GBOTM: October '12 Entries Thread

[Blake442]

Here is my 442 in front of my dads old house, and burning the tire :lol: in the parking lot at vo-tech.
Both of these were taken in October 2001.

Here it is at the service station I used to work at in May 2003, right after I got the 350 running...

And here is my '84 El Camino in front of the same station, October 2000.
You can't see it, but gas was $1.56 a gallon... 😢

Behind the station, spring 2002... You can see the hearse in the background.

I've got pictures of my '81 Regal, '79 Cutlass and '87 Cutlass that I need to scan one of these days...

Did some digging in an old box of memories..........

First one is a '78 Century Sport Coupe I bought in '82 as a winter beater. Power windows and locks, good suspension, quick ratio steering, aluminum bumpers and a tired 305. Eventually, a '75 Caprice sacrificed its 400 small-block and the power finally caught up with the suspension. After becoming a homeowner, I traded it for a 350 Olds-powered pickup.

This one was one of my company cars from '83 thru '87 when I managed a GMC dealership. By '93 I missed my Cabelleros enough to locate and buy the '87 Camino that I still own today.

I got the '86 Regal Limited for my wife in '87 as a project car. With only 12k miles, it was stolen, stripped of its front clip, doors, tires, wheels, and recovered. I bought it from the original owner and trailered it home. The first shot shows it as I drove it off the trailer, with a battery strapped to the frame rail. After putting it together in my garage, she drove it for 7 more years.

Cool contest. It certainly brought back some fond and not-so-fond memories of G bodies long gone.
