$12000 is a lot for a Chevette, but it is hardly big money? However, $125,000 for a VW 23 window van is collectable money.

What is your definition of a collectable car?
Was the Chevette diesel powered?

That was the first thing I asked Steve when he told me he bought it.

No, it was a gasser as was the other one at the auction..

Oh yes Mike, that different grille makes the T1000 right up there with a Rolls...........

That made me think of the online buildup of the T1000 that went to Norwalk one year, with the rompin stompin 301 transplant.

Now that was a car to remember.............

Steve had a rather eclectic taste for all kinds of vehicles but the one constant amongst them all was that they had some effect on automotive history. He had everything from an AMC Pacer to the Tasca Ford T-Bolt as well as Lamos and a Viper.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
