    ...Indeed Don! We'll look forward to being in good company at this year's BBQ ;-) As you know, Mike's 390 4-spd is also Highland Green. Tho mine looks good as a "20 footer" - I hope to get it repainted in time for the event. One of the prescribed flaws when I bought it was that it had a poor...

    Thanks Don. I'm grooming my 13yr old as well. He is a consumate lover of cars and helps me to take the best care of these. He has driven a couple of them around our (quiet neighborhood) block a few times while always being at the ready w/ vacuum, polish, window cleaner etc... It was he who...

    Don't let the sunshine fool you.......

    .....It was COLD!! - but with family in town, we decided to take a 75-mile drive with the four GT/CSs and the '70 Mach. Performance was flawless and we got to enjoy a full combo of winding roads, freeway, hills, trees... and alot of admiration from cellphone-cammed mini-vans! Stops for lunch...

    GT/CS for sale salinas, CA

    ...I don't think $21K is too much, given the fact it is a nice restomod. 'Long as the buyer doesn't think it's real CS. Many "modded" coupes sell for more $$. I paid $18 for my clone and have absolutely no regrets. ...Matter of one's desires....

    Red/Black GT/CS in Autotrader

    ...I had one on my old green CS back in the '70s. It seemed fitting then (along w/ the Thrush side pipes) but wouldn't do it today. Besides; it was the bolt-on type that departed @ speed on the freeway whereby I ran over it... 'Didn't re-install it after that. I don't like any...

    ...Oh, ya know, that's right!! In the past; Mike has claimed "sole drivership" of that car - but he'll have his OWN darn S-code to drive! So there!! Don, take my 390 CS (or 428CJ Mach) instead ;-)

    ...Don. lets have Joe bring you to my house. We'll have a more "docile" CS ready for you to drive to Mike's after eliminating so many Chevys b/w here and Modesto! Hopefully, Donna & Tim can make it too for another "formation flight" out to Chicago Park :-))

    When is gone GONE for a car

    Steve, for me that was just an odd way of saying you have another unique & beautiful car. Joe would make much better "son" I'm sure. ....Except for his allowance! He will hit you up at least three times a year to replace the rear tires. Make him work for it!!! ;-) ;-) ;-)
