Its been less then a day and there are already a lot of great entries
 
This was taken when I went to college it 2004. It sat here until 2008 when I brought it to NJ and put the new engine in it.

The next 3 were taken at my friend mikes house the winter of 2003/2004. He had the '78 Regal. It was a really nice car. He doesnt own it now. I had put a set of 15" Irocs on it for winter tires.




This was taken the day after I bought my car. I bought it the end of September 2002. 10 years ago.



I have now owned my car for 10 years and it still looks the same. Just ALOT more horsepower!

sorry the pictures are sideways
 
The 1st one is my first car a 1981 Regal T Top i bought from the junk yard for $75
It needed floor pans and the paint was all cracked so bad... Took me months of sanding and we painted it in my garage.
The interior i took out of a cutlass supreme i bought for $75 from a junk yard.. The interior was perfect!
We then installed a turbo 350 trans with a chevy 350 and posi traction rear.
It was a great project i completed with my father.

The next one is a 1985 Cutty 4dr on 20" this was 1999 (i can tell cause i have a house arrest bracelet on)
I was one of the 1st one down south rolling 20" wheels.. Car got me a lot of trim , seriously that right there was the pimp car... That car fetched snatch like crazy... My friends would call like lets go find some girls. Not the nicest car but boy did it attract the girls.

The last pic is my 1985 Brougham bought it with 50k original from a old lady in my neighborhood(black)
my brothers 83 Cutlass Supreme (white) was bought from a 80 year old couple who owned lots of warehouses , they bought a warehouse and this car was parked in the back corner for many years had only 18k miles and still smelled new inside all those years later... Wish i could find one like it ... Both cars were totaled 🙁

Hera are a cople of my first g-body, a 79 GrandAm that I purchased in 84 and had until 1990 when a non-existant rear frame finally let go. It had a 301-2bbl with automatic. buckets with console and pretty much stock. The top picture was taken in front of the house I was renting with a couple of buddies. They had been working on the watermain all summer and one evening when I got home they had finally paved the hole in front of the house. Well what was I suposed to do except lay down a couple of patches. This was soon followed by several freinds joining in including a 350 olds powered malibu, a v6 cutlass supreme and a 6 cyl CJ5 (It cost him a rear diff). A good time was had by all.

The 2nd is the same GrandAm in the pits at Englishtown NJ for the 9th annual HighPerformancePontiac magazine event. I drove 10 hours from home to get there with my then GF (sitting of the hood), participated int he drags and won 1 round in P2 class, then drove home on sunday. I would generally run 17.50`s and lost round 2 by breaking out by .12 after forgetting to let off with a 4 car lengh lead at the line. oh well.

My current Lemans is painted in the exact same colors as my GrandAm and my wheels are the same ones that I kept for 20 years knowing I would have another one someday. I actually still have the front clip and SUN tach from my GrandAm.

Hope you enjoyed. deanlemans81
