    furiousgoat Sold goat, bought Buick!

    This car just came in last week. It's not a daily driver so it maybe doesn't qualify. However it should make the cut for a "car in the barn" category.

    And at OldTown one evening, a 72 like mine went though. The guy didn't stay afterwards so I didn't get a chance to talk with him.

    Curtis. We used to have a fairly large group of us from up here in North Fl that used to go to the October BOP show at Oldtown. That show and that place is awesome. Last time I was there was in 02 I think. I'll see if I have any pics.

    I saw one of these driving around today. It's a Factory Five GTM kit car. The guy said it had a 667hp ls7 corvette motor and it weighed 2600 pounds.

    When I say 10 of us.. I mean from the V8Buick board.

    There were alot of nice Buicks there.

    I believe over 300 cars that day.

    Its funny, Brian, that you posted that Pontiac wagon as the first pic. Besides 64 & 65 Skylarks & Specials, those are some of my favorites and I watch for em all the time.:eek2:

    Here is a pic of two, just down the street from one of my rentals. These twins have been there for many years and never move. Once in a while a tire goes flat, and the owner just pumps it up. I have one just like these at home. Same color and equiptment. I have no idea what his plans are for them??? :confused:

    Next is another one I saw only once at a restaraunt in my town. I have no other knowledge about it.

    The next one I saw in Virginia on the way from Lynchburg to Danville. I like the way the sun was just hitting the old gal as if she were being "called home", so to speak. :laugh:

    [​IMG]

    The last one I also saw in Virginia on the way from Charlottesville to Lynchburg. This one I got the owners name and phone number, but she says that she's going to hang on to it for now. I tried to re-connect with her a couple of months ago but with no sucess. I'll keep trying. :Do No:

    I'm sure that I have more, but this was all I could find tonight. :TU:

    Not exactly fitting for the thread, but i'll label it as an oddity. Or, a Cadillummer.

    This vette was flawless.

    Funny thing about this one. We were walking down the sidewalk and passed a man. The guy had a big bushy mustache, and was wearing short shorts. After we had passed him, joking around, I asked my girlfriend if she happened to notice that Magnum PI just walked by. She laughed. Moments later, I saw this 308 GTS.
