Keith, I like the 78-79 Monza wagon parked next to your truck!

I just happened to take this picture yesterday In North Buffalo NY, 70? GP & 63-64 Impala, both have been there on and off for the last 2 weeks I have been here.

Also earlier this week there was a beat up Diesel Chevette in the Tonawanda engine plants parking lot. If it shows up again I will snap a picture.

Wow, diesel Chevette, that is a blast from the past. A friend bought one new in the early 80's. He said it was the slowest accelerating vehicle GM ever made.

I worked as a line mechanic at a Chevrolet dealer in the early 80's. The Chevette with the Izusu diesel and automatic transmission was the slowest thing I ever drove. Even my 1961 VW with a 40HP engine was faster.

It would be cool to get one of these and boost the hell out of it!

Ah yes, the Electra 225. I remember a guy back in the day always talking about getting a Duece and a quarter in white on white on white.
