. 350 injected, 6 speed, glass t-tops, air, tilt, tach, pwindows, pseats, cruise etc. GM scored a winner with this one. Damn fast and fun to drive too! Green/Blue in color.... should be a real treat to color match someday.

The Current Fleet:

• The SS396 mentioned above....sshhh! .... currently sleeping in rickety old garage.
• 2005 Harley Electra-Glide Classic ... aka: Geezer-Glide
• 2005 Harley Nostalgia Deluxe, my wife, Dot's bike.
• 1999 GMC Yukon, affectionately named "Yogi".
• 1989 GMC Jimmy, used to be my daughters, the only vehicle I ever bought twice ;) - named Boo Boo
• 2002 Camaro 35th LE - kinda got this by accident as I was kidding the dealer that the only way he could get our 94Z out of my hands was to find me a 35th. They did find one, traded a vette out of their inventory to a dealer who was allotted this SS, #C369, couldn't resist .9% financing. I hummed and hawed as this one became available and thought, well, if this was the 60's again and I could buy a new SS, would I? Wasn't going to miss out twice in one lifetime. Nickname? T2 (the 94Z was called Toughy, so... )
• 2006 Silverado 2500 - Duramax Diesel
• 1970 Custom El Camino

That about does it for vehicles that are interesting, lots of others have come and gone, both small and big blocks, but I wouldn't want too many people to know what a sucker I am for junk, so I won't mention the boo-boos.
