My absolute Fav-my 69 Grand Prix w/ factory 350 hp pontiac 400, bought it in Ca for 600$ in 1987, drove it 70 thousand miles until I thought I would be cool and outrun the Cops one night and made car 4 feet shorter on something real solid!!! Ran it at the strip when I was stuck in Va in the Navy, car was bone stock, ran 15.00's in 90 degree heat, I had much faster cars before that, during that time and since then but never as attached. Have had 10+ 2nd gen T/A's and firebirds, currently have a near perfect show quality 74 T/A that I am puttimng a MEfI 4 efi controlled 455 in that just made 588 hp on the Dyno, have a 75 T/A that I am putting a 502 or 540 as soon as the 74 is done, its more of a daily driver with a few blemishes.

It is sweet, and fast lol... he used to offroad it but after rolling it bad one day, spent two years restoring it... doubt he'll take it offroad again, maybe minor stuff. Take the top off and it's a blast to drive, has a modified 351, and the 4 point racing harnesses look cool too lol. I'll try to get better pics.
Makes me want to get one, but their actually very hard to find for sale in good condition.

Nice! . . . . just got a loaded 93 Eddie Bauer 351w one owner truck. Has been in storage and not driven since 2002, I had to do the fuel and brake system but thats about it been purring like a kitten since i fired it up. Only other thing i did was freshen up the faded paint and do a custom treatment on the factory EB stripes. I did not fix one dent in the truck and the cosmetics only took a couple days, shes a cream puff . Love driving this thing, i have had several Broncos from a mint 55k mile 77 302 3spd ranger pkg to a 78 400m 4spd and an 86 EB. Great trucks i will have this one a while

1999 Mercedes CLK430. Got it when they first hit the street, was a hard to find car and had to travel to get it. I removed all the badges so many people did not even know what it was.
275HP V-8, wonderful breaks, nice cornering, and I thought it had very nice lines for the time.
