In The Beginning

I saw a grey Vega wagon with a blower at Cayuga many years ago. I remember being told it was your old car.

I may have heard it was based out of the Hamilton area at that point.

Ya. He bought the car as a roller and paid all the money. He then gutted the car and made a full chassis. He should have bought a stock Vega. Not to smart.

No blower but the '73 Wagon below is for sale out Bowmanville way, cage/anything look familiar?
It's on F-Book Marketplace advertised as a 1973 Chevrolet Volt, try clicking here...

Hard to tell. But very possible. I did make the home made( RS ) bumper by cutting the centre section out. Also I left the 4 bolt spindles on the front but it's hard to see.

Thanks for posting.

Totally meaningless story crossed my memory today ... many years ago at Weston and Finch, there was a guy named Mark with a 68 (maybe 67) Mustang fastback. I think it was blue. He had a hot looking girlfriend who may have possibly had her own Mustang. At some point in time, my friend Serge T (mentioned earlier in this thread) and I went to Marks house so Serge could purchase some headers for the 428 Serge was putting in his drag Mustang (71-72).

Fast forward quite a few years and another friend and I decide to spend some time at the Toronto Zoo. While there, I spot two women with several kids in tow. One of the women looks just like Marks girlfriend from years ago. I stroll up to her and politely ask "are you married to a guy named Mark" ... she growled "I was" with a look like I was Marks lawyer and she had lost everything because of me.

That was the end of that conversation.

I can't imagine someone so miserable being divorced

I told you it was a meaningless story.

[QUOTE=useless tony;1585640]I just remembered, I was a kid and riding my bicycle on Van Horne near Leslie and stopped to chat with a guy who had a primered 68-69 GTO in the driveway (his parents house). While I was there, a friend of his dropped by with a white '68 Runner with the Hemi badge in the hood. Was supposedly a hemi car but had a 383 in it at the time. I remember the guy with the GTO saying he and his buddies would go street racing. The GTO guy also had a '69 Camaro that he painted at the house (candy red) and as I recall, he had issues with the clear coat 'yellowing' the white stripes he had painted.

I can't help but wonder if these two were part of the Warden/Shepp, Weston and Finch, Harvey's Hot Ones crowd.

Sorry, Tony. I don't recall any of those cars.

Great stuff...my original 70 L78 had the 4.56 gears and all the other goodies. Ran high 12's at Dover...really screamed with those gears.

Really enjoyed your story and the photos...more please
