Nice pics I like quite a few of those cars, Thanks.
Is that black one a Pentara? Looks like it.

Man those are some beautiful cars. How often do you guys get together?
What's the history of your car? restored or original? Did you have it painted or previous owner? And your engine bay is spectacular.
I have a 71 coupe mostly all original, but not nearly in as nice of shape as yours. It's a very nice driver, but I'd be embarrased to park near any of those cars.

thanks for the photos,
Oscar

ICEMAN59 - yup, that's a Pantera...one of many that show up there

raider21 - Donut Derelicts is a weekly cruise-in that has been going on for 20 years. Hundreds of cars cycle through every Saturday AM between 6 & 8 AM...this is the official web site link http://www.donut-derelicts.com/. Thanks for the compliments...my '70 is is a numbers matching car with 43,000 miles on it. Overall the car is pretty much original...it was painted once over the years by a previous owner. I've done some minor engine work and changed the exhaust, but other than that the car is stock.

Where's your Vette. The blue C3 looks like a '68?

Nothing gets your attention like a blown Hemi!

Yes, today is 6 inches of snow and it's still coming down. You just have to love living at nearly 5000 feet. I think the idea of 6:am cruise would be great.

You aren't kidding...I grew up on the east coast and what goes on out here is not cold. When it gets down into the 50's like it was this AM jackets and gloves are the norm.

Oh my, if anything has been designated as a "Death Trap". The above little rod takes the cake! 750-800HP, 1900 lbs or even less.

Several of those cars belong to friends of mine.

The yellow 57 is a guy named Gene, stout small block with a Nash 5 spd

The Black 32 Ford with the blue flames is a buddy Bob, that was Dan Finks personal car for a few years, it has a SVO 302 with a tunnel ram, very , very nice car.

The stock looking 56 vette is a guy George, it has a stout 450+ hp injected 383 with a Nash 5 spd. He took it drag racing a few months ago and did a 360 without touching the wall.

The donut shop is a lot of fun.
