Default A perfect day Big Pics

Went to a car show today. We had great weather, 70s in the shade and had lots of tree's and a good breeze. :D I won a new colmen flash light and a new cap as door prized, no plack this time but what the hay you cant ask for much more. :cheers:
Took alot of pic's so here ya go. :cool:

The blue 68 roadrunner has a 383 and is what the local shariff chases me around town in. :D :jester The 69 charger next to his, he gave to his girlfrend to fix up this ,thing has a 440 Magnum in it. :eek:


My car on the right. The 68 vert next to me is sharp bronz in color, he's from Oklahoma. The other two belong to the same guy and I guess he has a few more stashed away somewhere.


If I were to get a ford this is what it would be. :blueangel:
Mercury on the right and I think a 41 on left. The ford has a very well done gold plated trim interior.

Guess whats in this vette. :U It's for sale to.

1961 Impala SS :cool: If ever there was a car I would trade the vette for this would be it. :D :D


GTO :cool: 57 chevy vert :cool: :cool:

The 64 has a 327 and is for sale 26k.


I'll load more pic's later.
Imagine the wheelys you could do in this. :crazy:




I'd take him in the 1/4 :lol: :jester

The Impala is a 61 punched the wrong key. :crazy:First year for the SS.
This is the second time I've seen this ford powered vette he even put blue oval's on the hood he wants $6000 I think for the car. It needs a ton of work.

Nice pics! General car shows are great, you get to see a variety of cars and actually get really good ideas for mods.

A Ford motor in a Vette, that is actually worse than the guy who put the diesel motor in his Vette, I hope he got beat up when nobody was looking :jester

Beautiful pictures. It makes me want to go to more car shows!!!

I can't believe someone would install a 460 Ford in a Corvette. The ONLY Ford motor I would install in a C3 would be a DOHC 427!!!!!!

Bob :cheers:
