I will get this started with some of the pics I have been collecting over the past year or two. Some of these are from the other x-body sites, some from ebay, and a few might even be from here. Not all of them are Skylarks, so don't get all bent out of shape if a bowtie, olds, or poncho picture shows up! Except for Bills car, I don't know who owns them all, so don't ask. Enjoy!
The first one is Bill Wills' car at BPG '06, then the yellow car was one for sale locally, and the others I've simply pulled off the internet. Enjoy, as well!
How do you get your photo's to come in so large? When I do load them they always seem to be thumbnails that have to be opened up to see them better.
Here is a pic of my Apollo when it had a Chevy 350 in it. Also note the nasty hood scoop. :spank: The hole they cut in the hood is almost perfect for a Stage 2 scoop which will look much better. I am almost ready for the 455 swap I have planned, I just need to get a trans and a few odds and ends for the engine. :3gears:
Clint, what type of trans are you going to run? I have a few laying around that might work, depending on what you have planned, especially if you like 400 turbo's or a BOP powerglide. Let me know, Randy
Erik, those are some great looking cars. I have to admit when we were trying to get the X-body forum going here, I wasn't even thinking about the FWD X-bodies that came after 1979. My dad loved them, and owned at least 4 of them, a Pheonix, a Skylark, and a couple of Omega's for sure. Blaze333, that wheelstanding Skylark looks AWESOME. Was that your car, or someone you knew? Would love to hear about what he had in it, and what was done to get that much rear tire underneath it. Keep the pictures coming guys!
The dark blue one is mine. The red wheelstander is one I pulled off the internet , but I dont remember where. I had it saved to hardrive because I thought it was awsome. Looks like it was taken at Norwalk. I'm hopfull that my Space Invader will pull a wheel like that when I get the new 455 in it next spring.:TU:
