  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Recovered from a 3 year barn hybernation!!!!

    WoW!!!:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: 57 Chevy Belair 2 Door Hardtop

    A little old lady owned this. Her husband was killed in an auto accident and she received a bunch of money. She always wanted one of these and her two young boys set out to find her one to drive back and forth to church services.

    Seems they got the car they wanted and not the car she wanted. She drove it a couple of times and parked it in the barn. Best part is she never let them drive it!!

    I stopped and inquired about it! Seems it has been in the barn for the past 3 years. It was started about 3 or 4 times a year.

    This is unbelieveable!!!!

    To make a long story short, I bought it and drove it home to give it the love and nurturing it deserves!

    427 Big Block, 400 turbo trans and an old Olds rearend....definitely a posi (Laid a patch on the way home :laugh: )
    I have no idea what gear it's got yet, but the speedo is definitely off.


    Lots of pics to come

    These pics do not do this thing justice. My digital cam is a piece of s#*t! But, better than nothing.... Bought this baby for $7500!

    Carburator (sp) is flooding with gas above 35 MPH or so!(probably from sitting)... other than that, it's absolutely spectacular!!!

    My hand to God... I didn't ask her age.... but I would say she was 60 -65 years old. My wife is still in disbelief that I brought this thing home.

    I don't know if it needs the wheelie bars. But there is a some wear on them most likely from a previous owner. :grin:

    TAXI

    So am I Ryan. No offense but it ain't no Buick! TAXI maybe, but no Buick.

    Taxi, oh Taxi......

    :beer

    But it isn't a ricer!

    :Dou:

    That is an interesting story on the lady owner! Wish I could find a GS with a story like that!

    Taxi!! Oh Taxi????!!!!! LOL

    Well, After doing some fine tooth combing of the car, I have discovered that is does actually use the Wheelie bars!

    I know this because the gas tank is absolutely mangled where the bar has evidently slammed into it several times... Think I'll go with a fuel cell in the truck!



    Definitely not a Rice Burner!!!!!:Brow: :Brow: :Brow:
