February 22, 200817 yr Saw some new old stuff today with NOS...Many have been seen before, but not these so much.... Here is a model of the elusive Bison II Twin Turbine Transport XP-795 Chevy Astro III -the only 3 wheeled Vette I know of... check out the exhaust! You tell me what this is and win a prize: 600hp V8 ASSTECH: Astro I is 30 inches high...if that. So much cool stuff - it's like a wierd dream, but then you don't wake up... Hydrogen powered in 1966 -back to the future. Edited February 22, 200817 yr by mightymouse

February 23, 200817 yr Cadillac leMans? I was hoping for less general answer, the original LeMans concept (1953) had the '56 production style tail fins.... not like this one~ but I guess you are kind of right...

February 25, 200817 yr Ahh I'll post, just in time.. I've gotta upload and resize everything still. Is there a quicker upload than Photobucket that allows you to have your own gallery?
February 25, 200817 yr I should donate my Pontiac Custom-S to the Heritage Center. After all it's a 350 V8 with no B pillar , that was made for only one model year in 1969. I bet they don't have one, I will have to look into it and give them a call. Edited February 25, 200817 yr by Pontiac Custom-S
February 26, 200817 yr How long have you had that car and where did you buy it? I had a good friend in high school back in the 80s in New England whose parents had one exactly like yours: 1969 silver Custom-S Hardtop. His dad claimed it had (if I remember right) a Mickey Thompson Sprint block installed at the factory by mistake. It was a daily driver and quite a sleeper (all the way down to the taxi cab-style front bench covers). They later replaced the standard hubcaps with Rally IIs. Nice looking sled.

February 27, 200817 yr Meh, there's gonna be a lot of editing.. I've got 379 pics to go through. Sorry I haven't gotten to this yet, everybody. Monday I worked 14.75 hours and yesterday I worked just over 14. Today might be pretty close to the same case, too... I'll get to it as soon as I can though!

I've has this car since I was 14, at that time I use to spend summers with my cousins in Florida, also in Florida at that time you could get your license at 14. My uncle signed for me since he was my guardian during the summer, my father was not to happy about that as I recall, but oh well. Edited February 28, 200817 yr by Pontiac Custom-S
