Crazy how cheap.Cheaper than the Jetaway automatic option! You got a lot for that $152.71.

442 thread...
 
This thread is very cool...lots of nostalgia and great commentary.

Cars like this and the people who appreciate them are what the hobby is all about.

----Pastieners (sp) is on Woodward at about 14 mile on the east (might be considered north) side and they have a Saturday morning cars and coffee every week. Starts early and is mostly over at noon at the latest. Their store is a great automotive book, magazine and diecast model place. Think you would love it. Lots of GM history in the Pastiener family! The store has a website. I don't get down there too often as it's about an hour, but I definetly could make an effort,,,,LOL!...Bill S

How did I NOT know about this? My wife and I have a condo in Birmingham that my older son and his fiance' live in. Furthermore all the guy's meet at Mt. Chalet (14/Woodward) the week of Dream Cruise so I know the area well. Gladly head there sometime to meet up. Change of pace from the west side stuff.

Get there early if you want a parking spot!
I’m 20 minutes from there and it fills fast!

Just drove by it this morning. Parking there is VERY limited.

The old girl still has some steam. Imagine even better after a tune. Wish the original owner ordered an Anti-Spin! Charlie Lillard's driveway video's were the inspiration here.

Put almost 300 enjoyable miles on the car before storage time with the others. Just something about a unrestored, unmolested car that can't be replicated during a restoration. Had it at a friends' local Wednesday car show a couple weeks back. A few A body's present including original paint (Barrier Blue) '66 GTO convertible. Tri-Power 4 speed. Interesting history on that one.

Car looks great Todd. When you get it out in the spring bring it by the house. I’m only a mile east of downtown Plymouth.
