Well it seems spring is here and summer is coming. Time to put sleds away and get something else out. (don't worry I have sleds projects to do yet) I always wanted to have a mod tractor puller ( have been running w/ stock ones)and was actually starting to build one for fun. Well last couple wks been looking at buying one that was done and ready to go. You can see the results and the 429 sounds mean! All for less than a Liquidator!

Buick Grand National, possibly a 1987? Should have a factory V-6, 231 with turbo.

Ahhh, the 87 Chevy Monte Carlo SS, or Buick Grand National have always been personal favorites of mine. One of the VERY few '80s vintage cars I wouldn't mind owning.
From this photo, I can't positively ID the car, but I like it!

As you se there?s no slacking in the garage either, bought this one last year it?s been in this state for 20 years and I couldn?t stand it anymore.
The wife wasn?t quite so enthusiastic as me

Here's our '55 Chevys. Mine is the blue and white, the other is my father's.
Mine came out of a local salvage yard in '74, got it back on the road just before High School graduation in '77. It is powered by a '64 327, quadrajet carb, headers, GM 350 hp Corvette cam, three on the floor.

Pa's car came from the state of Georgia. It has the stock 265 V8 with powerglide.
It has a custom interior.

The photo was taken last Oct, at my brother's wedding. It is raining in the photo ( taken around noon ) by 7:00 pm it was snowing, by 11:00 pm they were spreading road salt! Luckily, we had both cars home in the garage by then.

That a Ford 429 I assume?
Man, at one time I had a 71 Mach One w/429CJ and last I had a 70 Cobra Torino with a built and chromed 429SCJ. SUPER engines, wound tight and surprised more than a few Bowtie boys!

Still have one more 429SCJ tucked away in pieces...awaiting the day....

Fun to hear what all everyone else has, glad this Forum's up!

Yes it is left hand drive in sweden but the chevy is assembled in Sweden, and for the cars it?s a 1975 Buick Electra 225 Limited it?s the largest buick built i think at over 233 inches, and the heap of junk is a more modest 1939 Chevrolet Master
