Default Garage Pic after a video shoot

The other night a video company needed some cars for a NASCAR video and my neighbor suggested my garage.
They were there for quite a while and it became dark by the time they left. When I turned to go back into the garage it looked good with the all the lights on against the darkness outside.
Please excuse the Triumph sign. I did a big favor for a friend of mine on his TR6 and he gave me the sign as a thanks.

NICE

Cool Olds' but you could sell them and with the floorspace opened up have room for a C4, C5, C6

Then you could add on to the cave when the C7 is released

I bought a 64 a few years ago but my son fell in love with it and he bought from me.
Now we can go to cruise nights together.
This pic is from father's day.
My older son has the Spitfire, then me, then my younger guy with the 64 and my friend and his 65.
The yellow Olds is the only car for sale. Once it is sold I will look for a C-2.
I have my eye on a 66 coupe, 427, 425hp that has been laying for over 30 years.
We will see.

Nice to see an OLDS among all the Vettes

It is a music video for NASCAR. I don't know when it will be done but they told me they would send me a copy.

My dumb! thought it was smaller from that angle in the garage.
My Mom drove a 65 Dynamic 88. I learned to drive on that car, great motor 425 two barrel that you couldn't kill. The car rusted to the ground, I pulled the motor out and a guy ran a ski lift with it for years after, and finally the block cracked in the winter for lack of antifreeze!

I had a spitfire that exact color "back in the day"...my wife (then girlfriend) called it "The Grape". A drunk in a jeep sent it to the happy hunting ground when it was parked in front of her mother's house one night.

A witness said the spare tire on the back of the offender's jeep went up over the telephone wires when he hit my car.

Raced this for 13 years. After we broke every imaginable part on this car, it became very fast for its class and reliable.
We were the butt of many pit lane jokes for Two years and then racked up the Championships and the joke was on them.

I agree with how nice your shop is.

I appreciate it when guys post pictures of their garages stuffed full of cars. Makes me feel like I am not so obsessed.
