Well, it is hard to admit, but the Pontiac was not the highlight of this sighting. Both the GTX (440) and the Chevelle (427) are off-the-charts. He says that if he had to have only one car it would be the Olds. But… when he has to go on a trip he takes the Grand Prix. Why? I know it will make it anywhere I want to go without question. I seriously doubt that any of the other cars would not fall into that category. The gentleman who has this collection is bar none the most talented machinist and engine builder I have ever run across. He also secretly does body and paint work that is incredible. He owned a body shop for a long time as well as a parts store, speed shop etc. He now only does repairs and machine/engine work as he has for nearly 50 years. I went to drop off some control arms to have the bushings pressed in, and he gave my son and I a hands-on crash course in paint and body work for well over an hour from the truck cab in primer in the shop to the finished Chevelle that he fully sanded from 800-3000 AFTER getting it back from the paint shop (guys he has worked with for 30 years). They did not see anything wrong with it. According to him the clear looked white. I am pretty sure they are not making men like this anymore.
