Any classic muscle car people?

[JohnVH]

Restoring my first GM car, 67 camaro, anyone else into musclecars?

[Russ McDonald]

Love them  got rid of my 66' Mustang when I lived in California.  Wish I hadn't done that but it was a project and didn't have the money or time.  Dream car is a 69' Camaro SS with a 302DZ engine.  My brother and I helped my uncle and dad build a 55' Ford F100 351 Cleveland and a 32' Ford two door sedan with a 302.  Grew up around hot rods back in Minnesota.  My dad had a 73' Roadrunner with a 440 in it.  My uncle had this 32' Ford coupe with open headers red kind of like Harrison Ford's in American Graffiti.  My first car was a 73' charger it was a rust bucket but my car. 

[Woodchuck]

Great car to start with. Parts fairly available. Great lines. Think 6.0 LS stroked to 408. Wilwood discs all the way around.

Thats pretty much what mine will look like completed!  I restored a 71 bronco years ago, but had to sell it.  Excited to get this thing done, but have alot of 'old chevy' to cut off it. haha!

Which reminds me, Im in need of the upper sail panels, the very tops of the quarters that meet the roof, if anyone knows anyone with those.  They dont just sell that top sections.

[gr8whthunter]

been around muscle cars all my life, helped my neighbor build a couple when i was younger, had a 64 malibu that i started to tinker on but it needed wayyy to much money to get it going so i had to get rid of it, did the same thing with a 1976 camaro... i will own one some day though

My uncle had this 32' Ford coupe with open headers red kind of like Harrison Ford's in American Graffiti.

I think Harrison Ford's character drove the hopped up 55 Chevy and the other guy, John Milner or something like that, drove the yellow Ford Coupe.  In fact, didn't Harrison Ford's character have a line in the movie where he called the color of the Ford Coupe, baby sh*t yellow or something? lol

I bought a 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500 XL 2dr fastback many years ago, with the intentions of making it a restoration project but I never seemed to get around to doing anything with it and it sat in my folks shop for about 10yrs until a friend of a friend made me an offer I couldn't refuse.  At least at the time I thought I couldn't refuse it but looking back now, even though I more than doubled my money, I sold it to cheap or maybe should have just hung on to it.

I don't know my Chevy's as well as I do my Ford's but was the 67 Camaro the one and only year for wing windows??  Bone stock all original cars are really cool but I love the retro-mod stuff the best.  Build em up bigger and badder than when they rolled off the showroom floor but keep the original look, mostly, the same.

I was wrong your correct on the cars.  It was like the car milner drive in the movie.

Yep been around them my whole life. Currently have a 69 Camaro that was running and driving 3 years ago. Tore it down to do the body work it needed and now with a new baby and work being crazy not much time to work on it. I also have a 65 Chevelle 2 door post car that was my fathers that needs some work to be road worthy again.

As well as a 80 Malibu 2 door that will be just 1/4 mile track rat hopefully next summer I know not exactly a classic but they do make decent drag cars.

Currently considering selling the Camaro  to help fund the work the Chevelle needs so I can at least get one on the road and maybe get a camp trailer for the family outings.

Sold my '66 mustang and put the money into my '77 bronco

[cooltimber]

Many memories in my 75 vette,sold it to buy my daughter a mustang 04 convertible 4 college,hmmmm!

[gaddy]

sold my 69 boss mustang during my first year of college in 79. between the judge and insurance and college it wasn't possible to keep. boy do I wish I had just put it under raps. one of my biggest regrets, still miss her today. for some reason those cars seem to have a really light throttle, you could bury the spedo and still have 1/4 pedal left. many a cop car fell behind her and the only ones that caught her were because of unsafe conditions. one of which was a date that sunk her fingernails into my arm so deep that it drew blood, just as I was hitting 4th gear. and bronco's, had a 72 half cab, 3 on the tree, I traded for a automatic pu. another mistake!

Can't believe one would ever do such a thing.

haha, yep, only seen one other AAR in my life, pretty rare machine, he does have pictures of it still.  He also burned up a '67 SS396 chevelle on the freeway, doh!  My old boss at a body shop, when they were younger, they would buy 55-57 chevy's and have derby's with them... 

I also know a guy, that had a real Shelby AC Cobra!

In MN there was a guy that had a AAR Cuda when i was growing.  He would always come over bs with my dad.  Loved that car.

[Russ McDonald]

Here are some of the cars I grew up around.

[baker5150]

Me and my old man have restored a few over the years. 

Started with a 32 Model A coupe.  Went all Original in the resto, fun to put around in.

Then a 23 T bucket military truck.  PITA to drive but turned some heads.

Then a 69 Mustang convertible.  351 W I think.  All original resto except a color change to red.

Now a 75  vette  nothing special, just got a good deal on it

Ill see if I can find some pics tonight.

i can ask... at one point they had 3-4 parts cars... but i think most are gone. What are you after?

I need the top 'sail' portion of the rear quarter panels, that meet up to the roof and come down to the base of the windows.  Nobody makes that part, you have to buy a complete quarter at $300 each to get one, I need both :/

I appreciate it, and any interior parts they may have!
