Typically you'd need 2 pair to do much of anything, so I'd have to have both.

I'd rather have the cars, The others can be built just like those.

Once you've ridden a 2+2, they pretty much all ride the same.

The others, on the other hand.....

Default My 66 Bonneville

Finally got her back on the road this summer! Probably put 4000 miles on her in 4 months! She's got a 428 in place of the 389 and a 3.08 posi in place of the 2.56 open rear. So far I'm seeing 17-19mpg on the hwy (at 75-80mph) and 10-11mpg in the city.

Now that is one sweet looking Bonneville. How about a couple interior and underhood pics?

I owned a '66 Cat similar to that - sorry I sold it 17 years ago (how many of you have a story like that).
Mine was originally burgundy - painted black when I bought it - 421, 4-speed. Original Tri-Power was in the trunk, had an after market 4-BBL on it. My guess is that it was ordered new as a "weekend warrior", since it had almost no options, no PS or PB. Ran like the proverbial raped ape.

Default Vader?

Hey Vaderv6, is that the name of your car? I call mine Vader...because it's shiny, black and evil! It will be when I'm done with it anyway.

Actually, VaderV6 is the license plate on my 1987 Buick Turbo Regal (Black). The Bonnie's plate/name is Tin Indn.

Default Buick's too

Nice, I'm a Buick guy too, I have a 67 GS 400 (currently with 455 and Stage 2 heads)

But the fun is beginning on the Grand Prix...here are some pix.

By the way, the Bonney is beautiful!

Thanks again! I love those 67 GS's. A guy I went to high school with back in '89 used to drive an old rusted & primered 67 GS to school every day. I ran into him again in 2001 at the Buick Nats in Bowling Green and saw that he did a frame on resto in the years that followed high school. He ended up taking 2nd place at the Nats with it!

Good luck with the GP... it looks like you have your work cut out for you (no pun intended). It'll all be woth it when it's done... they just don't make cars like that anymore!
