Not ready for cruising yet. But I'm getting there.

My 74 Pro Street Monte Carlo.

I haven't driven it in years due to a cooked engine but hope to, one day, get it back on the road.

The "Canadian Chevelle"... very rare, awesome car! To give the viewing public an idea of how rare, only 702 hardtop 1968 Pontiac Beaumont SD396's were manufactured. By comparison, the above 1970 Nova stock 350 had a run of 138,000. Don't see many of them south of the border, and certainly not in that condition

My summer cruiser...is the same thing as my winter cruiser.



It's not the BMW I want, but until (if) I can get my back fixed, I'm not dropping $30k on a new car. This one is comfortable, dependable, and paid off. Three things I really love in a car.

Hi Ty
Nice looking Nova....your 1970 Nova brings back a lot of memories of the early 1970's. I had a 1970 Ford Maverick with a stick shift on the floor. And me and my buddy,
who had a 1970 Nova, loved to race our cars.

In the Fall of 1972, I acquired the 1957 T-Bird.....and, that was perfect timing. The movie "American Graffiti" came out in 1973 with all those classic cars in it. Including,
Suzanne Sommers who was driving a 1956 T-Bird. It was a very popular movie, and by 1975 the 1955-1957 T-Birds and the early 1950's Corvettes had tripled in value.
It's Willow Green color is quite rare. Of the 24,000 T-Birds manufactured in 1957, only 270 cars were produced with this color.

American Graffiti is one of my favorite movies. Still have the double LP soundtrack

The Nova is a straight grandmas grocery runner. Coolest grandma I ever knew. Unfortunately, cowl tag indicates original color was gold. The stock 350 and Rochester Quadrajet carb gets me about 6-8 miles per gallon, but at 10+ head-turns per mile that's alright. Traded a stripped down 2500 pound missile 1973 Oldsmobile Omega for it; that car was scary fast

Not a car but my summer ride a 1993 Kawasaki ZX-6 Ninja with many upgrades. It is the Buzz Lightyear model.

Bought this as a beat-around 4x4 a few years back. Brought it to my mechanic to check it out. He was astounded by the shape it was in. He said, "I wouldn't drive it in the winter", "I wouldn't take it on the beach". So now I garage it in the winter.
So technically it is my "Summer Cruiser"

Nice Bronco there..i used to own a 84 full-size. I took the top off 1 time. It was great working on them back in the days. I upgraded everything on mine. Mine was a 351 Windsor 4 barl carb and mid-rise intake and put headers on that baby and it screamed like a beast. Also re-did the rear end to give it more of a getty-up and go, as I never used the 4x4 function. Oh the memories I had.

Which takes me to this Ebay auction-- Dale Jr. has time off to sell off his cars!!!
