Yup! That's the car.Anyone else think it's welcome to come play with us? I promise the GTO will play nice :Brow:
:TU: Already passes tech as far a I'm concerned (then again, I am slightly prejudiced). What year is that Buick? o No:
I've owned far far worst and been proud of them. It's looking like another Olds at RIO racing (Rhode Island Ohio) camp for this year :TU:
Based on the pics...I would say run it. :TU: It would not be the first car with some issues. My Vette had paint flakes off the fender tops and a whole boat load of door dings (trim dents and paint chips) some of which were touched up with nail polish by the previous owner. ou: Ran it for seven years. I better stop because I run the risk of Dave H :rant: thinking I'm somehow talking about the Ram Rod, opening up my cars to name calling and ridicule. o No:
........and you deserve every bit of it!!!!!!!!!! :Brow: :Brow: :Brow: :beer :beer :beer :bglasses: :bglasses: :bglasses: That car's gorgeous compared to mine.
You're right - there's water on the hood and the gas pedal looks kind of dirty. I'd say you better take it off his hands and save him all the trouble he'd have racing it.
it's also 30 miles over on an the next scheduled oil change, and there are 3 big bugs in the aircleaner... the car is a turd, I tell you.
I like tit,silver with black stripes looks awesome.I would definetely race it,oops wait,first i would set that front end up,then i would race it :TU:
Nice car. I can't imagine Bob and Dan having a problem with it -- especially for a first-timer. The only question I have is the wheels; I can't tell -- are they 15"? Technically, they're supposed to be 14" for PSMCDR. But I wouldn't let that stop him from showing up. Don't ask, don't tell, and I think he'll be fine.
You could get 15 inch wheels on Cutlasses. Forget the option code, was one of the mandatory optins as part of the B01/B07 police package. Not a very popular option, though. John: Whatcha think, about a 4 inch raise on the front for that Akron look?
The wheels are 14". John two things: 1. Your Akron look membership has been revoked, Please turn in your hand shake at the door and leave with your head hung! :spank: 2. What were you doing on your lunch brake! Maybe you had reason for loosing your head and that will be discussed in your absence at the next "Akron Look" meeting! Until then there is to be no eye contact with active Akron look members! :laugh:
here is the lemans I was talking about, I wish I could have bought it but oh well. it really had no gloss left in the paint but sure looked good going down the track in front of a superbird http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/onebadgl/lemanspsmcdr.jpg
Such a shame,once the "Grand POO BAA" of the Akron look ............now a disgraced outcast. ou:Maybe the boys from Michigan will let him in? I can see the ad now. Up for adoption one forty year old male slightly gray in the temples friendly,polite,and well manner. Has large collection of vintage musclecars free to a good car club.Contact the Akron look club. Sorry John we'll miss ya! :ball:
It's looking better and better for this car. Owner has seen the "light" that not all cars there are frame off restorations :TU:
how much "patina" is too much ? little bit of rot and bubbling ok ? i think my car is a 100 footer uzzled:
whoops , i just saw this , i need to read more ? maybe a little duct tap and green paint applied :spank:
The standards for appearance are based in large part on where the car's from: Cars from the Southwest are expected to be pristine. Cars from the Rustbelt are allowed a modicum of rust bubbling through -- unless they're from Michigan, in which case fist-sized holes are also acceptable. Cars from the NASCAR states are allowed as much duct tape as they want, provided it's not wrapped around the tires for traction.
