JMO but that Carolina blue '62 Plymouth Fury was one ugly car but when you see the 413 Super Stock engine it somehow makes it look sooooooo much better! LOL

No they didn't lease me a new car. It ran great when I bought it for $1500 but I was 17 and drove around like an idiot trying to do burn outs and not checking the oil. I put headers on it. It sounded really good. Here is a photo of me putting a small block 350 in it that I found at a junk yard, after I blew the first engine.

Don't feel bad i had it down to about 4 hours to change engines in my old 68 Camaro and about 6 hours to do it in my little shortbox 77 Ford,using the front end loader on my Dads tractor,lol. I knew exactly what wrenches and sockets to fish out of the toolbox to do the job on both,lol. The Camaro had a ferocious appetite for engines,it went through at least one a summer,the truck usually made it 2 summers,lol

While getting the oil changed in my Power Wagon Friday I was checking out a Hellcat.
It was pretty cool, and the manager offered me a pretty sweet trade for my PW (just clocked 20K miles).
Still, had to pass...
I like not having a car payment...

I remember back in '74 my dad bought a '70 GTX. It was dark green with a black vinyl top and he opened the trunk and it was lime green inside (obviously a cheap paint job). I remember saying I'm so glad it was painted a different color because that was the ugliest color I'd ever seen. Fast forward 25ish years it's now one of my favorite colors, even painted one of my own vehicles that color. Funny how time changes things! LOL

The big car show I am doing on Saturday made the news lol. 
That seems so true. Over the years the cars of mine that I was so proud of I'd be lucky to get a participation trophy. Now I have this truck that I put it in shows because it doesn't cost anymore to get in and it's closer to the race track and it has got some first place trophies to 3rd place. I have a lot less blood sweat and tears in this one than I did the ones I was most proud of.

Gotta love facebook, never know what you'll come across, you can own this 2009 two-wheel drive beast for the low, low price of $7,500, reduced from $8,000 for a quick sale. No low-ball offers, he knows what he has - LOL

Heading up to Radium tomorrow for the Columbia Valley Classics Show and Shine.
I swear the police disappear when they hold this event. Cars doing burnouts right on main street and people line the road to watch them.
I was there last year and everywhere you turn is classic car to drool over. They fill the entire driving range at the golf course for the show and shine on Saturday.
I will get in a few rounds of golf while I am out there too. Should be a fun boys weekend.

455/4-Speed: 1976 Pontiac Trans Am

The 1976 model year was the end of an era for the Pontiac Trans Am. Few realized at the time, but it would be the last where buyers could order these classics with a legendary 455ci V8 under the hood. This is one of those cars, and faulting its presentation is pretty hard. The only thing it appears to need is a new home, and I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Rocco B. for spotting this beauty.
Pontiac’s Second Generation Firebird remains among my personal favorites, but nailing down which I would park in my garage is challenging. I have always been drawn to the styling of the ’76 Trans Am, but my preferred paint shade would be the Martinique Blue that the company offered in 1978. The seller confirms that while this car wears its correct shade of Starlight Black, it underwent a repaint approximately fifteen years ago. The only imperfections are minor chips on the bumper, suggesting nobody has gone out of their way to wear out this classic since the repaint. The panels are laser-straight, with the underside shots confirming that this Pontiac is rust-free. The graphics, including the iconic Screaming Chicken, are crisp and clean, and the Snowflake wheels are spotless. The Snowflakes rate a special mention because this car rolled off the line fitted with a set of Rally II wheels. However, the first owner soon discovered they preferred the alloys, swapping to this set as soon as they had the chance.
If anything surprises me about this Trans Am, it is the original owner’s decision to combine Starlight Black paint with Buckskin vinyl interior trim. Black and Red were more popular choices according to several resources that I have, but that point of difference helps this car to stand out. The presentation isn’t up to the same standard as the exterior, with the driver’s seat showing some wear and deterioration. However, with the remaining upholstered surfaces in good order and no evidence of abuse, it is comfortably acceptable for a driver-grade classic. It seems apparent that the first owner focused on performance because the only factory options specified on the Window Sticker are the air conditioning, console, and rear defogger. They also specified an AM/FM radio, which has made way for a modern CD player.
Everything to this point has been the entree, meaning it is time to move on to the main course. The 1976 model year was significant because it was the last where buyers could order a Trans Am with a 455ci V8 under the hood. The first owner chose that path, adding the four-speed close-ratio manual transmission, a 3.23 rear-end, and power-assisted steering and front disc brakes. It is fair to say that this engine was a shadow of its former self, delivering 200hp and 330 ft/lbs of torque. Rewind the clock to 1971 and the driver would have had at least 335hp and 480 ft/lbs at their disposal. There is a vast chasm between those figures, just as there is when the subject turns to the ¼-mile ETs. A 1971 Trans Am took 14.3 seconds to complete the journey, with the time ballooning to 16.4 seconds when this car rolled off the line. That demonstrates quite graphically how things changed during The Malaise Era. The seller claims that this Pontiac has a genuine 23,000 miles on its odometer without mentioning verifying evidence. They state that it drives better than it looks, opening the door for a pretty enjoyable motoring experience.
The seller listed this 1976 Pontiac Trans Am here on Craigslist in Farmingdale, New York. They set their price at $54,500, which is well above the market average. However, it isn’t unprecedented for a car in this condition and with a 455 under the hood. It isn’t perfect, although its presentation makes it ideal for someone seeking a high-end driver. Its most significant attribute is undoubtedly its engine because that 455ci V8 marked the end of an era. There has often been debate about which would be the best cars to preserve that will allow future generations to appreciate what was lost with Pontiac’s demise. This Trans Am must be a strong contender. Do you agree?
Chop the top, put in a roll cage and some go fast bits and hit the ATV trails.
