Found a picture of one of my favorite trucks!

 

The Camaro's are awesome to see.

 

This is so cool. Talking to the original owner of this rare shaker hood 340 R/T ‘71 Challenger.

The Shaker on the Challenger was short lived because of crash tests if my memory is correct

 

That is correct on the early Challenger. this guy explains it to perfection.

 

Dig the barn finds!

 

Waybackmachine:
Ferrari of Seattle on 12th Ave and Madison in 1984 had a 288 GTO for sale for $94k.
Told my dad to buy it and sit on it for 1.5 years and then sell it.
Granted that the house we lived in on 12th and Prospect (1205 E. Prospect for those interested in Redfin) was $175k at the time.
He said "Are you crazy?!? That thing costs as much as a house!"
I think there was some sort of snarky statement in there, do you want to go to college or buy a car?

Fast forward 1.5yrs later and those 288 GTOs swelled up in price to $950k - $1.4m.
Current prices are $2.5M - $2.8m IF you can find an owner to part with it.

 

I saw almost this exact car "NEW" back in 1966, Aztec bronze with a fawn interior L-72 425hp 427, only difference was that it had Mickey Thomson mags on it. That car was sharp, it amazed me that an el chepo Biscayne could look as good as it did!

 

if I remember right someone actually wrecked Big Oly in 2022, and not even in the Baja, was in the baja safari class so like a vintage slower paced drive thing. like a tour.
