    Not sure how I made "Ed McHam's Weber's" a "photo for all to see," and posted just a thumbnail of the "infinitely more important photo of MY CAR...???" LOL!!!! Trying again...

    ...Still happily thumbing my nose at the many folks who, with the best of intentions, have offered me a"good deal" on Sport Wheels... (Dual white stripe radials are in my future, oh so perfectly complementing the Best Deluxe Wheel Covers ever offered by an American car manufacturer...!!!" :)

    That blue 1/2 shirt looks 80s but not NHRA safety wear:eek:.
    Cool shots, thanks.

    ...I confess, I may have skipped a few pages in the photo album... But, can't race AND take racing pics... LOL! Handed the camera to someone here... 1992. '71 350-4 with just under 100K miles. My daily driver, working in Chicago. IIRC, 15.90's...

    ...We return you to pictures of more "general interest." (Walt...??? John Everett...??? Are you there??? LOL)
    Don Colomb was the first person I ever met who not only owned a Buick GS, but also had the audacity to propose to race such competitively.!
    (Driving home from a friend's house, I slammed on the brakes and "made a u-ey" when I spotted a '66 GS with the hood up across the canal...)

    The 425 that eventually powered the first steel-bodied, Nailhead-powered GS into the 11's...

    I see an awsome corner of a Burgundy mist and white top 66 Wildcat GS :D next to my 96 Ram.
    See if you have a picture of the tailgate on the truck.....
    Cool pictures

    John... If your interest was the tailgate, I hope Patrick's post satisfied. Here's a pic of the elusive 425-8v '66 Wildcat...

    If you look closely, you can see the rear tires and hubcaps in the bed of the truck in the tailgate photo.
