Who's got a classic car?

Anyone on here have any oldschool rides? Whether restored or future Project.



Our Family has a '29 Model A nearing completion, and my dad owns a 41 caddy (far from being restored, and an all original 79 Lincoln continental, great shape, and runs mint.

Im looking for a 50 to 53 chev 9300 series, or any other 50s truck with a split front window.

Couldn't find a pic of the model a or Lincoln, but here's the caddy

I have 3 future projects, 48 GMC (original), 56 Chevy 2 door wagon (original) and a 66 Chevy truck that I built in high school then sold and bought back. The 48 and 56 will stay close to original, the 66 is nowhere near original with 4 wheel disk brakes and a TPI 350. Sorry no pics.

I don't have one..but those old 57/58 chevy's are sweet when redone. They clean up real nice. Used have a buddy who restored one..talk about envy.

Sirscrapalot - Enjoys old cars.

'69 Bumpside 360 w/4 speed no p/s or power brakes so don't even think about using the phone when driving. Only mod is AM to FM radio swap from a Ford Rancho that cost a buck at a garage sale.

Standard Vanguard '54 'Beetleback' Its got a Massy Fergison (Tractor) engine in it.

Not a car and not very old but I get to have the experience of owning, riding and working on a 1938 BMW motorcycle. This bike is a Chang Jiang CJ750 Made in China. Most of the parts will bolt on a 1938 BMW R71, it is that close, but the parts aren't made of "unobtainable". In other words the parts are plentiful and inexpensive [sometimes you have to wait for the "slow boat from china". I rebuilt it in 2003. The only thing I have not had apart is the trany.

How about a 1964 Chevy Impala, took seven years to rebuild back to original.

The only things that were done to the car that are not stock is that I had the cylinders bored .40 over because they were egg shaped, and a 350 cam put in when the engine was rebuilt. Every part in the engine that could be chromed, has been, and the Munci 4 speed was rebuilt into a rock cruncher.

It was my parents car before me, my father had found a guy who inherited a building his father had purchased in 1974 at auction, but never did anything with. It was an old Chevy's parts warehouse, so I was able to purchase everything from decals, to interior, original radio, emblems, lights, etc all original, all 1964 in the box. I purchased a Biscayne 4 door, took the tilt wheel and air conditioning out and put them in the car, as well as the blue tinted glass that was a stock option. I found a company that owned the original molds used to cast the exhaust, and had the exhaust re-casted. I had the paint, which was called Chinese Red in 1964, mixed to spec. And before painted too it down to bare metal, the did two coats of primer I wet sanded myself. It was a frame off restoration, so the frame was sandblasted, and powder coated along with the rims. All the trim was straightened and the reflective decals in the center replaced.

There is a lot more I have done to the car, I used to take it to car shows and walk away with first prize more often than not. But now days I'm not to keen on taking it anywhere, it draws a certain kind of unwanted attention from a certain group of people. I was once at a car show in Sacramento California, where a guy with several of his friends tried to convince me in the wrong way that I should sell them my car, and then followed me off the park grounds. Ever since that experience I have stopped going to car shows.

The really cool thing about the car is that I was brought home from the hospital as a baby in the car, as my sister was, but also my niece and nephew and my own daughter, it's become a family tradition of sorts that I hope continues.

It's been in a few magazines back in the 90s, late great Chevy's being one, the name of the story was Big Red and has pictures of my car parked in front of a 747 400 which back when the picture was taken, was the first 747-400 sold, to United Air Lines who I was working for at the time. I was able to get the car onto the airport maintenance base and get the picture taken, which isn't something you could do today.

When I find the time, and I can get the pictures scanned, I'll post some pictures.
