Thanks everyone
Pics, eh...let me see...
This is the only one I have with the '97 in it. It's my winter car. needs a paintjob though
This is the '70 in 2003, right out of the paint booth, and I had all the trim and chrome back on. New weatherstrips, everything, it looked like a brand new car. It was sideswiped in '05 while parked, exposing a lot of 1/4 panel problems. I bought a '71 Skylark convertible and cut the entire rear half of the car off for the good, original GM 1/4s and trunk but never got around to putting them on the car. I need to sell this car, had it since '89 but I never drive it now, been in storage for 4 years...depressing. The only thing I didn't do to this car was the upholstery, and I didn't build the transmission or rear end and I didn't spray the color. I used to love working on this thing
1973 block Buick 455 bored .030" over, 7/8" primary headers, T/A performance timing cover and oil pump, T/A roller rockers, T/A Stage 1 aluminum heads, split duration cam, blah blah blah. Never had it dyno'd but 400+ (gross) hp on paper, and it stared with over 500 lb/ft at 2200 rpm, no idea how much now but I could win a tug of war with a tow truck. It's mated to a built TH350 (same bolt pattern as the 400 and the TH350 is lighter than the TH400, so what the heck, trannys die eventually anyway) and ends in a Chevy 12 bolt at 3.31:1, the engine murdered the original Buick 10 bolt but the transmission has held up
This used to be a typical scene...it stopped snowing? Oh good, I can install a cam and the roller rockers out in the cold. Get me the halogen work lights so I can see
These heads scream "port me"
Here's the '07 Solstice GXP. Love this car, but as I say, it and me are probably destined to part ways. So much fun to drive though. This is the same one I first test drove in '07, and I broke the tires free in gears 1-4; the road was too short to try for 5th but being overdrive anyway, I wouldn't count on it!
