I have two stories one did not get away and I was a day late and but not a dollar short on the other.
My first story is the car you see in my signature picture. I bought it in 1988 for $500 after a buddy told him the 350 chevy that it had in it was blown up. All that was wrong was the rochester 2 barrels floats were stuck and it wet down the cylinder walls. Raced the car with a 500 cfm 2 barrel and used to run 14.80s at palmdale in So. Cal. The car was great at the street races too. Very unsuspecting people there. Car now has the proper pontiac in its place.
My other story was last week at the Portland OR swapmeet a real PHS documented GTO in need of a resto, but the body looked to be in pretty good condition and it had an engine. I dont know if it was original or not sold for $2900. I was floored when I seen the price and the sold sign.
