1992, TX- Had to buy something today and get to work. This was closest to a GTO I found that day. The perfect GTO popped up next day dammit.
Its a 1970 Buick Skylark Custom, 350/350/4bbl, buckets, pegleg. Again, a troubled time arose and I had to sell and buy something with half the money. But I did get another custom mix color on it. back then your paint vendor would pitch in on materials. Not now!
So back to a Pontiac, but with a Chevy heart...
1995, TX / AR- Found this in front of the new Auto Zone and got it for $1375. Its a 1971 Pontiac Ventura II Sprint. 307 SBC, 2bbl, 3 speed on floor. A buddy of mine not far from here still has it and its fast. When I traded it to him I had a goodwrench 350, Q-Jet, headers, 3.08 posi on multileafs and 4 speed in it. I built it up and took it on my first Power Tour excursion, in 1999.
It was totaled twice while I had it, ( Total loss #3, #4 ) but that helped me get the 74 GTO hood and late TA shaker on it. This color was a stocker, we were in a hurry when paint getn time came so I went with a 4th gen Firebird color,. WA119B, mystic teal.
This pic gives you some idea how long I've had this house!
This is after John traded me a 69 GP and wad of cash for it. Crate stroker, 6-speed, cal-tracs added. 12.2 first time out, nitrous added after. Haven't seen him in awhile but he also has a built up 428 69 Bonne coupe that I painted a hyundai color. Rare car, that one. Anyway yes I painted the hood but did not bond the scoop! The GTO hood is just stashed as far as I know, this was a flat one.
2002, AR- We both worked at the Olds GMC Benz house for 6 yrs.
Theres more pics of these two, we did laps on more than one Power Tour. I've gone eight times, six in the 69 GP. But we'll come back to that car, I still have it and this is just the run-down for kicks.
