July 24, 200817 yr 1979 Chevy Monza 2+2 Caprice Classic "Kombi" 1968 Delta 88 Anticipating my arrival?? 1979 Toronado Something I have practice on... Roadmaster "Kombi" with front clip delete. Again with anticipating my arrival... Cutlass Supreme Convertible 1998 Ford Crown Vic - NYPD cop car. Shows passing through Port of Miami.... I bet this car has an interesting tale to tell. 1963 Riviera - only bid up to 505 euro
July 24, 200817 yr The Riviera IS very cool, what with a fire-engine RED nailhead. I personally would love to have that Delta-88 though... needs wheel covers BAD, that's not a car that looks good with black steelies, a set of hubcaps/wheelcovers/ARs/Cragars would go a long way to making that car a winner. Great example of a 4dr hardtop. A NY/NY cop car Ford in deutchland? wacky!
July 24, 200817 yr Author There is an unusually high number of Pontiac dustbuster mini-vans.... did they try to introduce Pontiac to the Euros? There are so many mustangs and camaros as to be unremarkable. And then there's this gem. 1978 AMC Pacer in what looks to be remarkably good condition. I'd like to meet the American serviceman who paid to have this imported and then see if I can score some of whatever it is he's smoking.....
July 24, 200817 yr Still better than the K-cars and J-bodies that were imported. As a kid, I mean knee-high to a German Sheapherd, I was walking along in some Slovakian city with my mom, & I looked over to a big, mostly empty parking lot at a major bus stop and something insanely unique and flamboyant caught my eye... it was a burgundy (1st gen. N-body) '85? Skylark four door. That one piece brake light was forever etched into my brain. If I even get one for a $100... like a real $h!pile winter beater, I'll save that big rear tail light when the car goes to be crushed. It was probably the US/Slovakian consulate or whatever but that tri-shield, flashy styling and fancy interior were so very out of place in that dark, communist era vehicle population that consisted of like 40% Skoda, 20%Trabant & then various Russian/Easter Bloc $h!buckets. To think now I don't even think twice when I see one at a junkyard... but to that 5/6 year old child of Socialism that unabashedly American little FWD, 2.8 L V6 (if that!) econobox was like most of you guys seeing a Ferrari Testarossa or Lambo Countach.
July 24, 200817 yr There is an unusually high number of Pontiac dustbuster mini-vans.... did they try to introduce Pontiac to the Euros? IIRC, the TransPort was sold for a number of years as a Chevy in Europe. The Olds Alero was sold as a Chevy for a while also.
July 24, 200817 yr IIRC, the TransPort was sold for a number of years as a Chevy in Europe. The Olds Alero was sold as a Chevy for a while also. Yep. I think I have a Chevrolet Alero brochure somewhere. That car came to Europe with the Olds logo but with the block-letter Chevrolet name.
July 24, 200817 yr Yep. I think I have a Chevrolet Alero brochure somewhere. That car came to Europe with the Olds logo but with the block-letter Chevrolet name. Sounds like good ol' GM to me.
July 24, 200817 yr so there's this 1/2 white, arab, black walks into a..... what's a bar called in german? LOL oops wrong thread the roadmaster... pretty poor shape, but the inside of the doors look quite clean. didn't look at all of them.
July 25, 200817 yr Yep. I think I have a Chevrolet Alero brochure somewhere. That car came to Europe with the Olds logo but with the block-letter Chevrolet name. pics?
July 25, 200817 yr So they changed the badge on the front, but not the rear? Edited July 25, 200817 yr by YellowJacket894
July 25, 200817 yr So they changed the badge on the front, but not the rear? We perfected that process with the badge engineered Holden G8, oops I mean Pontiac! :rotflmao:
July 25, 200817 yr A really strange, gassy, vague, despicably-apologetic thing popped up in Berlin today....
July 25, 200817 yr We perfected that process with the badge engineered Holden G8, oops I mean Pontiac! :rotflmao: You did indeed get it perfect that time around. :AH-HA_wink:
July 25, 200817 yr Author I didn't end up in Germany, I was born there. :AH-HA_wink: As much as we'd like to, we really can't blame that on Germany.
July 25, 200817 yr Ahhh see, now that's not nice. Who is this WE you keep talking about? You and what army?
